Right to arms documentary

Posted by David Hardy · 14 April 2006 03:18 PM

I'll be on NRANews.com with Cam Edwards in about half an hour (around 5:40 PM EDT), probably discussing a project I've been working on since 2002, and hope to finish by summer -- our first Second Amendment documentary film. As the rough draft now stands, it's just a bit under two hours in length, featuring Profs Joyce Malcolm, Glenn Harlan Reynolds, Randy Barnett, Gene Volokh, Brannon Denning, Nick Johnson, plus Don Kates, Steve Halbrook, and David Kopel.

I've posted a short clip (if you can call a 19 meg MPEG file short). Remember, this is a very rough first draft. I chose this just to show how much untold history will go into the film.

[Update: the audio goes up and down from clip to clip because "normalizing" it so that it all is at the same volume is done only after a film is in final form. At this stage, each clip has its own native volume -- some people speak loud, others soft, and the mike isn't at the same position for each filming. Also the narration is lackluster, because I'm just sitting at the computer doing it into a mike. Final narration will be scripted, practiced, and done in a recording studio.]

David, that's EXCELLENT, but if the MPEG is anything to go by, you need to play with the audio levels from cut to cut. Some are very quiet, some are quite loud.

It would look more professional to film the interviews with a black (or other dark) backdrop (and probably to zoom in closer as well.

Nice contrast to the Moore pablum. I look forward to seeing the finished documentary!
