WHAT IT IS?

This workshop has been inspired on Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis (German: Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt) is a 1927 German film directed by Walter Ruttmann, co-written by Carl Mayer and Karl Freund.

1st Step: We ask our group of participants to record actions and sounds on the city. We teach the basics of a simple camera. It can be almost any camera. It can be a moblie camera, a flip camera or a handy cam. 2nd Step: We make a demo of all the proces so they can understand.

1. We connect a camera to a projector and we show them the different shots while we ask them to perfom an action that fits for it.
2. We make a demo also on editing. Here we need to cut the clip on the midle and put the first part of the video after the second one. Then we use a transition and we export it.
3. We put the loop on the vj software so they can see how it works.
4. We teach to make stale takes
5. We explain how are we going to make a loop so they can choose better their shots.
6. After that they are going to edit simple loops. Then all toghether we are going to mix it on real time in life event to share it with friends over the Internet.

3rd Step: Discuss on the different things we can find. Use a map to find this things.

4th Step: They go to the city as cameraman.

5th Step: Everybody has to edit equal number of loops. we have to provide actions with sounds. This depends of the time we have. 7th Step: We use the vj mixer to practice. 8th Step: Organize a event to show our work. We make a demo!
