Craig Baldwin (San Francisco) will mix it up with local artists in a found footage workshop. This hands-on class will introduce people to the Found Footage Film. Learn how to view, select, cut, edit and post-produce (with sound).
On Saturday, you will be introduced to this fascinating genre through screenings and discussion and later, working alone or collaboratively, everyone will begin assembling a scene or short film collage by engaging with real 16mm celluloid film material (provided).
On Sunday, each participant will have 3 extra hours to complete the work they started the day previous and during clean-up will watch their new works and receive feedback.
The intention of the workshop is to finish all compilations in class, but if you don’t quite finish, not to worry! You will have access to the equipment at the Winnipeg Film Group production space for FREE for FIVE DAYS after class (Mon-Fri 10:30a-5:30p, no exceptions) to complete your work.
