School Film Project

For the past two days, and for the next several upcoming weeks, I have been and will be working on a film project in Franklin Twp School. Basically, we will be creating one film throughout the K-8 school, with each class focusing on one aspect of filmmaking (storyboarding, prop making, production, editing, musical score, etc). I believe it is a neat approach, one that will play out nicely when everything is wrapped if all goes to plan. I’ve always liked working with youngsters (was a camp counselor back in the day) but have never done so while trying to make a movie with them. It’s a big undertaking, but it’s one that I have enjoyed thus far. It’s great to see kids respond well the the things you say and the material you present to them, especially when its about the field I work in and am so passionate about. I’ve started a blog for the school that will detail each step along the way.
