FILM SCHOOL IN A BOX
For their movie, The Confession, filmmakers David Kebo and
Rudi Liden used 11 simultaneously running security cameras to film the action. The resulting 90-minute DVD lets the viewer switch among the different angles to remix the movie
on-the-fly. Not stopping there, the two turned their film noir footage into Film School in a Box, a toolkit for people looking to hone
their film-editing skills, using Final Cut Pro 5 and its multicamera feature.
The Gold Edition ($300) includes a six-camera multiclip of the movie; 11 different camera angles of the film
sorted, binned, and ready to import into Final Cut Pro; a shooting script; a camera reference map;
a bonus angle; and the director's cut of the movie -- all on a 250 GB FireWire drive.
The Platinum Edition ($500) includes the same but bumps the multiclip up to nine cameras,
adds an extra bonus angle, and ships on a 500GB LaCie d2 Big Disk Extreme with USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and FireWire 800 connections (www.filmschoolinabox.net). - Jonathan Seff
