But I do think that the depth of stories does justify those extra minutes, and I may be biased, but every time I watch through the entire doc, I feel so disappointed that it’s ending so soon.
The Spine of Fury 325’s First Drop ©Devin Olson MediaĬ101: Tell us how the process evolved compared to your original timeline/plan?ĭO: Well, for one thing, I never thought production would continue well into June, but it became apparent in March that there would be no way to wrap it up then there was just too much riding on compelling visuals to accompany the even more compelling stories, and the original plan for a 15-minute documentary eventually transformed into a roughly half-hour piece when I started editing and realized that, even with all the possible fat trimmed out of the story line, we were still looking at well over twenty minutes not counting breathing room. Telling their stories is really what makes me tick. No longer is the documentary mainly about the attraction itself, but it’s about the people behind it - and when you get to know the creators better, you naturally get to know their creation along the way.

With each past documentary, I felt like we got a little closer to my subconscious goals for this series each time, but for the first time ever, I feel like we nailed it this time around. And if I felt like I knew them, then the only way viewers of the documentary wouldn’t get the same sense would be if we completely butchered post-production somehow. Granted, we still had a few more months of production left until we wrapped on June 10th, and more goals to accomplish, but I really felt like I knew the five people we based the story around on March 25th. I definitely knew we had the first of those main goals on March 25th when we wrapped up the final interviews for FDTS: Fury 325.
C101: You told us in our last interview that your goal for the Fury 325 Documentary was to have the viewer think “I really feel like I know the people behind the ride.” Do you feel that you accomplished that?ĭO: Whenever you set out on a new project, there’s this certain threshold you reach during production where you feel like you’ve accomplished the main goals.
