On May 10th, 2004, Michael Ammar began his X-elent Series Lecture tour. It consisted of 8 lectures in 9 days time. I decided to travel with Michael, and at the last minute, grabbed my Canon Optura 100MC digital camera. When the tour was over and I looked at the RAW footage, I basically managed to capture moments of Michael Ammar which show him in a way never seen before on camera. Remember, this was not planned or scripted in any way, and what you see is what really happened.
Please join me On Tour: with Mike Ammar.
Director's Area
"After shooting all the RAW footage in 9 days with Michael, I came home, where I edited this for several months (off and on). Filming, editing, and polishing On Tour truly made me understand that anyone can make a DVD, but very few in this magic industry can make a decent documentary."
"While making this documentary was a real fun time, the work was grueling. Most people don't understand the amount of time, money, and commitment it takes to show up to give a lecture, let alone go on tour. The scariest part is there are NEVER any guarantees people will attend.
