BEING KANAKA by Jon Osorio - Part 1 (Introduction)

This is the Opening & Introduction to a program that I Produced, Directed & Edited of Jon Osorio presenting his interpretation of "What it is to be Hawaiian" through Song & Talk Story. It is one of my first projects that I felt it would become timeless and I put a lot of effort into making sure it was the best that it could be. I know it's got what some people might consider flaws in it here & there, but I feel that they add to its' character. I hope to have the DVD completed soon & am considering entering it in a film festival.

Osorio was fantastic. Jib moves for this shoot was absolute Crap.

Some of the crew were still learning back then, but that's what really added to the show's character. The operator was new to this Jib & still getting the feel for it.
