  An inspiring way to learn what it takes to make films from script writing to shooting, from editing and directing to sound and light from an award winning director and film maker.  
     
 
AN EXTRAORDINARY FILM DIRECTOR OFFERS EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS FOR CAMPERS
 

Film Director Ed McDougal produced and directed a number of award winning films, including “The Prodigy” and “Dog Jack” which were released nationwide through Blockbuster in the United States. Ed has conducted yearly seminars in screenwriting and film production since 1985 and has traveled worldwide giving filmmaking seminars.

What an exciting, unbeatable opportunity! Campers are taught the technical side of filming, production, editing and special effects. Together with a talented director they are involved in selecting a script, modifying a story board, casting, locating scenes, shooting, editing and dubbing. The cast will consist of all Village Campers present.

Traditionally, mornings (and, at times, afternoons and evenings) are devoted to the film activity. Using the group creativity an existing script will be modified, locations investigated, campers interviewed to determine interest and enthusiasm. This is a camp with great enthusiasm throughout, and it is often very difficult to separate our producers from their tasks.

Our technical film director has many years experience and is a fun person to be around. The results are unanimously appreciated, and parents are pleasantly surprised when they see the home video.

The afternoons are devoted to a choice of other activities, when campers finally tear themselves away from their cameras and computers (all IMACs with first class editing capabilities).
