NEW THIS YEAR!--

Acting on Camera is a new workshop for kids with a passion for acting. The workshop helps young actors translate their stage acting skills into the basic building blocks to become adept at acting for the camera lens. Through reading and performing scenes from existing scripts, you'll learn how to interact with your fellow actors while always maintaining your own personal relationship to the camera. A final ensemble scene showcasing all workshop participants will be shown at the T Tauri Film Festival Finale Screening on Saturday, July 30, 2011.

Claymation is a type of stop-motion animation. In stop-motion animation, individual still photographs are "strung together" using digital editing software to create the illusion of movement in the finished film. The only real movement, however, is done by the animator, who positions and re-positions his or her clay figure, taking a photo of each new position. You'll make your movable clay creation figures using a wire skeleton, covered with moldable clay. Writing dialogue for your clay creatures, creating scene props and backgrounds, and adding narration, music, and credits are all part of the process of creating a fun and lively claymation movie that will be shown at the T Tauri Film Festival Finale Screening on Saturday, July 30, 2011!

Flow with the Pro: Final Cut Pro Editing Workflow is a workshop that focuses on the RIGHT way to use Final Cut Pro Editing software. While it includes instruction in the software's basic user interface and core operations, it is more concerned with how a film editing project is planned and organized. Following the old adage, "don't work harder, work smarter," the workshop will save novice FCP users hours (no, make that weeks or months) through the proper sequencing of steps and cataloging of video footage, sound clips, still photos, and other elements in your video production.

The registration deadline for all workshops is July 10, 2011.
