About
Filmmakers have always been trying to make impossible realities come to life. Whether it’s spaceships, strange creatures, hidden worlds, or impossible feats, where there’s a will, there’s a way! In this camp, you will explore the world of visual effects by learning how to create and record physical and digital effects from the big screen. You’ll also learn about virtual reality and how filmmakers are designing projects for this new medium.
What technology and supplies are needed to participate?
1. Each student will need access to a computer that can run Adobe Premiere Pro. NWFF will provide software access or free trials. You will also need a digital camera or mobile phone that can take pictures and video. We’ll also cover free app options for recording and editing in the camp.If you would like to take the camp, but aren’t sure if you have technology that will work for it, email jonah@nwfilmforum.org for options.
2. Participants will need to use the free Zoom cloud-based video conferencing service via a device or computer. Zoom meeting details will be sent to all participants a few days prior to the camp start date. Click here for a tutorial on how to join a Zoom meeting.
