Here we see the parking lot stripers are at it again
Synopsis
The story of this archive
is more of a 2-year saga. Around the time of James Bone (Fall 1998),
Jackson and Kurt, upon seeing that the parking lot of the Methodist Church
has been recently blacktopped, decided to do an archive that would convey
the emotion and hard work that the parking lot stripers put in to the jobs
that they performed. Little did they know; the jobs that these men
performed, was an even more profound task.
"It is more than just another
archive or documentary." explained Jackson, "It is an emotional roller
coaster that you will be entirely wrapped into when you view it."
The archive consists of
on site video of the work in progress, as well as rare interviews of the
parking lot workers on the job. It truly is a sight to behold.
"I remember times during
filming that we became as captivated with the painters jobs as they were."
Kurt explained. "There was one time when we were all in stunned silence
when it appeared that the blue paint would run out before the the handicapped
spots were striped off. I am still having nightmares."
This is one of the last
archives that is remnant of the old analog days. It was filmed in
fall of 1998, not long before the digital camcorder came around.
The raw footage had been laying around for a year and a half, until spring
break of 2000, when time was found to finish it up. The ideas for
the final product were mostly realized when it was filmed, but it wasn't
until the time that post production actually commenced that the ideas could
be implemented.
The final product is an
exciting achievement that is a joy to watch.
Official release date: March 14, 2000
