Tiki Central Documentary - General Tiki

It was still interesting. It was chronological. But, went back and forth in time when a new interviewee was introduced. The interviewee would inevitably talk about something that predates his/her history. (see Don Ho below) But, would jump to his/her relevance in history. For example: I am new to tiki since a week before Oasis 6. I have a friend that discussed having a tiki bar a year or two ago. I asked my wife if we should change up the house in April. I said, "how about tiki?" She said "GREAT!" BAM!!10K in the hole. Two patios, one with a bar. I didn't realize how easy it is to buy so much booze! Turns out I have three Don Ho albums. In my interview I would say that my parents were into a tropical way of life or Polynesian or beechy. I was really ready to be birthed deep in the tropis of Mexico. Always lived at the beach. Dad even has a Hawaiian ex-wife and I have two half sisters. It'll be kinda tough to knock down interviews into small enough segments that don't seem too repetitive. The docs on the history channel are VERY chronological. Other docs are more about the people and their experiences. When more than one person talks about the same thing try to keep that portion of DISCUSSION together. ie: If Bongo Fury, Kick the Reverb and OnaTiki mention Martini Kings then keep that in the same segment about the current music scene. All three may just need to speek for 15 or 30 seconds each. That seems TOO small talking about it here and now but, on film it is forever. Have fun. http://static.flickr.com/51/144610435_e1c3b0da08_m.jpg [ Edited by: Mr. NoNaMe 2006-07-31 19:58 ]
