Support from Mike Chalmers on Vimeo.
Last Thursday former pupil Michael Chalmers visited us to deliver a fascinating talk about his experiences on the Film and Television degree course at Edinburgh College of Art. Michael is in the honours year and is currently planning his main film, to be shot some time early next year.
He described the structure of the course, the type of assignments, the challenges encountered and screened some of his short films. He also talked about his love of portrait photography, and displayed some of his best work – images that have been featured in magazines. He encouraged his audience to establish a blog and portfolio web site, and post fresh content regularly, to get themselves noticed.
Michael was generous enough to offer the opportunity for our pupils to become involved on the set of his forthcoming film shoot, and also agreed to ask his friends on the Film and Television course if they’d be prepared to extend the same opportunity..
At the start of this article we’ve embedded one of Michael’s films – ‘Support’ – shot on a match day around Easter Road. Michael’s portfolio site is at -
We’d like to thank Michael for taking the time to visit us and inspire our seniors.
