The Association for Visual Arts is sponsoring a 48-hour, community film project, called Capture, that will put local folks behind the camera lens. The footage shot will be given to three editing teams who will create a finished product. Music for the films will be recorded especially for the project by three local bands.
If you are more like Chauncey Gardiner, from the movie “Being There,” and would rather watch than participate, the finished films will be shown at Track 29 at 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29, during a fundraising event for AVA.
Jonathan Taplin, a digital media expert at the University of Southern California, will choose one as the best during a live Internet hookup during the event. Three $800 cash prizes will be given for Best Film Award, Best Footage Award and People’s Choice.
