-- VANLAND - an amazing mobile media project --

	It was the best media thing I've done in ages. Jeremy aged 16
	------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VANLAND is a fully mobile project which means that all of the film-making workshops happen in (or nearby) the village where the participants live. Running as 1 day tasters, short intensives and longer residencies the workshop process is focused as much on facilitating the creative vision of the participants as learning the technological skills of video making. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was a very enjoyable experience. I hope to do it again and the skills I have learned will be very useful for me for the future. Felek aged 15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshops are tailored to the skill level and vision of each group. During the process participants form small 'production companies' and work through the appropriate stages of digital video making: concept development, script writing, storyboarding, performance for camera, camera skills, image and sound editing. All the workshops are facilitated by skilled performance and media professionals based in the region. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The people that worked with us were nice to us, were as chilled as us and worked with us instead of against us. Tash aged 14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the end of each workshop participants will have taken on different roles throughout the production process and worked together to bring a short film to completion ready for public screening. Past projects have included fiction (action-packed thrillers, sci-fi and drama) documentaries and mockumentaries and single/multi-screen installation work - all using issues of rural Devon life and the local landscape as sources of inspiration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ back to top
