Interested in submitting a short video for the "MIT in 3:00" competition, but want to learn more about DIY cinematography? Join MIT CAST Visiting Artist / Visiting Scholar Alberto Angelini (pka Albert Figurt) for a 2-session workshop about the art & craft of guerrilla filmmaking! 

On January 9 we will focus on camerawork (frame composition, point-of-view strategies, basic lightning & sound recording), so that you can start thinking in purely audiovisual terms and arrange your storytelling skills around the very language of moving images.

On January 11 we will dive into the magic of movie editing, exploring the practice of effectively "frankensteining" [read: remixing 'n' reinventing] the very footage you previously captured on the non-linear digital cutting table. 

Bring your own laptop with Premiere Pro installed. 

Open to the entire MIT Community. 

Limited to 18 participants. 

Register here. 

If registration is closed, email mitin3@mit.edu to be added to the waitlist.

About the Competition

Inspired by Antje Ehmann’s and Harun Farocki’s world-wide video project “Labour in a Single Shot,” which explored the subject of work through short video clips, MIT in 3:00 asks competitors — What is your MIT? And can you show it in 3 minutes?
