Temple University - Filmmaking: 16mm In Camera Edit

When three children arrive at an estate sale, they stumble upon an old 16mm camera with a mind of its own.....

This project was my first assignment for Temple University's Filmmaking Class. The assignment called for an in camera edit using one 100 foot reel of Kodak 16mm black and white reversal film. This video is the raw unedited footage from that assignment.

Together with my Filmmaking class partner, Words of Atonement Director of Photography Brett Graybill, and the help of my wonderful friends and family, we tried to tell a story of someone at a crossroads in life. Someone who had lost someone they loved, and had to learn to let go and love again. This someone is Charlie, the 16mm camera. Though concessions were made to the story because of the project's restrictions, I hope you enjoy the story of three kids and their new camera

awesome job! i recognized morgan right away! it's nice to see her doing some more acting! you got great exposures! my favorite shots are when the younger girl opens the box and looks at the camera and the tilt-down shot when morgan is sitting on the bench looking at the camera.

You got to be kidding, what a dynamic duo. Disregarding the great direction, framing, blocking, camera movement, creative idea, fluidity, and continuity this was all done in camera. Take a bow you bastards, took risks that came out looking great. Had my undivided attention until 2:21.

This is by far my favorite of your work. You handled the simplicity really well. Perhaps the medium forced you to think differently. Really enjoyed it.
