Project Samples

Super 8 filmmaking

I would love to do a one take Super 8 filmmaking project with high school students. Each student would make their own 3 minute short film, with all edits and cuts done in camera. The project would be broken down into various topics: -orientation of the camera functions and editing techniques -creating a storyboard -basic lighting set-ups -building props and altering costumes -shooting the films -hand-processing film (this would depend on the resources of the school, may be sent out to a lab instead) -DIY digitizing the film so students have a copy At the end of the project, it would be great to have a public screening of all the films!

Natural & Alternative Photography

In this project, students could experiments with a variety of alternative photographic processes, as well as eco-processing. Here is a list of processes that could be explored: -Cyanotypes -Van Dykes -Anthotypes -Lumens -Liquid Emulsion -Pinholes At the end of the project, students will have explored various techniques and we will have an art show up in the school!
