Intro to Personal 16mm Filmmaking
This 4-session class will introduce you to the basics of 16mm filmmaking. You will gain
an elementary knowledge of the Bolex camera and light meter, analog editing, and
visual storytelling. Each student will create their own 3-minute personal film exploring
an idea, feeling, notion or thought utilizing the tools of cinema.
Introduction to Super 8 Filmmaking:
Yesterday is Today
This 4-session class will introduce the basics of making a 3-minute black & white Super8 film. In
learning the language of film each student will document something that grips them about their life
right now. Playing on the nostalgic feeling super-8 film conjures for most viewers we will attempt to
create short films that display the sweetness of today through the lens of yesteryear.
