You posted earlier about the length. it sound like there are more materials than you are able to cram into your project's length. If that's the case I suggest instead of "every saga" you can only briefly go over ones that are set up by trolls or even omit them altogether. This leaves only sagas that Chris brought upon himself (Game Place, Gamestop, Megan, Running over Snyder, each of these have the benefit of being related to one another as well), which is already plenty of material and more interesting anyway. Plus it is freeing you from having to go off on a tangent every time to explain every troll, and allowing the audience to focus on Chris's faults alone.

Yeah I thought about that but it would kind of make it seem like more of a casual movie for just new people to chris chan and not the fans. I am trying to balance bolth.
 
Honestly, I'd re-cut that trailer to a nice clean :30 and send you the Premiere file of it, but I really don't want all that Chris Chan shit on my hard drive. It'd never completely go away.
 
I've always thought that a Chris-chan documentary should either start -- or end -- with an excerpt from his "FUTURE MESSAGE". Either as a means to ground you before the inevitable fall, or as a stark contrast to see how far gone he is by the end.

Love the bit at the end with the white silhouette of Chris doing that kick! Leaving the medallion in was a genius touch!

Certainly a good way to bookend the film on.

It was corny but the it fit the goofball tone. Thank you.

I have had multiple dreams where I am allot older and am either chasing down chris or run into him. Everytime i chase him he has died of very scary things. One particular one was I was at my school and I saw him sporting a trenchcoat waltz on by, and while chasing him into the parking lot he screamed "LEAVE ME ALONE" not after five minutes he collapsed of a heart attack. Even my brain makes jokes in my dreams sometimes. But in all seriousness I have had multiple dreams like this and they are becoming scary visions that are starting to make me wonder if this is for the best, Or will it only fuel the inferno.

You've already posted here and shown the Premiere Pro screenshots, so this should be released.

I'll be honest. You're losing us.

Keep it documentary related, spy. Let's stay on topic.

I think it shouldn't hit much more than over an hour, really. Keep it simple, You could cut out anything dumb trolls made him do altogether, Chris humping his PS3 for his PSN accounts is kinda weird and funny but at the end of the day, Bluespike also showed how far Chris would go for his PSN accounts with the added bonus of being a sweetheart in the love quest.

Hit all the main sagas: Clyde Cash - DIRTY CRAPPED BRIEFS, Lack of empathy for someone he believes to have died, etc. Boom, done, move on. Asperchu - curse-ye-ha-me-ha, phone excerpts, executions in the books, move on. Don't dwell on any one-liners or anything, just give them what the saga revealed about the chan-man and let them decide if we're evil cyber bullies or just spectators watching over him who occasionally interfere. This is imperative for a documentary, it makes it a talking point and a discussion topic long after its finished.

Well, this is probably the best possible documentary about Chris that could have ever been made. Now we can tell people it's already been done, so that's a plus. The trailer was okay, you need snappier editing because the text and transitions feel awkward. Good luck dude.

I guess there's another Internet lesson learned: don't put yourself out there if you're afraid you can't/won't deliver, unless you're an ebic trole :ween:

OP given that you've already revealed yourself to be a high school student, I don't think anyone is going to take a massive shit on your documentary if the quality is not up to par. As long as the content is neutral I think you're fine. In any case you're picking low-lying fruit because no one's made a serious attempt to do this until now, so perhaps it might spur on the efforts of people who are more competent in this arena.

(EDIT: I hope I'm not opening Pandora's Box here but I suspect the one side of the story we'll never see is PVCC's - and of course I'm talking about the forum and not the school. Is that topic anathema here? I'm guessing probably.)

@spylobster Can I just say dude, just fucking go for it. Look early works are never pleasant in retrospect (seriously I look back at some things I have done around 99/2000 an cringe) but to be honest you learn more from your fuck ups than epic wins.

Go for it you chose a subject a lot of people are into an already know in depth, want to grow as a artist? Post it get a genuine critique of the film from people who know the subject. Use it as the building block of a bunch of life experience in the art of documentary film making. Hell in 20 years come back an recut it an compare them side by side just as a marker to see how far you have come.
