Week 3 - Elevator Pitch - Mellow the Zebra

For week 3 of the Documentary video we had to prepare our own ideas for the final project and pitch them in front of the whole class.

I decided that I would like to make the documentary on Mellow the Zebra, it is a guy that plays piano dressed as a Zebra. Basically a special busker. It firstly got my attention on the street, then I searched for him on the internet and I can't believe what a nice guy he is.


He has such a nice story behind what he does and a good reason. It turns out that he started busking firstly to save for his wedding, then for the honeymoon and now he is playing for a baby. He is amazing. I found his blog and I think that the way he writes and thinks is a lot like me. It would be amazing to do our Documentary on him because I feel a lot like him.

Reading his blog I felt like I know him, it gave me such a strange feeling like I recognise myself. I always believed the story about the 12 souls that were at first and then more people came from those 12 that were divided thru infinity. It is said that we recognise in people the souls that are fragments from the same big soul as ours. I never really believed in this for true until now. It really makes sense. How else can someone that you just found about make you feel so complete, not in a romantic way but still. It's strange.

So this is my idea for the Documentary and I really hope it gets thru. It would be a personal documentary and I could really make people believe in themselves if we could do a documentary about a Zebra playing piano for its wedding.


This Zebra made me believe more in this world, like we are really good people out there willing to make a change for the better here.
