| Interview with D.A. Pennebaker |  |
Q: Tell us a little about the process involved in making this work.
A: I didn't know much about film editing or, in fact, about shooting, so I bought a couple of rolls of Kodachrome at the drugstore, and figured that since the record was about three minutes long, by shooting carefully I could fit the whole thing onto one roll of film. Of course that didn't work, since I couldn't start and stop my hand-wound camera that easily, so I ended up shooting both rolls and even a few more before I was through. It took about three days to film and then sat in a closet for several years until I figured out how to edit it and make a print that I could show on a projector.
