Substation Press Release
THE GUERRILLA FILMMAKING WORKSHOP
Course The course is a 10-week, intensive, no-frills, hands-on course, with an emphasis on experimental filmmaking. It combines both practical and theoretical aspects of filmmaking. Black & white silent 16mm film is the chosen format because it allows for teaching of the most important filmmaking basics like storytelling through framing and editing.
Scripting, storyboarding, using a camera, light meter, shooting, editing, projecting films, even how to hand-process a roll of film in your own home - students will learn all this and more. Students will also be given an overview of the history of film. They will also be shown seminal, non-mainstream experimental films to illustrate the points taught.
Each class of 20 students will be divided into small groups, and students will have the opportunity to do every step with their own hands. Students will have free and unlimited access to the course equipment during the 10 weeks, to do their own work for their class projects.
By the end of the course, students will have completed their own, silent, black-and-white short film using the course equipment. This way, the sense of achievement will be greater.
The course is tailored both for absolute beginners and those who have some experience in video production. It is meant for those who have always wanted to learn filmmaking but never had the opportunity to.
Instructors Co--founders of Monster Films, Phillip Lim and Jonathan Foo. Phillip has a degree in filmmaking from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has made several experimental short films that have been screened in Singapore and overseas. Jonathan studied Communications Arts at the University of San Francisco and currently works as a producer.
Monster Films are the people behind the film version of Adrian Tanšs bestselling book, The Teenage Textbook, which opens on 12 November.
The Guerrilla Filmmaking Workshop is supported by Kodak Singapore and MTV Asia.
