Past Workshops
The Hollywood Experience
The best, most exhausting week of training you’ll ever have.
In addition to learning the ins and outs of filmmaking, Sneak On The Lot creates a three fold Hollywood experience for all our summer workshop participants.
Hollywood Facility Exposure
Throughout the workshop the participants will be taken to Hollywood facilities and given tours, helping them to understand the big picture of making movies. The facilities visited vary each year. Facilities visited in the past include: Deluxe Film Laboratories, EFilm, Soundelux, Todd A.O., Universal Studios Backlot, Warner Brothers Backlot, among others.
Professional Mentorship On Set
During the workshops all the participants work side-by-side with some of the best Hollywood professionals in the film industry. While on set, each participant rotates through all of the departments: Production, Camera, Lighting, Sound, Art, Make-up, Hair, Wardrobe and Directing. By structuring the experience in this manner, the participants learn by doing while accomplishing the task together with a professional mentor.
Hollywood Cultural Submersion
In addition to seeing the filmmaking part of Hollywood Sneak On The Lot feels it is also important to see a little of the “Hollywood Culture”. Several nights during the week the participants are taken out on the town to see a few different sites. Some of the places visited are the Kodak Theater where the Oscars are broadcast each year, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, City Walk, The El Capitan, and Grauman’s Chinese Theater among other sites.
In-Class Training
From development to distribution we’ll cover it all in four days. You won’t sleep much.
In addition to receiving a great experience on-set with real professionals, the workshop offers unique opportunities to learn the details of every phase of the production. This is accomplished through discussions and practical applications scenarios that will enable the workshop participants to return to their classrooms and help their students to create better films with the resources they have.
The discussions and classroom experiences are tailored to our audience and the particular project. Topics and concepts are chosen from the list below and discussed to better meet the training needs of the participants:
