This one is a bit painful for me to post, but in the interest of documenting my film-making process, I’m posting this rough cut of an idea I had back in 2005. “Anti-Diplomat from the Future” was originally an entry in 2005 StockStock film festival. However, what started off as a sort of hybrid essay about the completely hostile appointment of John Bolton as our interim U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, morphed into an "animatic" for a new direction that I've been wanting to move toward in regards to working with archival footage.
In the two years since putting together this rough cut, the idea just hasn’t gone away, though (thankfully) John Bolton has! So after viewing this, if you have any suggestions, ideas, or just general criticisms about this piece, I’m open to all comments.
In the next week, I’ll post some screen grabs from the some of the more recent sequences I’ve reworked.
