Lots of production today.
Tomorrow the girls will do sound and editing.
The boys need to produce their last images, but their editing is almost done.

Stopmotion Class, Day 3

Lots of filmmaking today.
Here is a sneak peek to get everyone thinking about what we have been working on.
The goal is to finish production tomorrow, so Friday can be for editing and sound.
Remember we will have a pizza party on Friday so no need to bring a lunch.
We are all having a great time.
Go team.

Stopmotion Class Day 2

We had a productive day today.  Each group produced their first images.  Things are progressing well.  We have a lot of work to do.

Stopmotion Class, Day 1

We had a great day in Stopmotion Class today.
We talked about options for materials.  We watched lots of examples.
We took photographs of Sudeep and make a quick animation using these cut out photographs.
I asked the students to work in groups to hone our ideas.
We ended up splitting in to two groups, 4 boys and 4 girls.
They have each written their stories.
I worked tonight to get all of their materials together.
Tuesday morning we begin animation in earnest.
I am very excited to see them begin their work.

First Day Film Class, 2013

We had a great day today.  It is an extremely respectful group.  We have lots of great ideas.  We had great discussions about topics, themes, stories, and films.  We watched lots of short films and talked about all of their qualities.  We walked down to the lake and scouted locations.  They have homework for tomorrow.  We will be starting the day defining the main projects.  We will then see how far we can get with the scripts, and begin shooting our first scenes which will reinforce our direction and allow us to augment our stories.  The team is strong.
