H.I. No. 4: Feedback on Feedback: Difference between revisions

Brady: Vietnam, and I did make- and I did make videos there, so it is about- it is about filmmaking.

[30:11]

I tell you what, from a filmmaker YouTube perspective, it's really hard to make videos of your dad. I tell you that right now. Why? Because partly because of the way my dad is, but also just because there's a different dynamic. I mean, you know, when I'm interviewing someone or filming something in the video is them but I can take control to an extent and guide them with the questioning and if they've got a certain point they want to make or away they want to tell the story, and I don't think it's going to work. I can either delicately Shepherd them with my questions or I can can be more Frank and slap them around the years and say now Now we need to do it like this. But my dad obviously had, you know, stories he wants to tell him ways he wanted to tell them and they didn't always fit with what I thought would work in a video. And all the different techniques I normally use on on people to get what I want. Just didn't work. It was like

Grey 31:21

he's just he knows you do. Well, he's blowing off all your linguistic tricks.

Brady 31:25

I don't know. I don't know if it was but yeah, I felt like I felt like there was kryptonite in the air. And in terms of my ability to steer the interview either way. I sometimes can. It was an eye It must be because it was my dad because it never happens with anyone else.

Grey 31:43

Yeah, I guess you were not in a position of authority when it is your father on the other end of the camera.

Brady 31:47

Right. I guess that's it. I guess that's it. I mean, I don't feel that he was in authority over me either, though. I mean, I don't have that kind of relationship with my dad. But yeah, there was just something different. There was and I would stop and ask him questions. And he would he wouldn't answer them or debate when he's like that with everyone. He just ignores questions and cracks on with his stories. But maybe that's it, maybe, maybe he didn't feel sufficiently intimidated or respectful of me as the, as the filmmaker was everyone else at least has that modicum of respect for me. Whereas I was still just Brady to him. And he was gonna he had a story he wanted to tell. And, you know, I had stopped the camera a couple of times said Dad, not listening to me. You have to answer this question. It was like interviewing a politician. And they just have when they have what they want to say. But anyway, he is a really good storyteller. He's like, famous for his ripping. Yeah. And so he still told the story well, but it was a really interesting, interesting thing as a filmmaker for me.

Grey 32:47

Well, how are you going to get those videos out? Yeah, long time.

Brady 32:51

It could be a while because I'm actually jumping on another plane now and I'm going away for a month. And I don't know if I'm gonna be able to edit them. The road so it could be a while, but I'd like to do them so

Grey 33:03

well, whenever whenever you get around to them mentioned it again, we'll put them in the description for the podcast. Yeah, yeah. Good today we'll have a description for you or we'll have a link to your dad's book if people want

Brady 33:15

Yeah, yeah, it's it is it is actually a, you know, is a really good book. Actually, I'm, I'm not paying. I mean, his other ones I'm not so much into because they're about other soldiers. But the one about him. I really enjoyed anyway. There we go.

Grey 33:28

So I'll put it in. People can check it out if they want. Cool. Thank you. Thank you.

Brady 33:31
