The
next step was to add incidental footage. From the beginning, I knew
that merely watching the subject tell his story would get boring fast
for some viewers. Instead, I wanted to intersperse it with footage
that contributed, or showed what he was talking about. Sometimes I
used the footage that I shot with him, other times I used footage
that I already had from elsewhere, and other times I was able to use
archive footage that Ramon provided. In a few instances I resorted to
using common license photographs of places. The important part for me
here was to credit the photographer, or the owner of the photograph.
(Besides Ramon's person archive, I didn't use film or video from
anywhere else; I only used my own movie footage.)
(The mistake, of
course, that I made was that I didn't exactly follow this order that
I'm laying out here. Instead, I added incidental footage to the film
during step four, when I was still working on the thematic mini
movies. This was a problem because sometimes the timing of the
incidental footage was mistaken, so I would either have to re-render
the thematic movie, after fixing the timing, or I just reapplied the
incidental footage at this stage. That means that I did double work
several times over the course of this project.)
