This informal summer program is is intended for youths 11 to 15 years old. It introduces the techniques,language and process of film/video making, and gives youngsters who love movies a behind the scenes experience in film/video making.

Henry O'Connell, Kenny MacBain and Dennis Kiely have a combined wealth of experience in all aspects of film and video making. All products of the highly regarded film and broadcast programs at Oswego State University, the three will present a fun and informal workshop that teaches the basics from A(ngles) to Z(oom) including conceptualizing, writing, recording, editing and finalizing short film videos.

Geared for beginners, youngsters will work in groups and receive a hands on experience in creating stories, camera work, lighting, angles, pre-and post-production process and working in front of and behind the camera. Groups will use everyday video cameras and basic PC editing software and equipment.

Each group will produce a short video to be premiered at the Hamilton Theater in a final session for family, friends and guests. Participants will receive a DVD copy of their work.

The cost of the workshop is $15. To register or for information, contact the Hamilton Theater at 824-8210.
