Thanks for breaking down your thoughts and suggestions around the shortfilm class idea @hypester77! Reading this has reminded me/inspired me to officially put it on my live event ideas list.
You hit on some key points, including the difficulty of ensuring committed teams. This whole idea could be epic! Or it could fizzle out with only a few teams barely getting any work done lol. I’m thinking we should do an “application thread” outlining the Class idea and calling for teams to form with some sort of application criteria. If we get enough committed teams, then I pull the trigger on the class officially.
Because the active teams is going to be the meat and potatoes of the class. Without that, the class will be too abstract I fear. It’ll definitely be a different type of class. Making shorts are so expansive and various that general lectures might be too irrelevant to the teams. It might make more sense to do detailed “guidance” sessions for teams and where they are in their production.
I dunno – talking out loud. Anyhoo, it’s on the list and I’m going to continue chewing on the idea.
