Michelle Michael Goes Bowling

Posted on February 23rd, 2011 Written on michael's blog


Do you like this?

NPPA Award WInner Michelle Michael's story about a man who works in a bowling alley.

We all spend a lot of our time searching for stories.

Here's a great piece by Michelle Michael and you'll notice that even though it's compelling as hell, there's no real

'story' here. What there is is a compelling character with a small personal story to tell.

And that's enough.

Michelle shoots it inexactly 'our' way. There are almost no camera moves.

The editing zips right along.

Really nice nat sound.

Personally, I don't like the exterior shots. I think they are unnecessary and detract from the story - you want to stay inside.

But take a look. It's a great piece.

And Michelle is now an nyvs member! Send her  note!

I sit and watch your pieces over and over - amazing work/editing to move the story forward. It is so easy to see why you were chosen by NPPA - hope to meet you at one of their conferences!

Michaelle, you are far too hard on yourself!

Thanks djgregallen! I fully agree that this story didn't affect anybody's heart, mind, or wallet. One of my mentors told me that. I think I needed to dig further for a story in there. It was fun, nonetheless.
