Saturday, May 19, 2001. Limited to 10 students. During each class actors will work on-camera, concentrating on the practical techniques of film acting, releasing emotion, analyzing text, characterization, etc. The workshop will focus on the technical aspects of filmmaking that can affect the actor's performance such as hitting marks, continuity, sound levels, and the transition from stage to film acting. The class focuses heavily on learning to relax and enjoy acting with the camera.
Sessions meet every other week.
Space is limited and there is a waiting list. Howard Libov Kids age 12-15 don't have to spend their summer vacation watching movies, they can spend it making movies with the After School Movie Studio. This workshop is being held in community partnership with the National Football League Youth Education Town and will be held at their facility located at 535 Hill Avenue in Grant Park. Over eight weeks, students will learn proper format and presentation, learn to view movies as tools to improve their writing, write a 15-20 page screenplay, and get first hand knowledge of the industry and how to break in.
