Tookie

2005

The life and times of Tookie Williams, as portrayed by the media. This short film for NSCAD University, a media driven short film, using only found footage and images.

I did not have the option to choose the subject matter, it was chosen randomly by draw in my class.

This short film is based entirely on research that I did while looking around for images. Using what resources I could at NSCAD University, their print and video archives, and largely utilizing public domain clips and telephone interviews downloadable from the internet.

By using all found footage, it forces the editor to be creative with the continuity of image and sound.
