Part 1 of 3: Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Lloyd Kaufman Talk about Making Movies
This is Part 1 of 3 posts.
While Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park Studio) were shooting Team America, they were interviewed by Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Films for his (Lloyd’s) documentary/instructional film “Make Your Own Damn Movie”.
This is Part 1 in my blog article series for two reasons…
1. It was shot several years before the other videos I will be posting later this week.
2. Their attitude is pretty bleak. They were not having fun with working with marionettes and apparently they got screwed in their contract, and their probably exhausted from the shoot… so they are a bit down in these two videos.
Still, it’s good to be aware of the down side of things. If the folks at the top are being dicked over, how can you carve out the filmmaker lifestyle that you want, and still get paid the money you deserve for all the long hours and work you put in?
Not that they don’t have lots of money. But I’m thinking, “I want creative control (Trey has final cut on all movies he makes) and I want to get paid”. HOW? HOW? HOW?
If you figure it out please let me know.
(BTW, there was a first video to this series on YouTube but nothing really happens in the first one).
