Motion Pictures The Kustom Photography of George Barris....

Well I have been working on this DVD for some time now and i'm deep into the editing part
of it... but I wanted to cut a quick trailer to add some life to it...

So far the movie is a journey through 1000's of pictures that george shot for the mags and his own use..these are all mounted on a 14 x 17 sheet all hand cut out by Shirley Barris
and taped on to the sheet.. She was a trooper!!
So Brett approached me a while back and asked if I wanted to team up and put out a DVD
so I started going though all the pix and was overwhelmed with all the fantastic pix.. but how
do you make this into a move?? So I built a rig that allows me to mount my camera and
move it forward and back and i'm able to move the sheet left and right... So once I shot that we needed Content So Ana Marco (from that mag) set us up with Larry Watson.. so we had him come to Barris and the two sat and went through all the pix and told stories about a bunch of them..(can be a DVD on its own) After that we got a hold of Brad Masterson who is renting the space next to George's shop on Atlantic and has it set up
with a bunch of old Barris Memorabilia and Pix.. George shows us around the shop then
we hops into Brads Chopped Chevy and we hit some of the locations the pix were shot at..
After that we meet up with Greg Sharp from the NHRA museum and he gives us even more detail on George the photographer...Along with pictures the are in the movie the DVD will have a slide show feature that will have pix in sections Kustoms, Hot Rod, Bikes etc..that you will be a to hit play and just check out the pictures.. on-top of that the whole thing is Scored Live by the Dynotones...

Coming in September (date to be announced)

She only narrated the intro..

When your an indie company you use what you have close to you..

I think she did just fine

I love how the old cars were usually shot at high noon....

 

Do we have to wait till September?

Ahhhh man. So, is Larry Watson and such adding their narration's throughout this video?

Ken

not much narration...more like interviews with allot of pictures over them...its going to RULE don't worry about it have I ever let you down hahahaha

 

The way the narraration is done rules. I love how the pics show what she says in perfect timing!

Pretty cool stuff.
I never know the Roth 'Outlaw'(?) had a top!
Never saw that one before.

 

Cool. Looking forward to that. When I was a youngin there was a book by George in the Main Library in town. I always made it a point to check that one out when I was there. Must have been published in the early to mid 60's. Anyone know that book?

 

Yeah I remember it at my town library. It had the El Capitola in it , right?

 

Can't wait! I've been waiting on this one since you teased us with the Barris and Watson interview...

 

Yeah. B & W. Had a pic of George taking a pic of one of his cars with a Rollieflex camera in the first pages.

 

I just finished the Watson part with him and george talking about watson cars...now i'm editing them two talking about all the other cars... haha those two need a TV show....
