Special Episode: Sarah & Kyle- Legends Behind Legends Series
Season One Episode Six
*Please note that there was a technical problem with the microphones towards the end of this interview. You will notice a change in audio quality.*
You may have heard Kyle pop up in various Legends Series episodes so far. Kyle is a Tokyo based videographer, who has worked on projects like Queer Eye Japan and with Sarah has skillfully created the legends series you have seen on YouTube.
Today Kyle is on the other side of the camera with Sarah.
This is a glimpse behind the curtain of the way videos are put together and the thinking and evolution of the Legends Series. It’s a way for us to process and talk about the fantastic people we were delighted to work with and interview and just what we took away and what it means to us. Not only that, but the process, on the back end of how we put all this stuff together. It maps to real life, it really does.
In this episode you will hear:
- Kyle's philosophy on editing and shaping projects
- How Sarah and the other legends kept going despite what was happening in their lives
- Kyle's feeling about being on the other side of the camera
- Perfection and Imperfection and it's happening in this episode!
- The margin for magic/fortune/things you can't account for
- Mindful agency
About Kyle:
Born in America and raised around the world, Kyle McCloskey has spent his life using film as a means for powerful and intimate storytelling, whether fictional or documentary. While attending Haverford College for his undergraduate degree, he wrote and directed an H.P. Lovecraft-inspired silent horror film that was accepted to international film festivals, garnering him his first IMDb credit.
In the time since, he has worked primarily as a bilingual Tokyo-based videographer, editor, and digital imaging technician/data loader. His work has ranged from big budget Hollywood films to PR videos for small businesses and entrepreneurial individuals looking to make their mark in Japan. He has coached Japanese documentary directors for English language fundraising pitches, written grants for international producers, edited short films and music videos, sourced archival photos and video, and even directed and shot the pilot episode of an NHK World documentary series.
