unterwegs in Sachen Film >>> <<< on the road making films!
I’ve never run a workshop for such young children (aged between 7 and 10) before … but I have to say: it’s great fun! Most of them were accompanied by a parent … and together we walked to the park, collected flowers and other plants, performed some impromptu dances and had a brilliant time! The kids were very curious and weren’t at all shy about experimenting with the camera, even though they’d never seen one before in their lives!
I got a new camera!
The Movexoom 3000, built in the 70es in Japan by Minolta for Agfa. Looks like it came from outer space and makes a beautiful noise, has three different speeds (9, 18 and 24 frames / second) and a fancy cross fade button!
My friend Judith visited me and on a wine-fuelled evening, we came up with a crazy film idea involving Brussels sprouts… developed in Brussels sprout juice, of course.
The background is this: every year at the Hamburg Short Film Festival, there is a category called ‘Flotter Dreier’ (Threesome): films up to 3 minutes long on a specific theme. The theme this year is ‘3’.
Our Brussels sprouts film is called “3 Leute, die 3 Minuten auf TriX 3 Mal Rosenkohl verfilmen” / “3 people filming Brussels sprouts 3 times in 3 minutes on TriX”. Total nonsense but lots of fun. At the moment the film is being digitized. Coming later … watch out!
