Working with Take Arts
Little Big Bang project, 'Light Waves' (a collaborative project
led by the Somerset RFO Arts Team) and Shepton Mallet Digital
Arts Festival.
Parents/carers at Hillmead
Toddler Group, part of Shepton Mallet Children's Centre, have
been working with Richard to create short films featuring their
children. Participants used digital video cameras to shoot their
film, they also developed some basic editing skills using Final
Cut Pro.
Mums attending the
sessions were able to use video cameras to watch their children
in a completely new light. Using the viewfinder to crop out all
other distractions, focusing only on their child, mums connected
in a new way. The editing process reinforced this new way of seeing
your children. Mums discovered traits and unique qualities within
their children they had not noticed before.
The film featured here
won the participants a bronze award at the Shepton Mallet Digital
Arts Festival 2011 |
