Budding Spielbergs
made their own contributions to the silver screen at a series of filmmaking
workshops.
Under the guidance of
Kate Pardon, who ran the events in conjunction with Smiths Row, youngsters
at Howard Primary tried a variety of animation techniques
using artists’ inks, nail varnishes, lettraset, sandpaper and glitter glue to
manipulate the surface of film strips.
They then cut up home
movies mixed with Hollywood movies on Super 8 formats to create new ones.
Meanwhile, pupils at St Louis Catholic Middle created storyboards
for short films before shooting them in small groups and processing them by hand
in coffee and tea, washing soda and vitamin C. A workshop at the Hyndman Centre
also saw nine to 13-year-olds shoot and hand process their own Super 8 film.
