SA FilmLab: Where did we all go? I’ll tell you where!
Hi blog readers!
It’s been quite a while since the last blog post. The first official intensive is now far behind us and the Labsters have been squirrelling away in development with the occasional word for the past couple of months.
A few things have happened recently that you could call highlights!
Firstly, you may or may not have noticed the FilmLab logo popping up here and thereon the SAFC website and perhaps even on this user profile. It will be appearing more and more so keep an eye out for it. We personally think it’s a bit of alright, but would love to know your thoughts!
Secondly, we’re madly working undercover to get resources from FilmLab together for the industry – in a format to be released soon. I was thinking we could do video holograms of lectures, to be beamed direct to your frontal lobes – but was told that this wasn’t in keeping with the “Lo Budget” mentality. Oh well, one can dream. Stay posted.
Thirdly, we brought the labsters back together for a half day seminar presented by one refreshed Stephen Cleary, and each team got to sit down for an hour to discuss the next stage of their project. As we predicted, some teams are raring to go knocking on production’s door, while others are keen to explore their stories in development and let them ripen into something fabulous. We also had a chance to chat to the Labsters in retrospect and ask them what they thought of the process and what they learnt about Low Budget film making through the Lab. Their answers were very interesting, and we’ll share them soon.
That’s it from me for the moment, but I’ll be sure to keep upating as often as I can, and see if I can get you guys back here regularly.
Unfortunately no pictures of food or otherwise for today’s post, but I do care to mention a rather delicious curry I had for lunch if anyone needs something to visualise.
