Snowy Sunday

Well, I hit the deadline and had something to screen on Sunday at church, but the snowy Seattle area kept 3/4 of the church away. So no screening, but it was sorta ready. I still have lots to do with the recital to make it more visually stimulating. 

We are talking about pipe organs after all. The biggest question I get about this project is, "Why pipe organs?" 

I suppose the next time I pick a documentary subject (or a subject picks me) it will be cooler. Like screamo bands ala The Fall of Troy. Why do they scream their lyrics, when they are actually good singers?

Or maybe squid fishermen standing on the pier in the dark November night jigging for squid. Visually perhaps a bit more exciting than the pipe organ, but we are talking about squid.

But for right now the pipe organ it is. 

The next shoot is set for the Paramount Seattle and their Mighty Wurlitzer playing for a silent movie. That shot is Jan 5. Many people in the classic pipe organ culture don't associate the Theater pipe organ together with a tracker or a more modern electric action classically voiced pipe organ. I am still trying to force the two cultures together in this documentary. I sometimes feel as though I am knocking my head against the wall trying, and it may not actually work. After all it is a documentary and that means that what I am showing must be true, right Michael Moore?
