Filmmaking at the Research Commons
Title
Introducing a new space to the Research Commons
Welcome to the Filmmaker Studio, a bookable workspace for planning, shooting, and editing video projects as well as teaching. The studio area includes:
8' X 9' wall mounted backdrop system with white, charcoal, and green screen options. Personalized backdrops can also be used.
Softbox lighting kit
Tripods and smartphone rigs
Microphones for iPhone and Android devices
Teleprompter
DJI OM4 Gimble
58 mm telephoto lens and with mount for smartphone
1.33x anamorphic lens with mount for smartphone
In developing the studio, we have chosen to leverage the image and video capture technology that everyone is most familiar with - the smartphone in their pocket - rather than specialized camcorders in order to minimize barriers to use. Thus the peripheral technologies listed above are aimed specifically at smartphone users, while the workshops and general assistance we provide focus on proficiency in applying the language and techniques of film to their use.
The Filmmaker's Studio at the Harriet Irving Library Research Commons serves as a testament to the enduring passion for storytelling that has thrived within the heart of New Brunswick. By celebrating the interconnectedness of filmmaking in New Brunswick, Fredericton, and UNB, this space offers as inspiring environment for students, scholars, and film enthusiasts alike to explore, collaborate, and bring their own cinematic visions to life.
