2012 ASU Summer Student Moviemaking Camp

(Commuter Students Only)

The 2012 ASU Summer Student Movie-Maker Camp is primarily designed to provide a “hands-on” narrative film experience for high-school students and teachers who want to increase their knowledge of basic screenwriting, producing, directing, cinematography, lighting, and editing skills. The camp will be under the supervision of Gary Jones, a veteran (49 years and still counting) filmmaker who has worked in all film formats—from 8mm to 65mm film —and most current high-definition digital cinema formats.

Responding to feedback from last year’s inaugural group of students and teachers, the 2012 Moviemaking Camp will have less talk and more action. Pre-production and script ideas will be handled via email prior to our Sunday, July 29^th so that Camp participants can “hit the ground running”. (Let’s face it. The only way to learn how to make movies—is to MAKE movies.) The ASU Dept of Radio-TV Narrative Film program will provide all equipment necessary, although students are also welcome to bring their own HDSLRs and laptops.
