The Southern Documentary Project
TEACHING THE NEXT GENERATION OF STORYTELLERS
Micah and Matthew have been helping create a new generation of filmmakers this week teaching the University of Mississippi’s ninth annual Filmmaking Workshop. The class is four days of intensive instruction in the techniques of filmmaking as well as an opportunity for students to get hand-on experience with all aspects of creating a film. Stay tuned for the final class project and be on the lookout for these up and coming filmmakers.
Here are some pics from the Filmmaking Workshop that Micah and I have been teaching this week. The class was a whirlwind experience in filmmaking, covering things like camera, lighting, sound, acting, directing and screenwriting; culminating in a final short scene that the class filmed in three different groups. Pictured are some of the students conferring with their storyboards and setting up their shots. Special thanks goes out to Karen Tuttle and Chris Williams who stepped up huge today and played the actors for each of the three scenes. Everybody worked really hard today getting their film in the can. Now all that’s left to do is edit and pop up the popcorn. Check back soon for the finished scenes.
