Whistler children between the ages of 13 and 18 will create a short documentary-style film about global warming looking at the topic Save Our Snow with a focus on how the community can help save Whistler’s glaciers.
The workshop will give youth access to professional equipment over the six-day, practical-hands-on workshop led by industry professionals. Students will learn about camera operation, lighting scenes, recording sound, setting up a shot and working with performers. Youth will switch hats as director, production manager, camera operator, sound recorder and editor.
The final product will premier at the 2007 Whistler Film Festival as part of its Youth Outreach Program, which is sponsored by the Dave Murray Summer Ski and Snowboard Camp.
The workshop is $129 per student, meals not included.
The registration deadline is June 25. Space is limited. Call 604-938-3204 to register.
