Beargrass Media 2-Day Video Camp: December, 2022
We recorded over 30 videos for 2 days with over 40 kids. We strung them all together into one epic show called “Character Sketch” complete with intros, show Anchors, skits, stop motion animation, a intrusion by a rival show called “Skit Marks” and a group of kids watching the show Character Sketch. The first video on this page is the 36 minute epic episode of “Character Sketch” that ties it all together. The majority of the skits also live in their own short video further down the page. Enjoy!

- Write a check for $95 to Beargrass Media and mail it to 2513 Blvd Napoleon Louisville KY 40205
DETAILS:
The students will learn how to write, record, edit, and publish video productions. The camp will be conducted in an in-person format. The students will use personal devices like phones and tablets tablets as well as camp-supplied video cameras, microphones, a teleprompter, green screen, etc. Students who have participated in one of our video camps before will be put in a group appropriate to their experience and ability.
There will be an official welcome packet that comes out the week prior to the camp with some more exact details, but we wanted to give you a heads-up on what to expect.
There is still time to request to be paired up with someone who is already registered or to tell a friend to sign up for the camp to join you. Sooner is better for us, because as the number of students grows, sometimes we pull in additional help for parts of the camp.
The camp will include some indoor classroom activity, some outdoor instruction and recording, some group projects, and some solo projects.
If anyone would like to get a look at the videos made during the 2022 June or July video camps, check out the links directly below:

Since we spent part of the last 3 years having kids work on video projects remotely, we have learned that they gain some valuable experience on some of the solo type work on a phone or tablet, and we will incorporate that into the camp. We would like as many students as possible to bring their portable devices with them to camp. If your student will NOT be bringing a portable device to camp, please let us know, so we can take an inventory of who will have what. Students will bring their devices, their lunch, and be dressed for some outdoor time.
All of the most up-to-date camp details will be on this camp page. We will post videos for the students and link them on the web site, but if any of the kids already have their own YouTube channel, they can post it, and we will link to it.
Looking forward to connecting with these students this winter break. Please feel free to reach out in advance if you have questions.
