Chess Match
« on: February 11, 2012, 05:29:58 PM »
The idea was to take something dreadfully boring (a chess game) and edit it into something that would hold the viewer's interest (At least for a minute).
Therefore, it's intentionally a little bit over-the-top.

Great sound track.

Pathetically, if I'm not on my toes, my 8 yr old can play me to a draw.  I suck, though.   ;D

Milk...?  Hmm.  That would have added a bit more over-the-top-ness to it.  :)

I was simply looking for a project that was easy to set up and could be shot without too much fuss.
It sometimes requires super human patience when your "actors" are 8 and 6.   ;)

Well I always enjoy seeing your projects with your boys.  And I think they will ALWAYS remember what fun it was acting for Dad!
