Another earthquake set to hit Folkestone
May 2nd, 2007Well actually the news is that on Friday 4th May I will be in Folkestone working for the BBC as part of their Blast scheme, introducing kids to the wonderful world of creative filmmaking. Raoul Morris and I will be leading a 1 day workshop where children from the local area will come up with an idea, then shoot and edit it between 10am and 6pm. A lot of work but hopefully fun. If you're in Folkestone on Friday, please feel free drop by to see how the process is going.
Post Mortem…
The day was a resounding success. The group made a 3-minute film which had a great story, was well filmed and thoroughly entertaining.
Feedback from the BBC was that this was a textbook course in filmmaking.
Despite some setbacks (equipment failure and the most terrible wind, making outdoor sound recording impossible) the course had enough flexibility built in to it to cope with these problems.
