Filmmaking Camp Taught by Hans Rosenwinkel & Andrew Bateman

The following camp will be held between the hours of 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Monday-Friday with an hour lunch and around 2 hours of free work time. The participants will engage with our camp instructors and other participants via ZOOM and Canvas accounts.

Course Description Students will create their own films and experience every step of film production from story premise inception, scriptwriting and pre-duction planning all the way through filming, editing and screening. This online taught class will provide a customized and individual experience for each student and provide an environment to learn about lighting, sound, location scouting, production design, cinematography, editing, graphics, and color correction. Students may also have the opportunity to work remotely in teams guided by experienced faculty and filmmakers. All filmmaking equipment is software and app based to simulate a high-end camera shot on a smart phone or tablet type device, as well as a variety of editing programs that can be accessed to work together in this unique virtual setting.

Technology Details & Requirements: In order to participate in the Filmmaking Camp students will need a computer, camera/phone and internet access for the two weeks.

Other than that, the instructors have set the camp up to be extremely flexible with software needs. Below are examples of different types of software that students may be able to use if they are interested. You do NOT need to download or install any software prior to the camp starting. The instructors will explain in more detail at camp.

Examples of possibly Software that may be used: • Free Script Writing Software: https://writerduet.com/ or Celtx: https://www.celtx.com/index.html • Free Storyboard Software https://wonderunit.com/storyboarder/ • Shot Designer (for Mac or PC) https://www.hollywoodcamerawork.com/shot-designer-download.html • If you use your phone we recommend buying the $15 application Filmic Pro: https://www.filmicpro.com/ • software- some examples include: o Free Video Editing Software: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ o (7 day free trial period) o IMovie (for Mac or PC) o o Davinci Resolve is a free editing software but it requires a lot of Tech Specs: • A CPU that has an Intel Core i7 processor is essential. This means Macs need OS X 10.10.5 or higher, Windows 8.1 or newer, and CentOS 6.6. • 16 GB of RAM, preferably more than that, but 16 GB will do. It is worth mentioning that video takes up more space in a drive than any other file type that we regularly use. This explains why our camera phones are often sluggish over time, and also why you need so much Random-Access Memory. • For your GPU, make sure it has more than 4 GB minimum. The GPU can carry the image processing pretty well. If you have a system that doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, but that does have huge amounts of memory, then you have a chance of bypassing the DaVinci Resolve minimum requirements. You should also ensure they are AMD or CUDA compliant. • Memory – video takes up vast amounts of space in your hard drive. DaVinci Resolve PC Requirements need a minimum of 512 GB SSD storage space. The DaVinci Resolve recommended specs on Mac are the same. • Data Rates – these should be as close to your file type as possible. If you can, make your processing power faster than how quickly your pc sends data to storage, then you will always have a smooth finish on your edit.
