MANILA, Philippines - The La Consolacion College Manila’s Center for the Theater Education and Digital Filmmaking bares its 2010 Summer Digital Filmmaking and Theater Production Workshops, which starts today and runs until May 28 at the LCCM campus grounds, and TV Studio at No. 8, Mendiola Street, Manila.
These six-week hands-on, intense workshops, armed with the theme that promotes the United Nation’s millennium development goals, have specialized modules that are designed for children, teens and adults-professionals who are obsessed in applying theater and cinema aesthetics and techniques as mediums of communication and artistic expression.
Facilitators include noted industry practitioners, John Wong, Seymour Sanchez, Fr. Larry Faraon, Leo Martinez, Joel Torre, Jeffrey Quizon, Carlo Mazeda, Manny Morfe, Atty. Josabeth Alonzo and Lito Casaje, among others.
The workshop(s) encompasses the whole gamut of theater and digital filmmaking production phases from conceptualization, scripting, casting, budgeting, and production management to principal photography, which includes digital cinematography, acting, directing, production design, production management, and with post-production, such as editing, musical scoring, sound design, special effects, color grading, all the way down to marketing and distribution. But what is uniquely remarkable about the modules is that all assigned exercises in the workshops, while culminating with the participant’s chosen narratives, public service ads, documentaries, and theatrical showcases or recitals as outputs, will work around with concepts that should inculcate in the artist a strong sense of social responsibility.
True to the Augustinian spirit that the institution advocates, the workshops hope to produce artists that will define further the humane side of theatre and digital cinema.
