6. Earl Watson
1 year ago
'Earl Watson' is a short film about a struggling street musician inspired by and edited to the music of Chidomo, and is my submission to this year's Vimeo Awards Narrative Category!
This video was about 3 months in the works from when the idea sparked to upload, and wow....I had a really great time bringing this together. It was my first time working with a human character as a main subject, extras, and multiple cameramen, and though it was challenging and frustrating at times, it was extremely rewarding, I learned a BUNCH of stuff, and I am very happy with how it turned out.
I am all the way open to critiques, comments, etc. so please feel free to let me know what you think/feel!
Enjoy!

cheers
I especially like the ECU of Earl's smile when he's counting the money—nice character moment. And congratulations on the $2.00 cash money—aw yeah! :-)
Best of luck in the festival!
I was a lot of challenging fun putting this together. Very rewarding :)
With my $2.00 I was actually able to pay two of my extras $1.00 each :P
Thanks again :)
