Short time. Short film. Great minds. Great results.

Just 40 minutes, a stimulus, a smart phone and a group of brilliant young minds produces this...


This video was produced by a group of ISB Middle and High School students at our recent devising weekend lead by Gemma Paintin from the performance company Action Hero. Starting with Bob Dylan's A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall the students devised together in various ways, resulting in a wealth of quality performance material being produced.

I find it incredible that the students could have created the concept for this film, planned and shot it in various locations, recorded and edited the voiceover and then cut the whole thing together in just 40 minutes, using only one smart phone.

I love that we have that much technological power in our hands, but it is to the credit of the students that they know how to use it to this capacity.
