HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS – News & Updates

Last weekend HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS student/inmates, with the one on one guidance of our instructors, shot the third episode of ABOVE THE LINE. They constructed the set, put up the lights and ran the cameras.


This episodes special guest was Emmy Award winning composer Walter Murphy. (FAMILY GUY, AMERICAN DAD, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and many others). Our host was Carolyn Fallin, who brought a lot of energy to show. Crew call was at 7:30AM and by 10:00AM, the set and lights were up. All the departments ran very smoothly. By 10:30, our director, Josh Weigel was saying “Action”. The photos below tell more of the story.

The Grip and Electric Department are in full swing.

Camera check out.

Every shoot has to have craft service. Can’t work on an empty stomach!

Putting the finishing touches on everything before the cameras rolled.


Thanks to everyone for a great show! Our student/inmates have now turned their attention to editing. Can’t wait to see the completed episode of this semesters ABOVE THE LINE.

FAVORITE RELATABLE, QUOTES, BIBLE VERSES AND STORIES


Last week at Grace Baptist Church one of the pastors read the verse below. It really hit me, nearly brought me to tears. I want to share this with everyone who works with and supports HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS. Cyndi and I really want to thank you for “doing it for Him.”


“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you? And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, You did it to me.’ – – Matthew 25:35-40

H.I.S. CLASS CONTINUES

During our classes we’ve discussed that for the most part, visual effects are produced in post production but that is not always the case. Sometimes, as in an episode of BONES, the planning started in pre-production, then involved production for a large portion of it and then finally post production put it all together. Click on the link below and see how a “sink hole” was created for this episode of BONES.
