Choreographing Pre Production: Thinking from the edit backwards,

How to turn a final image into a film. 

Cari Ann Shim Sham*, an award winning dance film specialist in cinema, video art and installation discusses how to approach your work from back to front in pre production to prepare for production.  We will work backwards from concept/visual ideas to create a tagline for your film, craft your narrative arc, visualize your idea through storyboarding, shot lists, set up lists and framing devices for dance and choreography to help you plan for and execute your shoot. Her very own storyboarding, shot list, setups and journals will be shared along with excerpts of her film work.

Post Production as Choreography: The ART of the EDIT:

Editorial Strategies when Cutting for the Dancing Camera

Cari Ann Shim Sham* will discuss the art of strategizing the edit by discussing the directors attachment to footage, how to watch and what to look for in your footage, finding your rhythm in the edit, and finding a visual through line in your edit to help progress your narrative. Through examining her processes in the creation of some of her films, Are you for real?, SAND, Chicken Boy, Two Seconds After Laughter and her video installation for a live dancer on stage, Powder Cari Ann will end upon the consideration of how we as choreographers know "when to say when" in dance film making and how the camera and the edit can also be useful knowledge in making these decisions of what to keep and what to cut in making dance for the proscenium.
