TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 Student filmmakers got the chance to learn from industry professionals during this year’s YellowHammer Film Festival<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival, which started in 2021, is a free experience for high school and college filmmakers to showcase their work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s really an opportunity for students to learn about what’s going on in the industry and the way things work in the field,” said Chris Stagl, co-director for the Yellowhammer Film Festival. “To really learn about what their peers are up to because the entire exhibition is made of student films.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reanna Thompson, a recent Troy graduate, has participated in two films herself. This year she submitted a music video named “Tonight You Are Mine.” It’s a result of a tedious filming and editing process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Writing out every single scene deciding like a lil a second to this mil a second in the music video,” Thompson said. “Where we wanted this to start and this camera angle. It’s really like going through your script and\/or music’s self and figuring out where you want everything to be and writing it out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students also learned from leading industry professionals who have real-world experience in film and ad animation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is really an untapped resource we do at Troy University every year,” Stagl said. I would truly like to encourage all the students, not just art and design students but all students, to come and be apart of the YellowHammer Film Festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s YellowHammer Film Festival was held in person at Troy University and was also available via Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
