LIGHTS . . . CAMERA . . . ACTION!!
Join us for a week of Filmmaking Fun as Video One brings you Camp Hollywood!

Spend the week working as a team to write and create short films. Experience the movie-making process from beginning ideas to editing a DVD and learn acting, improvisation, writing, directing, camera work, lighting and editing.

In each camp, all students will have a chance to choose a filmmaking focus. Students interested in performance will have additional opportunities in front of the camera, while those with a more technical interest spend more time working with cameras, sound and lights. In this way everyone gets the film experience that best suits him or her.

Each camp is a guaranteed educational experience wrapped in non-stop fun. And always, our camps focus on creativity, imagination, discovery and teamwork.

Camps are for ages 11-14 and are held
Monday through Friday from 10:00-3:30
at Video One, downtown Bellingham on Bay Street.

    Week One
    Making Your Movie
    AGES 11-14 yrs
    June 16 - 20

    Students use improvisational theater and storytelling exercises to create characters and stories for the screen. Students also learn the elements of camera, lighting, sound and directing as they film their stories and edit into a DVD.

    Camp will focus on using the cameras, lighting gear and equipment that students may already have around the house. This week could also be titled: "making a scene using stuff from home depot." The idea is learn skills you can use throughout the year - regardless of your "film budget."

    Week Two
    Film Skills
    AGES 12-14 yrs
    June 23 - 27

    This week is for the student who is interested in a more in-depth look at the skills of acting, directing, camera and lighting. Students will run through a variety of exercises including: Improvisation, Scripted Film Acting, Lighting Design, Green Screen Technique, Cinematography. Learn the finer elements of filmmaking by recreating scenes from favorite films. Students will also have a chance to put the skills into action on their own short video pieces.

    WEEK TWO IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS WHO TAKE WEEK ONE

PAST CLASSES

APRIL 2007

Reality TV reaches new levels of absurdity when Camp Hollywood unleashes their latest, and possibly greatest, film. Inspired by shows such as "Survivor" and "The Apprentice," we will create our own mock Reality Television Show, complete with bizarre characters, Herculean tasks and unpredictable plot twists.

 

FEBRUARY 2007

Explore your inner Belushi! Inspired by the sketch comedy of Saturday Night Live, we will create our own sketch comedy show using improv games to create characters and scenes.

 

NOVEMBER 2006

Combining the styles of mock-umentary and narrative filmmaking we will develop and shoot a short film in two days (Yes, we attempt the impossible) about a group of students kidnapped by aliens. , this should be a great addition to any DVD collection.
