Prior to the concert, a prep talk with the DIY camera holders quotes the aphorism of the documentary, "Do what you want with the camera, just press the magical red button then you can say awesome; I f***** shot that!"
The spontaneity of the coverage depicts the essence of the gig; a collage of the intensity of the fans. With the shooters squandering to their allocated seating, their tiers of footage is captured. Throughout the documentary there is a montage of handheld scenes focusing on the Beastie Boys, DJ Mix Master Mike operating the deck, one joker taking a tinker in the loo to a millisecond snippet of actor Ben Stiller reciting the BB's lyrics. Remarks can also be heard by the camera bearers one adding, 'Everyone get real excited-you can get on the DVD' to the imploring of backstage access.
Although
the Beasties are no longer boys, but in their high-end 30's, it still does
not counteract their true feat of old skool anthologies and musical craftsmanship.
Tracks such as 'Brass Monkey', Ch-Check It Out, Intergalactic, Gratitude and
Sabotage still manage to charge the throng. The Boys are also joined by Doug
E. Fresh, "the world's greatest entertainer," who human beat-box's
to their lyrics.
The density of the documentary is a result of collective perceptions portraying
the disparity of fans-a definite realism to the attitudes and cast of fans:
some may dance in the aisles, sing- a-long or remain stagnant-all is documented.
The immediacy of Awesome; I
Shot That!
Confirms the intimacy between the crowd and the artists- a pragmatic extract
of what a concert actually looks like from an audience stand.
Awesome; I
Shot That! Is a unique concept disposed by Yauch a.k.a Nathaniel
Hornblower. The visual creativity is polished up by various styles and effects
summoned.
