About This Class:
"The camera can be an important partner and learning tool for actors. If you struggle with confidence in front of the camera or are you mainly a theatre trained actor who wants more experience in front of the camera, this is a great class for you!" -- Matt Lagle - BooneDogVideo.com
Curriculum:
This is an advanced On Camera Acting Class. It's called a Web Series class because this acting course is centered around the creation of a web series.
This web series is being written by WCT Playwrights for this project, and the characters written will suit the cast.
As stated above, participation in this class is determined through an audition process, to submit your audition you will need to have on-camera footage of yourself, or if you have one, a link to your reel. *Please note that as an alternative you can self-tape audition material of your choosing for your audition submission.
WCT Company Members will be given priority, but anyone interested in participating is encouraged to audition!
A few more details about this course:
- Each episode will be 7-10 minutes in length and we anticipate shooting 4-5 episodes.
- ALL actors are guaranteed near equal on-camera time.
- ALL actors are required to attend all classes. The reason for this is the same as if you were hired to act in a professional on-camera project: we can't shoot without you!
- ALL actors will double as technicians. When not on camera, actors will step in as crew. You will learn to help with lights, sound, continuity, wardrobe, make-up etc...
The structure of the course:
- The first 3 to 4 classes will be spent reading scripts, incorporating re-writes, rehearsing, introducting tech jobs and practicing them, and on general organization.
- The second 4 weeks will be spent shooting episodes on location in Ossining. (Indoor and outdoor locations.)
- All actors will receive a copy of the finished project (on USB) at the "viewing party", or at another time if you cannot attend.
- There is a "viewing party" scheduled for August 10th at 7:00pm (that date may change) Post production takes time...
