Film 2 Links

Here are the links from Film 2.
Ink - a stopmotion short by Grace, Sarah, Jaclyn, Gabby, and Anusha.
FRUIT PUNch - the oh so wrong short by Dirk, Jason, Arhum, Cole, Ben, and Corbin.  This isn't done.  We are going to live with it for a while then edit it for pacing sound, and content.
Escap'n - by Andrew, Jeb, and Esmir.
also here is the link for the Escap'n Bloopers - They had a lot of fun/slaps making this.
Left - the spooky short by Jennie, Leah, and Emily.
and finally here is You Can't - the one shot film devised by Luke Jacobs

Thank you all for a creative week of teamwork.
Go team!

Film 2 Friday

We had a great week.

Lots of indoor film production as we dodged the monsoons this week.

Lots of great teamwork.

Go team!

Film 2 Thursday

Good day today.  The sun was out even though we were all indoors finishing production, it was still a welcome friend.
All 5 projects went from objects to stories.  All of the groups made great moves.
The stop motion people took great leaps.
The spooky hand film went from some cool images to the beginnings of a taut story.
The slap pun group showed how editing can take the shots to exciting filmmaking.
The fruit pun hoard had a blast putting words in their fruits mouths.  It is completely ridiculous and often wrong.  The might be having more fun than is allowed.
Luke was able to produce his one shot horror film.  We have been having good talks about this all week so seeing it produced was good. It was a very good learning experience.
Pizza tomorrow!  Go team.

Film 2 Wednesday

Lots of big weather.  Lots of film production.  Lots of laughs and hard work.

Film 2 Tuesday

We moved from dreaming and imagining to producing today.

Great energy in the room.

We avoided most of the rain, shooting the last scenes for Trolley as the downpour began.

Lots of inside production planned for tomorrow.

Go team!

Film 1 Friday

We had a great week.

I think everyone learned a lot, worked a lot on building stories, 

and most importantly bonded into strong teams.

It was great to see.

I am uploading the last film now, 

so check back soon for the three links to the films from this week.

Thank you all.

Lots of production today.

Lots of big decision making.

I think we were close to the goal of wrapping production on all three projects today.

Tomorrow will be editing, showing the whole group, re-editing, and final wrap up.

Remember we will have pizza for lunch.

It was great to see everyone acting like filmmakers today.

I look forward to seeing finished films tomorrow.

So much production.

The ballet group got to film inside the Bath House Cultural Center.
