What's this video going to look like when it's done?
I look at this old John Lennon footage, like the sit-in in '68, and there's very much a pseudo-documentary quality to that stuff, like handheld 16mm film. So we're doing the video in black and white, and I'm trying to keep the spirit of John Lennon in the footage. I think it's got the feeling of something that could have been made in the late '60s, early '70s -- you know, when people gave a s--- about changing the world. And that I really mean.
