OTS8 Event – Regina Screening

WHEN:  Thursday June 13th at 8pm
WHERE:  The RPL Film Theatre (2311 12 Ave, Regina, SK)

25 Filmmakers had only a few weeks to shoot their Super8 films, and on June 13th they will be premiering their works at the RPL Film Theatre at 8pm.  This will be the 11th edition of the One Take Super 8 Event that Regina has seen.

A brief history of the OTS8 Event:

The One Take Super 8 Event (OTS8) began in 2000, with 20 filmmakers each shooting a single reel of Super 8 film, which then premiered to an audience without the filmmakers seeing their work beforehand. All the films were shown as shot. No cuts. No splices. The popularity of this non-competitive festival has allowed it to return each year with more filmmakers participating. To date over 750 films have been created for the One Take Super 8 Event!

2D Puppet Filmmaking Part III: Researching – Testing – Fabricating

Categories:

Featured, General News

April 30, 2013

researching-SMALLWith a Prairie History film, research is hugely important. On Gute Schone, I spent a great deal of time on the Sask Archives website researching prairie homesteads. With Siberian Maneater we researched everything from what the Canadian flag was in 1920, to what the clothing trends were, and even what a horse-drawn carriage looked like! I’ve found that the RPL’s Prairie History Room is also a great resource for researching the aesthetic of a certain time period, if you’re doing a prairie history film.

When designing a puppet, it’s very helpful to have an idea of what movement you want it to perform. This way you can concentrate on engineering your puppet for a specific purpose, rather than spending hours puppetizing every limb and then realizing after that you only needed its right arm to move!
