Don’t get us wrong, we appreciate tasty eye candy like Avatar. But
documentaries tend to be the films that really amaze us. The impact of
the right story told by an artist compelled to share it tends to stay
alive in our hearts and heads long after we’ve forgotten whatever passed
for a plot in the big blockbuster productions.
And our fondness
for documentaries and independent film makers was deepened this year
when we found out that nine of the ten
Oscar nominated documentaries in both the
"Documentary Feature" and "Documentary Short" categories were made using
Apple’s Final Cut Pro software.
Some of the 2010 documentary
nominees kindly took time out of their busy Oscar weekend to talk to us
about their films and how they made them.
