Here is a re-cap of the last 5 days while we have been on set!
Day 2: God is the Divine Architect
 |
| Carl Fougerousee reading from Genesis(the creation Narrative) |
During our morning session, we were blessed to have Carl start off Day 2. Carl Fougerousse is a professor at SCAD in Savannah. He is currently teaching Foundation studies. Carl opened our minds to see how God is in every detail throughout history in architecture, art, math, and music. He unpacked Genesis(The Creation) and John 1 using architecture, art, and music. The film camp students were able to apply what they learned from Carl to the production of The Gardening Man. The 2nd half of the day was spent story boarding. The students took the script and drew out each scene. Day 2=success!
Day 3: Scene One, Take One, and ACTION!
We are started our morning at the studio and gathered everything we needed to go on location and start filming. It was a very HOT (94 degrees), but beautiful Monday morning. Our first location was at Jones & Hall Nursery(we are incredibly grateful for letting borrow their nursery and plants). Lowell(the main character played by Duke Snow) is a shy and fearful fella. A social worker brings him to his new job(at the nursery) and he learns from his boss what his job entails
Day 4: "Go About Your Frisbee"
Yup it's Florida weather and we filmed on a sunny Tuesday in 90+ degree weather! Today we filmed the scene that makes Lowell known around campus. Megan is vlogging and not paying attention to her surroundings. She accidently bumps into the wheelbarrow, which Lowell his hiding behind. He is scared when Megan bumps into his wheelbarrow and runs away. While running away he passes through a Frisbee game and gets hit in the chest. As he gets up and scurries away he yells out to the boys "Go about your Frisbee." Megan captures the whole incident on her iPhone. She posts her vlog and it goes viral all over campus! Lowell becomes known as the Frisbee guy...
Day 5: Taming the Water Hose:
With having a productive day of filming on Tuesday(day 4), we had the confidence we needed to accomplish the task at hand... Taming the Water Hose! This was going to be our last day outside filming, so we knew we had a lot to get done. The scene we were focusing on, was Lowell and a group of guys taming his water hose that had taken on a life of it's own! I can't tell you what happens in this scene, because the movie will be ruined! You will have to join us at our Film
premier(TBA)!
Day 6: Finding Redemption in the Arts.
We were able to accomplish all the filming that had to be done outside on Wednesday(day 5). We started off the camp with Titus Nixon talking to the students about Finding Redemption in the Arts. The question he posed, " Does this(any art form) compromise my relationship with God? He showed the students how important it is in the arts to help lead people to Christ, not away from Him.
It was a great start to the day! As the day went on, the students began to learn about editing and adding in audio. They also began to film the scenes that needed to be shot inside. The students were grateful to be back in the studio and out of the hot weather. With 2 days left, they are excited to finish filming and seeing the finish product.
