The Pitch

Idea outline:

Research Tasks:

•  Find out if we can interview the subject (I have already done this, and he is happy to have the documentary done, and talk about his work)
• Find out what days and time they're available to be interviewed
•  Discus what equipment is needed, and where we can get it from 
• Do test shots with the camera (handheld, shoulder mount, tripod etc…) and test out the boom mic
• Ask if  the subject has any archive footage of themselves when they were younger (to do with their work)

The working title will be: 

Behind the doors of Wesley West
OR
Wesley West - The Inside Story

Long line:

A documentary about a local inventor and advertiser, and an insight into his life and eccentric creations. 

Synopsis 

The documentary will be an insight into a man named Wesley West's life. He is a local inventor and advertiser living in Cambridge, and produces lots of eccentric work, from double decker caravans with balcony's to metal sculptures of animals and objects. We would interview him in his home filled with his art, and follow him through his garden of sculptures into his workshop, where the magic happens.
