-- Calling all Charlottesville & Albemarle area nonprofits, causes, and social justice initiatives! --
Are you interested in entering to win a 30-second public service announcement highlighting your organization?
Advanced filmmaking students at Light House Studio will read your applications and select one organization to feature. The project will be supervised by Light House Studio's Senior Teaching Artist and Production Manager.
*We recommend that you are as specific with your proposal as possible!
Students will lead the following:
A) Project Research and Selection
B) Concept Creation and Storyboarding
C) Filming and Editing
The project is slated to take place on April 13th with pre-production meetings TBD. The cost of the workshop will be free to the students.
In the past, projects have always been creative and sometimes humorous in their approach, but this will not always be appropriate. Students should focus on a way to “hook” the viewer and draw them into the cause. Different video techniques and technology (e.g. animation, time-lapse, etc.) may also be used, depending on the project and concept. The 2016 PSA for SARA was selected as a finalist in the Blue Ridge Young Filmmakers Festival and the 4th place winner in the MYHERO International Film Festival.
