Capture - A Community Filmmaking Project Is Set For Sept. 16-18

Project Is In Chattanooga And Kansas City

  • Friday, July 29, 2016

Capture - A Community Filmmaking Project is coming Sept. 16-18 in Chattanooga and Kansas City, Mo.

The live events schedule includes: Capture Kickoff Event - Friday, Sept. 16, 5:30 p.m. at Tech Town and Capture Premiere Event - Sunday, Sept. 18, 5:30 p.m. at Cine-Rama. 

Capture is a "fun, creative filmmaking project" that gives everyone the opportunity to be involved.

Capture returns to challenge two cities and four filmmaking teams to each create one final short film, with original music scores, in 24 hours using video provided by citizens in both Chattanooga and Kansas City.

Two teams from each city will compete for the 'Best In Show' film which will be awarded at the Capture Premiere Screening event on Sunday, Sept. 18.

Organizers announce a theme and then participants go out and use their phone or video camera to “capture” film clips that express their interpretation of the theme, and upload them to the Capture site.  

Teams of video editors and musicians compile short films set to original music scores using footage from any or all of the uploaded clips.

The public may attend the premiere, look for their footage in the finished films, and then vote for the team they believe “captures” the theme best.  

The entire community in both cities is invited to be a part of this unique, creative process. Anyone may register to contribute up to five, 30-second video clips. Any device that can capture video can be used, including iPhones, smart-phones, camcorders, DSLR cameras, etc. It’s not about the equipment, it’s all about capturing and collectively sharing videos for the project. 

The Community Video Capture registration is open now at CAPTUREFILMPROJECT.ORG.

The Capture 2016 call for film editors and musicians will be released on Monday.  Keep in the loop for the call via the website, weekly newsletter, and the Capture Facebook page.
