Its all in the Background

MAJOR STEP ALERT: I have decided to use a black background for my interviews conducted at the television studio. Why black you ask? For drama. I've watched numerous documentaries, or even documentary related material before I finally decided on the background. I was watching a documentary the other day, and it finally caught my eye. I have seen pretty much every color imaginable as background's along with settings, but the black was the most dramatic for a few reasons.

One reason that black is the right choice for me is because it solves my dramatic look problem I have been suffering from. As stated previously, I have been in search for a background that would give my documentary that intense touch to it. Black is the right choice because, as I have noticed, it makes the person being interviewed stand out. Blues can sometimes blend the interviewee in with the background and other colors, like green, can take the main focus away from the person being interviewed. Black is the absence of color, and it is exactly what I needed. Now this isn't intended to be a tear jerking documentary, but maybe a first person feeling would be nice. This is going to be intended for people related to Titan Crew so when they watch it, I want them to feel like they are back there, in their golden hay day with their old crew, horsin' around and remembering the fond memories of one another, Chuck and the Truck. With this background, it will help to give it that feel.

At this point, it's back to the grind. Trying to pull up some gumption to get this thing rollin.  Good ideas and execution seems more difficult than it should, but with every thing that I finish, I begin to feel a bit better about how this is going to come together.
