Lebron James - The Defamation of Character (2013)

Описание: A short film chronicling Lebron James in his quest for his coveted first championship, and the maelstrom of backlash that ensued when he joined the Miami Heat to do it.

The following was written at the time of the upload in 2013:

Foreword:
Well fans, its been a long journey. Though you may have seen the trailer in July of 2012, the project did not get under way until the last week of October of that year, meaning this has taken a year to make. Overall, this was a great learning experience, having never done anything this long. As it is such a long project, I underestimated several times the due date of this project, to which I do apologize dearly to my fans who have so patiently waited for this to release. Basically doing this as a single person and not having a team definitely didn't make it any easier, but I liked it better that way for this project. I gained so much from it.

Inspiration of the story:
On the story itself, it definitely was something that came to mind immediately following the decision. I just felt that it was wrong how much of America turned their back on Lebron after having made his decision to "take his talents elsewhere". As the hate drew greater, I knew more and more that what he was going through had to be seen from a filmmaker's perspective. So, after having seen the Heat fail miserably and people actually being glad just because it was Lebron, I said to myself that as soon Lebron wins his ring, be it next year or not, I am going to show Lebron's rise and fall, but ultimately showing his rising again. Then as they won the following year vs the Thunder garnering Lebron his first ring, I knew that I had all the material that I needed, and the rest is history.....as they say.

"And as always, ENJOY"

Daniel Custard

and hopefully one day Lebron manages to see this for himself.....
