Since 2001, Flash Frame Film & Video Network has hosted dozens of hands on workshops in collaboration with emerging and established filmmakers, writers, producers, actors, and other industry professionals. Flash Frame believes in fostering a learning environment and offering opportunities to artists from all walks of life.
Acting for the Camera – 2018
Actor Dennis Dubinsky led this workshop highlighting the differences between theatre
film acting; technical aspects of how a film is shot; types of shots; continuity; terminology; blocking; and the audition process.
360 Filmmaking – 2018
This 5-week 360 ̊ Virtual Reality workshop taught young and emerging filmmakers how to shoor 360 video with Go-Pro Fusion, record ambisonic sound, stitch the 2 camera footage together into a seamless single frame and edit a 360 VR production for the Oculus Rift and post it to Youtube. Final productions were presented at the 2017 Vox Popular Media Arts Festival.
Introduction to Arduino – 2018
This hands-on introductory workshop led by multidisciplinary artist Riaz Mehmood taught about Arduino, an open-source electronics board used by hobbyists, artists, students and tinkerers all around the world to make interactive electronics projects. Arduino accepts a wide variety of sensors as input like touch, heat, motion, sound, wind, etc., to collect information from its physical environment. In turn, this information can be used to control various outputs (actuators) like lights, music, motors, robots, etc.
