A series of short films centering dance and movement, presented in partnership with Velocity Dance Center! Strictly Seattle Frame By Frame A showcase of dance films made by participants in Frame by Frame, Velocity Dance Centers dance film intensive offered as part of their Strictly Seattle summer festival, led by KT Niehoff.
Part of Velocitys signature summer intensive Strictly Seattle, Frame by Frame is a three-week workshop that takes the new dance filmmaker through every step of the process as they create their own short dance film. Participants learn the necessary preparatory elements of creating a film sound and choreographic elements, storyboarding, location scouting, styling, and rehearsing material through the perspective of the cameras lens. Each student then shoots a 2.5 min film with a professional cinematographer, learning onset vernacular and how to effectively convey their directorial vision to their cameraperson. In the final stages, students learn basic editing skills, with a professional editor, director and composer available as mentors.

1 Min Dance Film Challenge The Dance / Film Residency is offered by Northwest Film Forum and Velocity Dance Center to an artistic team selected through this years Dance Film Challenge. Teams and individuals were invited to submit one dance film up to 60 seconds in length. The prompt for this years dance film challenge is power-sharing.
We encouraged artists to use the tools they have: these could be shot/edited on your phone, in the rehearsal studio, on the street, in your room. The value is placed not on the expensive equipment + software you can access, but how you use the instruments and materials you have available.
Audience votes will determine which team/individual receives the residency, which comprises 20 hours of rehearsal space at Velocity and a matinée slot for an open rehearsal/exhibition/screening at NWFF!
