Episode 103: A Famous Dolly (Not Named Parton)

Prompts: Initialism, Dolly, 7791, #60450e

Surprise! Neal isn't solo this week, but LT is still on the move. Joining Neal for the Curated by Chance train is his friend and fellow filmmaker, Kevin Kirchman.

Together Neal and Kevin talk about one of their underseen projects, an innovative branded webseries called #WhoKilledHeather that weaves a feature-length film into 36 episodes of a web series shot over 5 days! They encourage CBC listeners to check it out, especially if you like crime stories and can get behind the story being told from the perspective of a dorm room camera.

Neal kicks off the proceedings by covering industry initialisms (think SAG, DGA, PGA, etc.) and briefly explains what each of them means. Then he goes full film nerd on the term Dolly and the different types of dolly shots. Neal teaches listeners about two distinct dolly shots: The Spike Lee Double Dolly and the Dolly Zoom a.k.a. The Vertigo Shot, The Zolly, The Hicthcock Shot, and too many other nicknames to count.

Both friends get into the weeds with the filmmaking terms that when Kevin reveals he got the coveted JACKPOT, the pair decide to save it for next week. Also, Neal, as he's typing these show notes, AGAIN, completely forgets to reveal the surprise he promised two episodes ago, but he will reveal it next week. This time he triple promises! No more waiting!
