And, Mark, you know you’re a filmmaker when you laugh out loud at that comment. Indeed, I’m starting to edit a feature length doc in January and will be changing to a different NLE platform. Just not sure what. A different discussion for a different thread…

Mark,

You make good points. That’s why I sometimes download programs like American Experience and listen to them on my Ipod as MP3’s precisely cause the audio and visual practically mimc each other (this isn’t a put down of the program. I love it).

For my purposes, I’m making a documentary about a subject who isn’t well known in America. I need to have some expository information which I just can’t do through images so I need to put some text or narration in it. But the point is a very good one, to use them judiciously as compliments to each other and not copies of each other.

Thanks for all the help on this list serv. I love it!

The problem is that’s for FCPX. I’m running FCP7.

Mark, thanks for the comment.

I think I wasn’t entirely clear. The interview itself is great and I’m optimistic about the project. I just want a way to make the interview shots more interesting. That’s why I’m going black and white. I don’t want to make very stylized i.e. animation. I want to make it black and white. I just wonder if there are any other effects that might add subtle texture to a black and white shot. thoughts?

thanks for all the comments. This thread has been great.

So here are four screen grabs for my project. Two in color and two totally desaturated with Color Correction 3-Way. You can see the subject has a dark beard.

The thinking for black and white is just that the actually image is so bland, and making it black and white is a way to try and make the interview more interesting. The film has lots of color photos and b-roll so it will contrast.

Any thoughts on how to stylize this?

Even if it seems to play well in the timeline? (Thanks for the quick response!)
