Bodybuilders are not atheletes

Problem is those guys don't have the time!

They don't have to have the time! A documentary filmmaker would just be there when they are doing whatever it is they are doing. The trick is to get them to allow the intrusion into their lives for a year or so and that can be a big deal. I think it would be great, unfortunately I don't have access to the big boys or I would do it myself.

True, but it would be hard for a camera crew to be present when a athlete was studying game film and such. I cant imagine to many coaches allowing a camera man to follow a single player around.

It would be a great movie tho!

This film is somewhat like gato (Mike) has proposed.  I saw it in IMAX at a planetarium in 2003 & it's excellent.

You think a surgeon would allow a camera crew into his operating room? Here's a short piece I did without a crew.

If it's done right you would only need one cameraman. If the cameraman is good he can remain inconspicuous and never intrude on the reality of the situation.

Mike: LOL, it's Stravinsky vs. Dave on Youtube for the name "Pulcinella."

Yes, I know! Imagine my surprise when, as a teen, I was rummaging through the classical music bins at my local Sam Goody's (yes, I was a very NERDY teen!) and I came across The Pulcinella Suite! It's a fairly interesting piece of music too.
