Visual Poem Pitch w/ Michelle Nys

We are planning to do our piece on people that work with their hands on projects, and film it from start to finish weaving in and out of each persons profession/project.

Some of the talents we are looking to explore are, baker’s, tailors, architects, carpenters,etc. We would make sure we get up close and personal in each persons facial expressions, hand motions, the before and after of the particular thing that they are working on.

I think that we would be able to tell a story both through each individual project and all professions intertwining with one another.

We would probably use some natural sound as well as music. But the idea is to get very close up shots of each profession.
