In October of this year, WeMakeMedia were proud to be involved in the Velocity Festival of Digital Culture which took place throughout the Morecambe Bay area. Hosted by folly, It was an ambitious 3 week festival of exhibitions, events and activities, bringing some of the very best technology-driven creative practice to the area.
Our contribution to the festival was the production of a short film titled A Frantic Shot Torn, which was screened alongside other international short films at the Halloween Short Film Night in Carnforth.
Throughout 2007, we worked with folly to deliver a series of free pocket movie-making workshops at Carnforth Station in Lancashire. For Halloween we embarked on something a little bit different. Armed with a single Canon DV camera, and working from a script by North West writer Steve Jansen, we worked intensively for 3 hours with workshop participants to create something ghoulish out of the digital ether that casts a new light on the after-life.
You can watch the film right here on our website, or over at folly’s YouTube channel.
The festival proved to be a fantastic success with over 20,000 people visiting and taking part. You can read some more of the feedback and stats over on the folly website. We’re looking forward to working with folly again in 2008, and wish them continued success!
