The Least of My Brothers

This is a documentary I spent 5 years researching and producing!

This was my whole life the entire time.

It is the story of the desegregation of Vidor , Texas and the homicide investigation of the first African American to move there.

I didn’t find the answers I thought I was going to find. But I did find a fascinating story.

I shot it on BetaCam SP and edited on the Avid Media Composer and some photoshop and after effects. I finished it in 1999.  I then re cut it using Final Cut Pro and some new footage shot on a Sony VX2100 DV Camera.

I shot this on BetaCam SP with some shots from a VHS camera.  I combined the footage I shot with newsreel footage from KFDM.  I edited everything on the AVID Media Composer 1000 between 1997 and 1999.

A few years later I re edited it to make it shorter and hopefully tighter. I used Final Cut Pro 7 and some After Effects/ Photoshop work.  I also shot some new “B-Roll” of Vidor on a Sony VX2100 mini DV camera.

Version 01:

Modeled in Cinema 4D, textured in Photoshop and desaturated in After Effects.

Version 02. New version, different lighting, added shake and removed the film scratches :

Version 3. The Same as Version 2 but I added “Old film scratches”

This was, of course, inspired by:

John Lennons OTHER stalker?

Leave a reply

We all know John Lennons life was cut short by an obsessed fan. A kook disappointed that Lennon was just a man and not the perfect messiah that he (the kook) imagined him to be.

In the documentary  “Imagine: John Lennon” (1988) we see some footage of a fan who had camped out at Lennons house. He wanted to talk to Lennon about his songs and if they were written about HIM. John said the song in question was actually written by Paul McCartney and that he was reading too much into the lyrics. Then Lennon invited the fellow in for breakfast.

How nice of him. Most other celebrities would call the cops or have their private security chase them off. Part of me wonders if Lennon would have acted that nicely if there wasn’t a film crew there.

I just read an internet rumor that some people think that THAT fellow who snuck onto Lennons estate can also been seen in the audience when John and Yoke were guests on the Dick Cavett show.

They look a little bit alike. Mainly the hair. But the guy in the Cavett audience has a thick New Yawwwk accent and a thinner face than the guy at Lennons house. And the house stalker doesn’t sound like he’s from New York.

same guy?
