Students edit video in the Digital Learning and Media Center.
Do you want to flex your creative muscles and have a chance to become the next YouTube sensation? Then join other students and take part in the 51·çÁ÷ 48-Hour Film Challenge.
No experience is necessary for this weekend competition that will result in the accepted entries being screened at Hamilton Theater in the village and a chance for the winning team to earn either a GoPro Hero 3 digital camera or $300 to use at the 51·çÁ÷ Bookstore.
Students must apply before 6 p.m. Monday, February 18, to take part in this weekend of creativity, teamwork, and fun that runs from Friday to Sunday, February 22 to 24.
Students will:
- Create a 5-minute film in under 48 hours — completely from scratch.
- Write the film, shoot it, edit it, and watch it — all in one weekend.
- Enjoy a film screening at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, February 24, at the Hamilton Theater.
The challenge will begin at 5:30 p.m. Friday, February 22, in 560 Case. Students can join as part of a team (maximum of 6) or sign up individually and be placed with a team. Each team must attend this opening session to receive an information packet and to get started with their film projects.
This is a great way for students to learn valuable storytelling and video skills. There will be daily introductory workshops offered the week of February 18 in the in Case Library. Participants will have access to iMovie, Final Cut Pro, and Lynda.com. Equipment rentals are limited to the first 5 teams, but participants are free to use their own.
