The project brought together industry veterans, pro-level gear, and a group of creative high school students from across the Poway Unified School District (PUSD). The plan was to write, shoot, edit and premiere a short film in under two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team recognized that COVID had robbed these students of a year of learning and training in production. In this way, maybe they could help these ambitious students make up for some lost time. Their short film is titled <em>The Sidekick, <\/em>and it&#8217;s a really fun film, check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='1170' height='659' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m7R-J-geAXU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-directing-a-solid-script\">Directing a solid script<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Directed by talented filmmaker <strong>Katie Leung,<\/strong> <em>The Sidekick <\/em>follows a young superhero discovering that the extent of his powers goes way beyond manipulating toaster ovens. The goal of the project is to give the kids&#8217; future careers a proverbial shot in the arm in the middle of this pandemic by pairing them with working pros.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Screenwriter <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jeremysvenson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeremy Svenson<\/a><\/strong> teamed up with student writer <strong>Peter Majourau<\/strong> to put together a story with a real narrative arc. The students started their project off learning the ins-and-outs of putting together a compelling superhero story, on a modest budget. The result was a 10-page script that demonstrated character development, internal and external obstacles, and even a surprise twist. You can really see the difference the influence of a working screenwriter makes on a short film when compared to other student films. The script also provided an opportunity to teach the students how to write to the resources you have at hand, including repurposing their studio as the bad guy&#8217;s secret lair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shooting-on-professional-gear\">Shooting on professional gear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the script was done, and the shoot was planned, the team dove into production. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synchronous.tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">James Parker<\/a><\/strong> served the team as the mentor Director of Photography.

Apple\u2019s Final Cut Pro served as the editing platform for the film. Together the students were able to enjoy a buttery-smooth post-production process without even realizing just how unique that is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was no copying of massive amounts of data onto multiple hard drives and passing them around. Nobody was worried about making multiple sets of proxies either. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lumaforge.com\/jellyfish\/mobile\">Jellyfish<\/a> system actually serves over a hundred students. Kallen believes that \u201ctime spent learning is valuable,\u201d and you don\u2019t want to waste it fixing stuff. They also observed that to the students, editing in Final Cut Pro is seamless, it is transparent to them. That allows them to think as artists instead of technicians. We know that in filmmaking there is a balance of the two. But as Ross Kallen pointed out \u201cthe more you can be in the mode of an artist, that\u2019s where the magic happens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped

And what\u2019s a superhero movie without some fun visuals. The student filmmakers learned to shoot on green screen. But more importantly, they got to see how to light to pull a clean key. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lets them learn to do compositing and place VFX over their characters. Of course, the film went from script to screen in under two weeks. So the level of visual effects are representative of that timeframe. But the most important thing was that the students learned to imagine a story that included these elements and see what it takes to execute on that vision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-color-grading\">Color grading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/final-cut-pro\/id424389933?ign-itscg=20200&amp;ign-itsct=rv_FCP_google&amp;mt=12&amp;mttnagencyid=2433&amp;mttncc=US&amp;mttnpid=305109&amp;mttnsiteid=141192&amp;mttnsubad=fcp&amp;mttnsubkw=ag-82276948932-ad-521465914716\">Final Cut Pro<\/a> offers pretty comprehensive color grading tools. The students learned how to color correct and balance their shots right in their NLE. They worked at shot matching so that the audience stays right in the story. They also worked on a look that works really well for the film. It was a huge timesaver to be able to color these sequences in the same app as they did their editing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"696\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/color-grading-fcpx-sidekick.jpg\" alt=\"Color grading on Final Cut Pro X.\" class=\"wp-image-77022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/color-grading-fcpx-sidekick.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/color-grading-fcpx-sidekick-241x120.jpg 241w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/color-grading-fcpx-sidekick-284x141.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/color-grading-fcpx-sidekick-190x94.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/color-grading-fcpx-sidekick-241x120@2x.jpg 482w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/color-grading-fcpx-sidekick-284x141@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/color-grading-fcpx-sidekick-190x94@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-showtime\">Showtime&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast and crew got to invite family and friends to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angelikafilmcenter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Angelika Theater<\/a>.
