Super Hero Day draws near!

Have you ever jumped the Heroic Hurdles in a Cape of Courage? Or dodged the Dodgeball of Destiny to reach the Gate of the Greats? Then Super Hero Day could be all the bank holiday fun you need, from the young people of the Shout Action Project.

Shout Action is a group of around 15 young film makers from New Mills, and they are fundraising for their next film-making project. With help from High Peak Community Arts they have already launched a Crowdfunder campaign on www.crowdfunder.co.uk, and this event will contribute to their target to raise money for a professional film maker to help them on their next project.

Super Hero Day will appear at New Mills Primary School on Saturday 4th May from 11am – 3pm. Come along to take part in all things Super Hero; watch their first film ‘Super Chowder’, have your fantasy portrait taken; compete in the fancy dress competition (Super Heroes only, please) and try your skills on the assault course. There will be refreshments on sale and a special guest appearance from The Evil Hunicorn himself. Free entry with activities priced from 50p – £2 (or get the all inclusive ticket for £4, or £10 family ticket!). For more information call Sophie at High Peak Community Arts on 01663 744 516

Shout Action – the results!

So after many weeks of planning, writing, shooting, editing and much more – here is the finished film:

Super Chowder!

On Monday evenings until June 25th we are writing and shooting a film at Spring Bank Arts Centre, with help from Matt Kowalczuk (Community Arts Northwest) and some young drama students from New Mills School.

At the intro session people learnt some technical skills and tried their first acting to camera…

A second group are joining from Monday 14th May to work on the soundtrack:

The group at Revival Church will be writing, recording and producing a sound track for the film, and the two groups will stay in touch, sharing material via the webtool, mentioned above, ‘Prezi’.

How to use Prezi:  Click on the play arrow to load the Prezi and then zoom in and out with the  -  and  +  on the righthand side; drag it with the mouse and click on items that look interesting.  You can also use the   <  and  >  arrows to move through the Prezi in a more traditional way.
