SHOWCASE: “Light” Film Projects | FilmingLife® ArtHouse
The May / June theme for our ArtHouse Film Project was led by FilmingLife® Founder Courtney Holmes and was all about LIGHT.
It’s very easy as filmmakers, and specifically family filmmakers, to get stuck in a rut of using just one type of light (often the easiest or prettiest) for our films. Courtney challenged our members to try and think outside the box when it came to the types of light they use for their films, but also in how they use light in their film and using light to tell a story. This really pushed our members but I think you’ll agree, the results were well worth it!
All ArtHouse themes are broken in to 2 levels. For the LIGHT theme the levels were defined as follows -
For Level One LIGHT films we asked our members to create a short film that included four types of light: rim light, hard light, soft light, and dappled light.
For Level Two LIGHT films we asked members to create a short film using light to tell a story.
As always the films that were submitted & created by our members were just amazing, and we’re so pleased to present them to you today…
The Educator’s Choice Award is chosen by the Lead Educator of the film project as those that fully embody the spirit of the FilmingLife® ArtHouse, and are noted for their storytelling, creativity and unique interpretation of the theme.

What Courtney said about Leah's film -
”It can be so challenging to tell a story with light, but the concept that Leah came up with for her film worked beautifully. I could feel the dream that the child was having with the tight shots, blur, and light play with the water. The story and use of light was well executed throughout the film, well done Leah!”
