A month or two ago I ran across a website where Sonya’s daughter & company produced a series of short movies. I can’t find it now! My girls in the midst of writing and filming their first play and I thought this would inspire them. Help?!
I know they have a site with the words Intentional Parenting, or something like that, but not sure if that’s the one that their dc are involved in.
HTH
The month of the Novel stuff they did is maybe what you are talking about? http://www.youtube.com/user/MonthOfTheNovel?feature=watch
My oldest son is eagerly awaiting November 1st for part 2!
Excellent! Thank you, Laura, that’s it! And their website blog has some nice behind the scenes. The website it http://monthofthenovel.com/
They also have a site where they review books. Anyone know this one? I’m going to bookmark them this time!
I just came across the book review one the other day! http://incredibooks.com/
My girls are watching the Month of the Novel right now and laughing hilariously.
This makes me smile. Glad they’re enjoying it!
Jordan, I’m glad it made you smile.
My daughter looked at your website and was hoping for tips to help her make a movie. Did you just figure it out or use a resource? Keep in mind she is 11 and using a VHS camcorder from 2000. Thankfully, she things that’s pretty cool.My filmmaking journey has been a combination of figuring it out on my own, reading a lot of books, and having very supportive parents. One book I might recommend is Filmmaking for Teens: Pulling Off Your Shorts, which despite the somewhat off-putting title is a pretty good beginner’s guide that I wish I’d read when I was getting started. I’d recommend you preview it, though, as it does carry a little bit of a rebellious teenager attitude.
But really, the best advice I can give is to be creative. Experiment and explore! My most well-learned film lessons are ones I discovered myself, either through careful planning or mistakes I made along the way. Sonya’s older two daughters and I kept up a pretty regular blog for a few years about our adventures. It might be worth a look for your daughter: http://phantommoose.com (The latest posts are more technical. Go back to the beginning for the fun stuff.)
And maybe I can get one of those supportive parents to talk about the parenting side of encouraging a youngster with a camera.
Regarding being a supportive parent, a lot of what we did was get out of the way and let the creativity happen!
Jordan started by using our digital still camera to do stop motion animation of toys because we didn’t have a movie camera.
We tried to facilitate what we could. For example, help with supplies, ideas for budget props, transportation, and point out good examples of filmmaking. As we saw skills develop to the point of outgrowing the available tools, we invested in a bit of equipment and software to get to the next level. That way the investment in those things came after enough interest and skill was proven. We saw this as an educational investment not unlike books or other tools.
