FILMMAKERS WORKSHOP—Spoof commercial CHALLENGE!

Join us for laughter and learning as we collaborate create an original short film made up entirely of spoof comericals!

• Remote class meets 9-11:30 online via Zoom

• Engaging afternoon challenges for students to do independently each day

• No special equipment required--all film will be recorded via Zoom or standard smartphone cameras

Along with reading, writing, and arithmetic, filmmaking is emerging as a vital communication skill. In the Filmmaking Workshop at Creative Stage students will hone their skills as they explore all aspects of the art of filmmaking from writing, acting, directing to editing their final film.

Students in Filmmakers Workshop-Spoof Commercial Challenge! will start their day with Madeline Bender (Creative Stage Founder/Director) as they work together to create their own original musical, comic spoof commercials using playful techniques such as theatrical improv, brainstorming roundtables and the like.

After a short break, kids will log back on with industry professional, filmmaker Katheryn Metzger, to learn to convert their ideas into a comic short film. They will also learn some basic film editing techniques.

In the afternoon, kids will be given a variety of filmmaking and musical challenges to work on independently.
