SUMMER PRODUCTION IN ACTION PROGRam - THE COLLECTOR at flashpoint academy
THE COLLECTOR - They say a collector grows up when he finally appreciates those things he cannot collect… In the last hours of his life, an old man completes his collection of butterflies and reminisces about his earliest collections only to come to the realization that the things worth collecting are uncollectible.

"Today I observed the production of The Collector. I witnessed firsthand the massive amount of coordination that it takes to create just a five minute short film. To my surprise, at least 25 people had their hands on this project. Perhaps even more astonishing, was the fact that this one week of shooting was preceded by three weeks of pre-production work and will be followed by another three weeks of post-production editing, computer graphics, sound editing, etc. Two months of dedicated labor for a five minute picture!
It was just my first day of observing on set and I feel like I have already captured a great understanding of what takes place behind the scenes. Everyone specializes in a single aspect of the production and eventually all of their individual efforts will seamlessly tie together into a single work of art. I really look forward to seeing the final product!"
