Film Camps

Our film camps offer a hands on program introducing young people to the theory, techniques and technology of movie making. It explores all aspects of the movie making process: developing an idea, creating a script, casting the movie and shooting it using professional HD Video cameras. We’ll then move into the editing suite to put the pieces of the movie together, adding effects and a soundtrack to produce a finished movie on DVD.The camps follow the natural creative path of filmmaking from pre-production into production and then post-production.
