Behind the Scenes of 'Beyond Other'
Submitted by andrew.smith on Wed, 07/29/2009 - 20:24.After making the mixed-race timeline, my next project was filming and editing in-depth interviews with people who are multiracial. These interviews, which were modeled off of the washingtonpost.com’s OnBeing feature, were my main focus for the summer.
I was excited for this project because it let me do what I enjoy most: shooting and editing. These interviews tested my skills as an editor because I had to craft cohesive stories out these people’s own words. I couldn’t use my own narration or additional interviews to fill in gaps; I had to piece together some sort of a narrative based only off of what the subjects said.
