Beargrass Media Video Camp June 13-17, 2022
Here is the 2-minute Highlights reel of the June 2022 Video Camp
On Thursday, we gave each group a set of 3 common instructions:
Prop – a tissue
Character Clint or Clara Butler – a trainer
Line of dialog – It’s not brain surgery OR It is not brain surgery.
Each team draw a genre out of a hat, and they had to make a movie in about 24 hours.
Here are the results:
Orin’s Group made the film “The Sherriff”
__________________________________________________________________
Jon-Mark’s group made an Action/adventure movie. This is version 2, which has a few edits since the first version.
______________________________________________
Patrick’s group made a Thriller

We will be stringing the pieces of the show into a larger show called “Sketch Pad” soon.

On Wednesday, we covered film genres, foley sound effects, and some of the kids recorded with a teleprompter. The teleprompter bits will show up in the final broadcast, but we have already posted the genre pieces and the Foley sound effect piece.
______________________________________________________________
On Tuesday, we started out with action sequences that featured what we call continuation. In continuation sequences, we focus on having an action in one shot continue seamlessly to another shot. Here were the first 3:

On Tuesday, one of the groups finished editing their skit from Monday called Heavy Thoughts

On Monday, we started with a couple icebreaker skits
When your friend is bummed out, sometimes you want to send them a card, but you don’t want to be insensitive.

Several of the kids wrestled with what they should do about a leaky box

When you are sitting on an invisible bench, it is best to know everything about it you can.

When there is an old fashioned problem like a housefly, you think you you want an old fashioned solution like a newspaper, but some people just have to use the latest technology.

Sometimes, the thing you need most can only only be delivered in a special way.

2022 June HCM Video Camp Welcome Packet
Take a look at our Instructions and Tutorials Page
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. This will include what we know now and what could change between now and then related to pandemic precautions.
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. All will be conducted in accordance with the most recent approved CDC Guidelines as well as any additional family concerns for social distancing, masking, and other precautions.
If anyone would like to get a look at the videos made during last year’s video camps, check out the links directly below:
2021 December Video Camp Videos
We will host a video during the week of June 6th for anyone who wants to get last minute questions answered. We’ll send out the link to that meeting with the welcome packet on June 1st.
Since we spent part of the last 2 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 summer. Please feel free to reach out in advance if you have questions.
Patrick and Jon-Mark
