Tuesday, September 29Getting Your Message Out: Video for Scientists and NGOs
Tuesday, 4:00 - 5:00 PM, Moose 2 Workshop Room You know your audience, and you think video might be best way to reach them. But how do you craft your message and deliver it in a way that engages your audience and moves them to action? Whether you’re a scientist keen on public outreach, a small NGO considering a foray into video advocacy, or an international NGO with big communication goals, creative short films can help you reach your audience. In this workshop, we’ll help scientists, NGOs, and independent media producers tackle that all-important question – how do you work together to get the message out?

Giant Screen Filmmaking for Experts
Wednesday 3:00 - 4:00, Moose 2 Workshop Room
Phil Streather has been producing films for the giant screen (IMAX) for 20 years, including JHWFF award winner Bugs! 3D. In this advanced work shop he explains the fundamental differences between making films for this medium over any other. Choice of technology is an important factor in the images holding up on a screen 100ft wide by 70ft tall; BUT it's also the approach to story, the framing and the pacing that make them so different from TV or theatrical, requiring a particular mindset in development, production and post. Giant screen films can make money. Bugs! has grossed over $50m and is still playing around the world 12 years after release. Recent films include Hubble ($65m), Born to Be Wild ($38m), Under the Sea ($50m). Some do very badly. What is the secret sauce? Come to this session where Phil will share, tips, tricks and budgets!
