A Haunting in Haydenville?
Posted by FilmWorkshops.net in BAMH, LIVE-ACTION on July 19, 2010
In our film class last week, a number of strange occurrences took place.
First, we noticed that the door to the storage room was open every morning – even though we made sure to close it every evening. Apparently someone was messing with our stuff, so we set up a hidden camera and let it run while we were gone…
After we saw the video, we attempted to contact… whatever it was…
Did you notice the white figure? If you look closely, you can see it appear to enter Sam’s body.
Finally, when Sam was setting up the camera in the ballet studio – just getting ready to start filming our movie - he felt a sudden chill. This is what the video camera recorded at that exact moment:

Hermione and Ginny want to get back to Diagon Alley – but the old wall is missing a brick!
JUNE 2010 ANIMATION WORKSHOP – FIRST MOVIES!
Posted by FilmWorkshops.net in ANIMATION, Animation - June 2010 on July 7, 2010
First we have a series of films by Gabe and Alex (AKA Katika Studio)…
The creators have kindly provided notes on their work:
Katika Studio Anifilm Festival
Production Notes:
The Epic Of Greenboots:
Based on a character we made up a while ago. A small design homage to Miyazaki. Gabe summoned up all of his undignified improv skills and improvised the voices of Greenboots and Captain Carapace. Enjoy.
Cages:
Not our masterpiece, but an okay white-board animation with art by Gabe.
The Littlest Harlequinade…
Probably our best film out of this collection. Creepy with lots of dolls and rabbits and babies, which are our three favorite things to use in creepy stories. Very painstaking photography and videography by Alex– this film took a whole day. Special thanks to Adam for the set pieces. Glad to have it over with and very happy with the result.
Change is Gonna Do Me Good:
Pretty good whiteboard animation that we spent a while on. Added in the title and music afterwards and that made us laugh a lot more than it will make you laugh.
Thanks for viewing!
Studio Katika ~ Gabe Gill (artist) and Alex Koester (videographer and technician)
We both co-plotted and co-directed the films.

And finally a great compilation of short films from the other members of our group:
COMING SOON: A special Harry Potter-themed short film from several members of the June 2010 animation group…

Adaptation Workshop: “Alice in Wonderland – A Mad Tea Party”
Posted by FilmWorkshops.net in "Alice in Wonderland" Adaptation Spring 2010, LIVE-ACTION on June 19, 2010
In this workshop, everybody read Lewis Carroll’s original novel, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” We all agreed the Mad Tea Party scene made the most sense to adapt. You may find it interesting to compare our version with the original.
What changes do you notice? And why do you think we made those changes?

What could be more fun than making your own movie? How about remaking a movie that everyone knows, but with your own style applied to it?
