Need opinions please..

Post by MrA »

It is Mardi Gras here in New Olreans, a tradition that dates back a couple hundred years.

As it _just started_, it actually lasts two weeks before the actuall "big finally" Mardi Gras Day.

I am shooting pics and video for the next two weeks of events here.

I want to know, what is your perception of this event?

I want to know what do you actually know about this event?

What are the rumors about this event that you have heard?

The reason for the questions, is, there is a "global" perception of what goes on here, and I want to document WHAT really goes on here.

The shoot will last the next two weeks, the post production may take 3 or 4 months.

Thnaks..

Yes, I know what you are talking about, a movie produced some 15 - 20 years ago. THAT is exaclty what I am looking for, perception.

I don't really have any first hand experience/knowledge with the event.

So, without doing any real research on what really happens, my thoughts are a "party" atmosphere, with folks handing out necklace beads for a quick "flash" from women. A little "worse" than the spring break college crowd...

But I could be all wrong, and I would be very interested in learning more about the event from your documentary...

Regards,
George
