2009 Final Video Screening!!!

jillbeale — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 13:52:21 +0000

¿Can you believe it? The school year is over, and once again BCCP Video students have amazed everyone with the fruits of their imagination and hard work–––plus they’re photogenic to boot!

Here are some pictures from the day of our 2009 Final Screening and BCCP Video Awards. I think to say, “a great time was had by all,” would be a gross understatement. For this Mexican shutterbug, it has been both a privilege and a pleasure; see y’all next year.

Silent film: “Lottery Ticket”

This is the latest of three (mostly) silent short films made at the E-Hall Video Club this Spring. The students watched classic Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton shorts, then came up with their own short film scenarios. Enjoy!
