Hollywood at Home: Collaborative Video Workshop for Youth

This summer, Davis Media Access has re-imagined its youth video-making classes and will offer an interactive, collaborative online workshop for youth aged 9-12 years, Aug. 10–14, from 3-5 pm:

We’ll be making a video together online! Using our smartphones and some elbow grease we will show Hollywood how to make movies during a lockdown!  We’ll start by generating inspiration for a collaborative idea that we can each shoot parts of at home using what we have available to us.  We’ll learn to storyboard and script together and focus our ideas, recognizing that being apart might lead to some crazy funny things!  Each person will then shoot portions of the script at home using the cameras built into their phone.  We will share our segments using an online video editor called WeVideo (DMA has a classroom account), and have fun trying to piece together everyone’s different parts.

Taught by Alex Silva-Sadder, Davis Media Access’ Programming & Training Manager. Alex manages, among other things, DMA’s Summer Youth Workshops, mentors the Davis Teen Animators Club, and has been helping teach volunteers, kids and teens video production skills at DMA for over 12 years. He enjoys watercolors, animation, video games and film.

Please register by no later than Thursday August 6th.

Cost is $100 per student.
