As I dream without much hope of actualizing the dream to head to Rimini, Italy for Paganello this year I have been flooded with stories and articles about others who are going or who have gone in the past.

completing the documentary... now

I am in the initial phase of the final stage of completing this project.
However, I recently reached the City of Rimini on Twitter @visit_rimini or at http://www.visit-rimini.com/. They have some video on their website from a few years ago!

I am hopeful that we might work together to collaborate on the Paganello Documentary as the original vision was to cover three main subjects: The Tournament (which is centered around the city), the Team and the Sport.

Perhaps with their support this project could target a full length documentary that would include historical footage as well as a stronger focus on the culture of the hosting city, Rimini!!

Here is a tease of the work we have done in 7 minutes: http://current.com/items/89383560_frisbee_kings. Please keep in mind I did not do this original edit, and Current.com made further edits to make it more palatable to their viewers. My documentary will have a different feel to it as it is a cultural documentary about a sport.. not strictly a sports doc.

Ciao!! follow me on twitter @bmccall17

new camera... new movie... its raw, but of True.. how can you not love it?!

new links to paga... the tournament and the fish!!

here is one from rec.sport.disc (commonly used newsgroup for the sport of Ultimate!

and if you are ever curious about what the fish Paganello (aka Bronze Bream) looks like... or how it is cooked... find out here

organization... and some good footage

got through the 27 hours of the main footage review. organized this down to bins and sequences.. next is the full on scrub.
will start with the interviews (9 of them)
At this point I will probably stop and collect the stories, organize them into an storyline and determine what game footage, broll and music materials to use to give the story some visual and auditory appeal.

soon, i will have some teasers to release to the public.

ciao.
bam

organizing now... then to scrubbing

another 6 hours into organizing the raw clips into masters so I can scrub them for the best parts. the games are long and there are some excellent scenes. the scrubbing process requires that i sit down and watch every second from BOTH cameras. while watching i will pick out the best parts and file them away to develop the sequences, this is called scrubbing (I think).

anyway, I am through Friday of the tournament... that is the first day of play. and started on Saturday, day 2 but didnt get very far... its time to sleep and get back to the rest of my life.

i am calling in for auxiliary support from the team. music, broadcasting and project management are among the top priorities for the support. with the help from the teammates i can focus on the video while much of the outside work is still getting done! no way i will finish this by november without their support!!

Props to Lisa and Marc for a TERRIFIC job on the shoot. the footage is so fun to work with... most of the time I want to keep all the footage!!

my favorite parts so far are the interviews!!! I love hearing people tell these stories on camera.

good night eWorld
bam

on the horse.. and RUNNING!!

I have video that I am pumping out.. FINALLY.
There is some good stuff here.

Ill have a few teaser clips soon.

Also, Marq and Lisa released their short to a web broadcast station Current TV. There will be something to see there soon as well.

back to work!!!

kick start on the documentary

I am about to purchase the machine to start the edit on the documentary. I am hoping that the distance from the project will lend me a new eye to be able to see clearly the direction that I will take this project.

There is a long road ahead, starting with sitting down to watch a full 18 hours of footage!!

Thanks for reading.
Brett

end of the road... back to munich

we finished strong with a 16-10 victory over Huck and Sea from England. we played relaxed and confident (and less hung over than our opponents).

the great news about this game was we were able to wear shorts and play in the sun. by 3pm when the open finals started it was gusty, rainy and bitter cold! SeXXXpensive lost to Scandal from Chicago. everything was filmed by the pros that work this event every year, and the coverage is typically good. so, i look forward to actually watching the game in the future.

we are wrapping things up with the final interviews and Marq and Lisa are capturing the tapes in digital format. now, the work begins!! everything till now has been preparing the canvas, the paints, the palette, and the scene... and Lisa reminded me that post-production requires loads more work and even bigger requests from the personal contacts we have established.

on a final note in Rimini: i will miss this place, though i am confident that a return is imminent. who knows, but i imagine Diana and the children will be brought along.

enough for now, one more opportunity for bio gelato!!

ciao ciao
bam

roller coaster

recently i was referred (by one of my teammates) as the most eloquent dirty old man, all i have at this moment is dirty old and man.
anyway, this has been a ride ups and downs. unfortunately, we ended on the down.

this morning we crushed CotaRica, the Rimini local team! in 2005, we witnessed (along with 3000 others) them winning the finals against Collard Greens (from Atlanta). anyway, we handled them well at 11-5.

then we saw Stinks from Sweden. they were seeded 2 in this tournament, we were 1. this was the quarter final game and we succeeded in displacing them. near the end of the game the rain came and cold was brought with it.

two hours later we started the semifinal game against SeXXXpensive, my good friends from all around Europe! they opened with a break and continued to hold the game all the way to 5-9 to win for the finals. so we are playing for 3rd place. and i am heartbroken.

now, we will walk from paga forever without the second umbrella. but we are certain to leave our mark... for tonight is the party of parties... and NoTsuOh brings a party!!!

ciao for now

pagareport :: 03/22/08

day 2
good news: the weather is treating us right!!
other news: we lost our first game to Scadour. these guys are our close friends, players who have invited us to help train them in the sport and who have improved significantly! they stormed the field ready for the kill... but struggled with mistakes until 6-3 (our advantage and the time cap sounded). they returned with 4 straight points to win the game! ouch, that stung. what do experienced players do when they get socked in the guy? they bow up and retaliated!!
the next f games we crushed teams that we should be crushing.
game 6 we repeated our mistake of letting a team back in the game after we took a strong lead. as i tell the warren wilson team, COMPLACENCY IS A KILLER. many of us partied late (i didnt make it home till 4am, thats another story... feel free to ask me about it). so, i know for me, i was not in a good mental state, nor physical state.
tomorrow morning we play the Italian Champions Cota Rica!! we MUST win this game, or we are out of the running for the cup. i expect the sting of the two losses will amount to a strong show, but cota will bring everything they have to the pitch as well... it should be a powerful match

documentary: Lisa and Marq are rocking with the documentary!! they have had two cameras on our games and have positioned interviews with key people at the tournament as well as on our team. i have not had the time to review any of the footage, but things are moving forward in a very positive direction. the team is behind the project and supportive of each aspect. i expect the final product will exceed our expectations!

to answer the requests for PREORDERS: i am working on creating a cart where you will be able to submit a donation to support the project. we are asking for a minimum of $25, which will include an exclusive DVD in addition to the complete documentary (when we are complete with production) as well as a NoTsuOh gift (while supplies last).
please send me an email (brettmccall at gmail dot com) and let me know you are interested in making a donation... I will make sure you know when we have the portal set up!

in Munich AGAIN

finally arrived in munich..

I created a group so you could be updated about the documentary. Here is the link to sign up for more information. Checking the blog is best for updates on the tournament.

Lisa and Marq arrived and are asleep now.
We will depart for Lestans to meet with John the builder of three (3) Deltec Homes here in Italy!!

thats it.

p.s. if you want to leave me a vmail, you can at 828.275.6407. I will get the messages as an mp3 and I can play these anywhere I can get an internet signal. thanks to www.grandcentral.com

is New Orleans on the way to Rimini?

In one week I will be in New Orleans working with Ty and the ABC crew to build a couple of buildings for a wonderfully deserving family and community!!
Shortly after I return to Western North Carolina I will depart for Munich enroute to Rimini!! The Muncheners, Harry and Rue, are out in full swing with the support of lodging and transport.

In Munich I will pick up Lisa Thompson, the producer/director of the documentary. I am thrilled to work with Lisa, she has produced some really fun work, and I am confident that her style is going to capture the right EMOTION and CONNECTION that good material deserves!!

Time is moving at lightning speed and the logistics are coming together wonderfully.

Soon, we will capture and edit some of the work from last year, as well as the interviews that are rolling in from players this year. Look for a teaser to come out by March 17!!

check out the SWEET video I found from last year!!!
It is way tripped out. enjoy bam
