Projects from Previous Semesters

 

16mm Film Production Projects:

These are whole-class projects where the class writes, plans, produces, directs, films, and edits a short film using 16mm movie film. These projects were shot using an Eclair ACL-1 16mm movie camera.

Summer 2005, FST 201: Dream Girl (or save this link to download for your video iPod to play on the go!)

Spring 2005, FST 201: Workaholic (or save this link to download for your video iPod to play on the go!)

Summer 2004, FST 201: Ananke (shot with a K-3, temporarily offline while I "re-aquire" the necessary footage...)

 

Still-Image Movie Projects, Final Projects:

These are shot using still image cameras, both film and digital, with film grammar in mind. The sequences of images are edited together to make short movies sometimes accompanied with sound. Here are a few examples from previous semesters.

Good Ole Karl and Grace -- this is one of many versions of a scene interpreted by Dave Monahan from Hitchcock's Sabotage. It has been used many times as a scripted scene to interpret for this class.

Paul and Abdul (or save this link to download in video iPod format.) The summer class no longer did "Karl and Grace" but interpreted a script of two roommates discovering something about the each other.

Bum (this one needs Windows Media Player, sorry...) This was a final project from 201, completing a unique short movie using stills.

Stalktastic (or save this link to download in video iPod format.) Another final project.

 


Super-8:

Here are a few Super-8 "in-camera edit" projects from Summer 2004. Students scripted and storyboarded these and then shot on one Super-8 reel, one shot per board. Projects had to be well planned to make them cohesive and fit in the short time frame. The transfer (aka "one light transfer" -- the one light from the DJL bulb of my old projector) is very rough -- sorry! Enjoy!
