SOMERVILLE SUPER-8 FILMMAKING COURSE - February 4, 2012
CLASS MEETS AT Somerville Community Access TV, 90 Union Square in Somerville
CALL 617-628-8826 or email membership@access-scat.org to register
This fun course will be co-taught by Tara and Gordon Nelson. Tara Nelson recently received her MFA in Film from MassArt and has been busy getting her films into festivals, including the prestigious Views of the Avant Garde at the Lincoln Center in NYC. Gordon Nelson is an old-school film artist who has been teaching super-8 classes since 1998. This is a rare opportunity to experiment with a non-intimidating all-analog moving picture medium where users gain precise control of the image.
Course Description: No video format can replicate the unique “look” of film and this course will cover the basics of working with this special format. Using a Super-8 camera, students will shoot their own rolls of film and edit their movies using either traditional splicing or digital techniques. We will also cover some "direct animation" styles, such as hand-painting, tinting, and scratching the film. At the end of the course, we will hold a screening in SCATV's studio. In addition to the tuition fee, students should plan to spend $50 for film and processing costs.
Instructors: Tara and Gordon Nelson
Meets 4 Saturdays
February 4, 11, 25, March 3, Noon-2:30pm
Cost: $60 members, $100 non-members
