From High School Summer Camp to Cinematographer for the Stars

Author : Karen Thurm Safran

Jeremy Jackson, a student at the Los Angeles County High School
for the Arts, enrolled in a Digital Video Production summer
course at iD Tech Camps UCLA location. At this weeklong,
hands-on technology summer program for ages 7-17 located at
universities nationwide, Jeremy developed an understanding for
shooting, editing, and creating special effects using Adobe
software.

Jeremy's father, an animator for Disney, inspired his son at a
young age with a passion for filmmaking and CGI (Computer
Generated Imagery). Since perfecting his skills at camp, Jeremy
attends Hollywood movie premieres as the cinematographer for 16
year-old Fred Medill, the host of "Fred TV." A series with
informative interviews of celebrities in motion pictures and
television, and star athletes, "Fred TV" has taken Hollywood by
storm. Jeremy can be seen at many Hollywood premieres behind the
camera as Fred interviews celebrities.

While having used Adobe® software for school projects, Jeremy
never used Adobe Photoshop® and Adobe After Effects® to create
special effects for a movie until attending iD Tech Camps. Along
with classmates, Jeremy created high-end special effects and
learned advanced compositing and cinematography. Many of the
effects that they created have been used in popular Hollywood
movies. While a completely new program for Jeremy, After Effects
quickly became a favorite.

"You can do everything with After Effects, from making it rain
to making a guy freeze in mid-air," said Jeremy while describing
his camp movie The Majority Report- A movie about the powers of
good vs. evil. Jeremy and his classmates used an effect which
caused three fleeing men to freeze in mid-air, before resuming
running.

During camp, Jeremy's movie premiered at Family Showcase.
"Everyone watching the movie was very impressed by the quality
of the special effects my son's group was able to create in just
one week," said Jeremy's mom, Meredith Jackson. "The movie was a
hit and I think we've watched it 100 times since then!"

Students like Jeremy use digitized footage in Adobe After
Effects to add special effects like chroma key. They composited
multiple layers of video to give the footage different effects.
The software is so user-friendly that even a teenage camper like
Jeremy can easily add impressive lasers and fire using plug-ins.

"It's exciting teaching campers how to composite layers within
their digital movie," said Jeremy's instructor, Kevin Painchaud,
owner of a Hollywood-based production company whose movie
"NTV-1" had a sellout crowd for their screening at the Hollywood
Film Festival. "Jeremy's passion for filmmaking poured out of
him each day, inside and outside of the classroom. He just
really wanted to learn everything there was to know about
filmmaking and caught on very quickly," said Mr. Painchaud. It
looks like the next Steven Spielberg may have just gotten his
start!

As for now, Jeremy continues to accompany Fred to Hollywood
premieres, getting experience shooting the stars. Someday he
hopes to be a Cinematographer for motion pictures, just like his
mentor from camp, Mr. Painchaud.
