Title: Chapter 1: Swaying
In response to your ANs, the crew would probably be shooting on digital. You don't have to reload all the time and it's much cheaper. It's way more cost/time effective. In case you were wondering, which ;) you probably weren't. I really like the idea that Jim knows how Pam looks when she dances without her knowledge. It explains her surprised/pleased look at Phyllis' Wedding so well. (Huh? How does he know that? He thinks I'm cute? Aw!)
I really enjoyed this. Go meddling film crew!
Author's Response: I wasn't sure about the film/video question because I wasn't sure what look the (fictional) director of the mockumentary would be going for. I decided on digital video because a) I have shot on that format myself and know it, b) it is, as you say, more cost effective and the mockumentary crew HAS to be low-budget, and c) it makes the whole DVD thing feasible because handing Jim a cannister of 35 MM film would really slow down the story. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed this, Paper Jam. I love the idea of the meddling film crew that, like us, Just. Can't. Take. This. Any. More.
