Documentary Movies & Series

The guys are sitting quietly at a restaurant when Hammond pops up and says "I had a thought!" and the other two said something like "Thats very uncharacteristic"

Hi all!

I just binge watched the whole 3 seasons and for the first time I fell in love with the show that I watch, now I have a post-series depression and want to visit the farm shop and taste the delicious burgers.

If I plan a trip to the UK, in which city would you suggest to fly in, rent a car and perhaps where to stay?

Any suggestions would be helpful since I have not been in the UK for more than 10 years.

Thank you a lot!

Just been listening to the song from the S3 Finale, Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves by Cher.

Absolutely perfect choice of song, and the chorus sums up Clarkson’s relationship with the council. Can’t believe I didn’t realise it at first.

“Gypsies, tramps, and thieves We'd hear it from the people of the town They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves But every night all the men would come around And lay their money down”

Anyone got any thoughts on it?

I am so confused about this. I mean, if JJM was able to fraud those clinics terms and conditions, shouldn't these clinics be sued or something?? What this man is doing could put an entire city or country in a dangerous situation in just a few years from now, and yet I don't see anyone or any institution being accounted for this.

Also, is there some kind of legal document that you must sign to have a sperm donor, which would differentiate/stop the donor from being eventually registered as a father? What would legally stop this man from being registered as the father upon his child's will? I don't know how it works in Europe, but in Brazil, if the donation happens in such "irregular" way, nothing would stop the child from eventually going to court to recognize the donor as their father and demand child support from him, if they wished so. Why hasn't this happened here???

Curious if the site that had all of the episode's cue sheets is now offline. Couldn't find it on Google and when I tried using a link from my history, it couldn't find the site. Yet the departuresentertainment domain still exists.

I could listen to Bob Durst and Stewart Altman reading the TV Guide and taking massive dumps, ALL DAY!

I will be filming a short ethnographic film/documentary in 2026 for research purposes. The project will take place over the course of 9 months. The goal is to end up with a 20-30 minute film that consists predominantly of interviews. While I have experience filming, I've always used my university's (limited) equipment. This is the first time I actually need to provide my own and I am honestly at a loss. Here's some info about my needs:

• I will be in a rural area southern Africa, so it's important to have a camera that can handle intense weather conditions. I won't be throwing it in any lakes, but there will be high heat, dust, etc.

• For similar reasons, versatility matters. I will be filming outside in conversation areas, inside people's homes, in offices with atrocious overhead lighting, at night and day, etc.

• The set up should be on the lighter as I will be trekking around. From an ethnographic perspective, it's also best for things to be compact. I don't want people feeling as if there's a huge fancy/scary camera staring them down.

• Although quality is important, the final product isn't going to be shown at film festivals or anything. The goal is to screen it locally in the communities I film for the purpose of exchange/discussion. Editing, etc. will be rough around the edges anyways, so I don't need the best image quality.

• While I'm willing to invest some money in this, keeping things within-budget is important (grants only go so far). My max budget is around 1500 EUR. If that's unrealistic, I can perhaps move things around.

With this in mind, what would you all recommend to me? I appreciate any all guidance as someone who is currently in over their head!

I've been planning to film a documentary for a while now but haven't pulled the trigger. It's a climbing documentary, about a small group of people coming together to keep the sport alive. It's a passion project that I want to bring to life. I think 2025 is the year for it. I want to do interviews, panoramic scenes, and some actions shots.

I don't have experience with documentaries but I did work as a videographer a few years ago. Back when the Panasonic GH3 was around. I have some basic knowledge of video production but I'm out of the loop technically speaking.

What would you recommend as far as equipment goes? My budget would be around 6k for gear.

Also, any advice on production relating to documentaries would be great.

Thanks

I've just watched episode 11. Towards the end of the episode a montage of technology shows some rather surprisingly modern (for 1980) technology, and even "Netscape" being used (released in 1994 I believe).Was this inserted later (for the DVD set?), and why?

Thanks in advance.
