Chris Chan Documentary.

[Holdek]

Plan on acquiring the rights to that footage? It's not public domain.

Who cares?

Yeah, I don't know hes just here to act cool in front of CWC forum posters. Which is like me going into the tard class and putting on some sick shades, but I am in the same boat here as much as the next guy, and equally retarded if not more. So I cant judge.

But I do have the news videos in already, and I hope people will think its funny as much as I do how catching him on the news is like spotting Bigfoot, those kind of jokes I think are good in the sense that they are not making fun of him really, just more enjoying the goofball aurora that follows Chris everywhere he goes. At least how it use to.

There's very few posts that come up here that deal with my area of expertise. If you're an aspiring filmmaker, I'm giving you a quick dose of reality because this is how the world works, kid.

...If you're an aspiring filmmaker...

He already stated it's a high school project and he's a student, so you kind of really need to read slower (or read again) so you don't make these kind of mistakes.
It's like asking a boy what he wants to be when he grows up and immediately tell him he can't be that because he lacks knowledge or skill, which is just dumb because he's just a kid and have lots of years to practice and perfect the skills needed to be whatever he wants... heck, he could even prove to be the best one with enough practice.


Anyway, good luck with your project spylobster, I know some users already said most of what I also think about it (positive reviews), so I'm just going to say that I eagerly wait for the final product.

I'm a bitter, soul-less television professional

You may be a "television professional", but no need to be snide about it.

Have a good and safe day.

Thank you, also if you have any ideas you would like to share I am here to listen about it.

He's making a video as a high school project, not as a film school dissertation. As long as the documentary is not ween, I don't care and I doubt most people around here would either.

I am looking forward to watching this. It should be at the very least entertaining.

I am not a TV professional but those fancy screenshots look like there has been some concrete effort involved in this, so I applaud you SpyLobster.

 

[Phil Collins]

Really hope this happens.

The instructor I got made it a point that it is important to get permission for any work that isn't yours regardless of the laws simply as a way to cover your ass, because even if you're in the right you will still have to pay for a lawyer, so I can see why he's all up in arms about the risks this kid may be taking.

That said, most of the time the owners easily give you the okay because they don't care anyway as long as you're not making a profit. Plus, he's only using footages that other people before him have already uploaded, and combined with the "fair use" link thing posted earlier, I think he's pretty covered.

There is barely anything in the movie that hasn't been uploaded by other people. I use royalty free music and audio. There is no discussion tbh the only risk I face is the shitstorm that will divide people on who thinks its good and who thinks it is shit.

It's still good to do your homework and make sure you can legally use everything on your movie. The soundtrack is especially going to be a big deal, I recommend a little band called "Genesis".

Just a little curious what do you guys want to see most out of a chrisamentary in the terms of entertainment? So far I have gotten allot of feedback about the morality of it, but in the view of fun and silliness what would you fellas recommend

You know I got those high quality zooms babbeey

Are you saying that this bright eyed and bushy tailed kid is in for a world of hurt if he goes out half-cocked against the worst of what life is going to throw at him and if he just keeps his ears open and mouth shut he might live long enough to learn something from somebody like you who's been around the block a few times and as the scars to prove it?

Examples of how he screws himself over, his hostile/sexist/racist views against others, and how he hurts other people... basically anything that shuts up people who would otherwise give him a free autism card, and you may want those things emphasized yourself too because there will be those who are unfamiliar with him who will jump to conclusions and say you are bullying him by simply making this documentary. Remember you're doing this for school not for us.

No need to try to be funny on your part either. play it straight like an actual documentary. The humor works for the trailer because you're trying to catch people's attention, but for the film itself I would limit to only funny cuts, like where he says one thing but cut to another part where he does the opposite. Better yet, maybe you might have run across a few interviewees who defend him, so you can follow those up with cuts of Chris that contradict them.

Edit: and if you still need title ideas, I think "Sonichu" will suffice. It's short, to the point, and the accumulation of his life's work.

 

[Holdek]

Look, kid, I may not be a "TV professional," or a "professional" anything. Hell, I may not have a job or even be qualified to hold one. Actually, I may sell plasma just to keep the lights on because I'm clinically retarded. But I do know a thing or two about a thing or two, and one I thing I knows is what I likes. And I likes my lols about a manchild named Ian Brandon Anderson.

And from the looks of things, you're on the right track. So chin up, kid, and troll that tard hard.

I thought if I put in the videos of Chris being a jackass, people would say that I only showed the bad parts and not the redeeming qualities to sway towards justification of bullying. But now that I think about it if I balance the bad and good just right it will shut up the people who think its bullying, but also shut up the people that think I am making Chris look like a victim.

Also if anyone makes a solid idea like this ill put you in the credits if you want. Just ask!
(because without the titanic power of community we would have never known about Chris in the first place, so everyone that contributes deserves a good old fashioned thank you, within reason of course)

Look, kid, I may not be a "TV professional," or a "professional" anything. Hell, I may not have a job or even be qualified to hold one. Hell, I may sell plasma just to keep the lights on and be functionally retarded. But I do know a thing or two about a thing or two, and one I think I knows is what I like. And I likes my lols about a manchild named Ian Brandon Anderson.

And from the looks of things, you're on the right track. So chin up, kid, and troll that tard hard.

I laughed my ass off imagining a football coach before a game cornering me before I run out to the field, standing on a milk crate of course blurting out wonderfully inspiring words. But instead of the words being about football it was about a 30+ year old man child. Thank you.

I think you can use his incompetently manipulative nature in your favor here. Show him being sympathetic (getting too touchy feely with Megan but well within autism realms, his own footage trying to apologize to Snyder, his picking up of the SJW cause) and that would be the "good" side that you are trying to show. Then follow them up with the inevitable reveal of his true motives (uploading THAT drawing of Megan, calling Snyder a Jew in the same video when he refuse to accept the apology, bitterly lying about having a 7 inch dick when the lesbian won't hang out with him.) and that would be the bad side you attempt to show. In the end it will look like you tried your best to show him in a good light with the result still shunning him anyway.

That is do able but tricky, act like I tried to show the best of him but his nature just shined through the cracks.

I don't know if this has been mentioned (I am too lazy to scroll through this thread), but it would be awesome if @Marvin and @Alec Benson Leary would do interviews for this.

If it has been mentioned please press the late and autistic ratings accordingly.
