I run filmmaking projects and workshops around the UK. I make films with you, not just for you.
Got a film you want to make? I can:
- help you plan the project, with outlines, timetables and costings
- provide training in filmmaking and film storytelling
- advise on equipment, or bring my own gear
- support you to do your own filming and editing, or edit it in consultation with you
- enhance your films with colour correction, sound adjustments and precise editing
- provide finished films as files for online streaming, or on DVD
Films for Kids in Museums
Over the summer I helped young people to make films about how museums and galleries could be made more teen-friendly. I worked with five different teen groups in the East and South-east of England. I trained them in filmmaking and gave them support and advice throughout the filmmaking process. They used my pro cameras, SLRs, editing software (Final Cut Pro X) and iPads/iPhones to make their films, learning chromakey (green screen), animation, time-lapse and editing to a soundtrack. Their short films on different aspects of the museum experience were edited together to make these 10-minute training videos for museum and gallery staff.
These Kids in Museums projects were funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
My Filmmaking Ebook
Start Making Movies is my 163-page illustrated guide to filmmaking, drawing on more than thirty years' experience of teaching film. It starts from the basics and takes you through how films tell stories, what gear you need, and how to plan, shoot and edit your own short movies or videos.
If you can't afford the guide price of $14.99, just pay what you can.
