Short. Sweet. Film Fest. Community Workshop: DSLR Filmmaking w/ Donn R. Nottage
by Brian Bowers 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Want to get started making films, but are a little intimidated by all of the technical details of using a camera? Do you own a DSLR, but aren't sure how to use it to get the shots you see in your head? Are you afraid to use your camera to shoot in manual mode because you don't know much about exposure, ISO, or how to use all those buttons, menus, or settings? Veteran filmmaker and photographer Donn R. Nottage demystifies your DSLR camera and breaks down the basics of using it to make movies in this community workshop from Short. Sweet. Film Fest <http://shortsweetfilmfest.com>. and Gorilla Film School <http://gorillafilmschool.com>. This introductory level workshop will teach you the basics of DSLR filmmaking including: - The basics of image exposure: ISO, aperture, and shutter speed - Some of the standard settings used in filmmaking--why they're standard, and how to set them up on a DSLR - How lens speed and focal length affect exposure and perspective - Basic principles of cinematography and how they specifically apply to shooting on a DSLR - Basic settings and functions that all DSLR filmmakers should understand on their own cameras - And more! Attendees are encouraged to bring in their own DSLR cameras so they can see how many of the functions, settings, and topics can be directly applied to their own camera. The workshop will be taught by Cleveland filmmaker and photographer Donn R. Nottage. Donn R. Nottage has been actively involved in virtually every facet of independent film for many years. He is a cinematographer, actor, director, writer, special make-up effects artist, and professional photographer. He and his wife Renee are eight-time 48HFP veterans, and head up “Velvet Buck Productions,” which has won an array of awards in multiple categories, including Best Film in the inaugural year of the Cleveland 48 Hour Horror Film project. He’s the co-director and cinematographer of Mikhail Tot’s crime comedy feature film, “In Guns We Trust,” and has recently released the film noir feature, “The Final Goodbye,” which he also co-directed and shot. He can be seen in numerous indie films, web, and TV series, including the Smithsonian Channel’s WWII historical series, “Hell Below.” The workshop will take place in the Valencia Conference Room in The Metropolitan at the 9. There will be a 90 minute break for lunch (not included in registration fee). Attendees are encouraged to eat right in the 9's full service bar/restaurant. All workshops are filmed for future content and marketing purposes, and all attendees are required to sign a media release. Short. Sweet. Community Workshop: Intro to DSLR Filmmaking with Donn R.

Apply to participate in the BorderLight Fringe...Cleveland’s own (and Cleveland-grown) "fringe festival," to take place July 25-28, 2019. https://www.borderlightcle.org/about-the-fringe/ Selected companies will self-produce their shows in traditional and non-traditional venues on the “fringe” of the BorderLight Festival of International Theatre, energizing and activating the festival with fresh and emerging voices. BorderLight Fringe programming will run concurrently with the BorderLight Festival’s international touring work, collaborations between Cleveland companies and visiting international artists, and free public events—all to take place in downtown Cleveland, July 25-28, 2019. (Yup, that’s right. Mark your calendar.) Deadline to apply is December 15, 2018. THE SELECTION PROCESS BorderLight Fringe is looking for everything from devised creations to musical adaptations; from experimental opera to new circus; from physical theatre, to original scripts, to interactive wandering shows, to reimagined classical texts…and everything in between. The inaugural BorderLight Fringe will use a juried selection process—and the application is the first step. Here’s what we’re looking for: * Surprise, innovation, and creative risk-taking in the proposed work * Artistic quality and style of the proposed work and/or work samples * Feasibility of your show’s technical requirements within the Fringe format * Enthusiasm and capacity for self-promotion * Preference for shows 45-60 minutes in length; no shows longer than 90 minutes * An expressed interest in the work of others, being part of the Festival community, and embracing the collaborative spirit of the inaugural BorderLight Festival HOW IT WORKS Selected participants will pay a production fee*, in exchange for a 70/30 box office split of all ticket sales (artists take home 70% of revenue). BorderLight provides venue, insurance, basic lighting and sound equipment, some technical support, front of house, as well as publicity for the festival. Perhaps you are a new or emerging artist, and don’t have extensive materials to share – we still want to hear from you. The spirit of the Fringe is one of risk-taking and development, and we are looking to program diverse works that represent a wide range of artistic styles, modes, and points of view. Or perhaps you're a busker, street performer, or pop-up musician who doesn't need a venue space, but is looking for a way to get involved - we'd love to hear from you as well!

Dancers perform with Parma Symphony Orchestra this Sunday!
by Regina Pietraroia 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

*Dancers Partner with Parma Symphony Orchestra * *for Special Holiday Concert* (North Royalton and Parma Heights, Ohio) – Local dancers from Dance Arts by Regina in North Royalton are honored to be performing with the Parma Symphony Orchestra during their 50th Anniversary Holiday Concert at Valley Forge High School on Sunday December 2nd at 3:00 p.m., as the two organizations bring to life “The Nutcracker Suite.” This collaboration came about after North Royalton resident, Kristin Egan, began dropping into adult classes at Dance Arts and attending the studio’s many community performances. Ms. Egan is a member of the orchestra’s Board of Directors and has been playing flute with them for many years. “Playing Tchaikovsky’s Suite with the Parma Symphony Orchestra has always brought to mind fond memories of watching the ballet,” she says. When she approached Dance Arts’ director, Regina Pietraroia, about the idea, Ms. Pietraroia was ecstatic: “As a dancer, there is nothing more powerful than feeling the vibrations of the music you are dancing to, and the energy from the musicians. It’s an incredible opportunity for my young students to experience that.” The concert is also special in that it represents not only the 50th anniversary of the orchestra, but also the 40th anniversary of the leadership of their music director, Dr. Randolph P. Laycock. Dance Arts’ student performers will be led by professional dancers Mr. Ethan Michael Lee and Miss Regina Pietraroia. General admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens. Family passes of $20 are available for families of up to 2 adults and their children. All tickets are available at the door beginning at 2:30 PM. *Regina Pietraroia* *Artistic Director**, Dance Arts by Regina* 10670 Royalton Road N Royalton, OH 44133 440-230-9018 www.danceartsbyregina.com Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/danceartsbyregina> and Instagram <http://www.instagram.com/danceartsbyregina>
