Audio Transcription Mr. Luchs: It's a competition between hundreds of different schools and thousands of students. Student: It had to be local folklore. Student: It was this guy that was exiled in like the mid*-1800s to like Fremont Island. Student: I think that that'd make a pretty good ghost story. Mr. Luchs: You spend those all-nighters making that color palette just right. That's the small details that separates you from, you know, sixth, seventh place or even two hundredth place. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. They are talented students being recognized on the world stage because of their passion for filmmaking and their amazing skills in storytelling. On this episode of the Supercast, meet students in the Riverton High School video production class who just walked away with second place in an international video competition as part of the student television network. Find out how a short horror film they produced is getting rave reviews and critical acclaim. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: We're here at Riverton High School talking with students from the video production program. Introduce yourself, tell us what grade you're in, and what drew you to this program. Why did you want to be part of this? Brennan Staggs: Hello, I'm Brennan Staggs and I'm a sophomore and the thing that drew me into this program was the — I've always been into film so I think film is pretty cool. Rockwood Inkley: My name is Rockwood Inkley or Rocky and I'm also sophomore. The thing that drew me into this is I just, I love learning new types of art so I guess I saw this and thought it looked cool so I signed up. Amden Olson: Hi, I'm Amden Olson. I'm a sophomore and the thing that drew me to this is I've been doing photography for about two and a half years. I run an automotive photography business where we just started doing video so doing this helps me advance in my career and hopefully the video will be a pilot. Scott Nelson: Hello guys, I'm Scott Nelson and what drew me to this class was I've always wanted to be a filmmaker when I was a child and I saw that Riverton had video classes and thought it was really exciting. Anthony Godfrey: So tell me what it's like being in this class right now. What are some of the things you've learned and what you love most about it? Student: I think I've learned mostly on how to make better videos on film and that's what I love about it. Student: My favorite thing in this class is using Premiere Pro and post-production. I find it fascinating. Student: I enjoy this class because it has helped me learn more about video composition, which is some of the things that clients really like. If you don't have good composition you're not going to get clients. Student: I love this class because it lets me be creative in the morning and I've learned how to use the equipment and how to edit better. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about the competition that you just won, the international competition that you just won and what that's all about and what you made that allowed you to win this competition. Student: This was a horror fest so we had to make a one-minute horror short film. It had to be local folklore so we spent a while, me and Brennan, spent a while looking for local folklore and we came across this story from the 1860s. Student: Yeah, around the mid-1800s. It was a, what was his name? Jean Baptist. It was this guy that was exiled in the mid-1800s to Fremont Island, I believe. Student: One of the islands in Salt Lake. He was a grave robber and he got sent to the island and they found a skeleton, I think, at the base of the Jordan River with the words "grave robber" in the skull and it was chained and shackled which they didn't send him to the island chained and shackled. So I thought that'd make a pretty good ghost story. Anthony Godfrey: Let's ask your teacher to introduce himself and tell us a little bit about the competition. Mr. Luchs: My name is Mr. Luchs. This is my fourth year at Riverton High School. I'm the video productions teacher and I love it. Anthony Godfrey: So tell me about the competition, what's involved and who were they up against? ...
