The Story of Making a Movie

Another one of the areas of storytelling that I don’t really deal with in A Storied Career is storytelling within movies and TV. But Apple’s Set to Screen series of podcasts tells the story of the movie-making process.

The context for the series is Baz Luhrman’s upcoming film *Australia*. (For the record, I *hated* Luhrman’s *Moulin Rouge*, but I’m interested in the history of Oz, so I will likely give him another chance).

Says the Set-to-Screen site:
> Every few weeks through October, a new podcast episode from Baz and his production team will introduce you to another aspect of moviemaking, starting with on-set still photography, then moving on to costume design, cinematography, scoring, and more. You’ll get insights from the artists at work on Australia, watch them in action, view footage the rest of the world hasn’t seen yet, and follow along as the movie comes together.

Some of the podcasts also contain challenges for young filmmakers, who can win prizes for rising to the challenges.
