Make A Video Afternoon Co-Op

Special Event - CDIA/Boston University has granted us use of a studio for the day, and we're going to make videos. This meetup is a multi-meetup event, primarily via the DC Film Co-Op (event link here). The rough idea is: pre-event: screenwriters work on scripts, including one for the group to use pre-event: actors are contacted and commit to attending pre-event: scripts are finalized and distributed to the group/attendees pre-event: actors practice lines event: 12:30 - 1:00pm - arrive, meet-n-greet, set up 1:00pm - quiet on the set - filming starts on first video 2:00pm - filming starts on second video 3:00pm - filming starts on third video 4:00pm - wrap up 4:30pm - networking at local restaurant Who should attend? / Roles - Screenwriters - with their own script, or to help with others Actors - talented, quick study, flexible, wanting to act for credit Filmmakers - with ideas, equipment Entrepreneurs - who want a viral video People interested in film industry - helpers, etc. What type of videos are anticipated? * Short, 1 to 3 minute pieces * Can be shot in front of a white wall (props optional) * 1 to 3 actors (possibly more with extras) * Simple angles * Lighting needs are not complicated
