NSNV Summer Camp Short Films (1994)

A collection of short videos made in the summer of 1994, at a computer camp/video workshop at the New School of Northern Virginia. The small and pixelated viewing screen is from the original VHS, presumably presented this way due to the fact computer editing was in it's infancy, and done to reduce file size. Clip 1: Despite being credited to me, I had little to do with this short film. One of the counselors called me over and had me choose photos from the younger group's outing and do a voiceover for a baseball story, while showing me one of the programs. I did it on the fly and in one take. Clips 2-3: No idea. Clip 4: The production from the younger group. Clip 5: The production from my group; the theme was to originally be science fiction (as chosen by the school) with a convoluted story in which someone would use a bar of Irish Spring soap and turn into a fern tree. After a day or two of shooting, everyone thought it was lame and it was changed to a thriller/mystery of sorts. I only made a small cameo in the first scene and was behind the camera or directing for the remaining scenes. Quite prophetic.
