All this will be shown while I will be giving dialogue in a voice over giving a brief history of the diesease and its side effects. I think this will set a good tone for things to come.
Hey Doetsch, I am in no way a writer/filmmaker/artistic being, but you will include lots of people who are leading perfectly normal, wonderful lives without diabetic complications too, right? I understand you want to grab viewers at the very beginning, but I might be worried that seeing complications as the very first thing might lend viewers to focus on that and only that, rather than the fact that we can and do lead normal, complication-free lives. Just a thought - depends what message you want (One of my pet peeves revolves around people's ideas that diabetics aren't normal or healthy and will develop complications no matter what). Good luck though, it's a great idea!
