This past Saturday was homecoming at the University of Saint Francis! Our Film Club students were hard at work capturing our second college student, Luis Miguel Parodi, who will be featured in the upcoming documentary. Our Film Club students experienced the atmosphere at a Saint Francis football game as well as learned about Luis's experience as a foreign exchange student from Peru.

Last Saturday, students who are part of our Animation Club began to work on the end credits for the Discovery Academy's newest documentary. In this documentary, our club members explore a day in the life of multiple college students who attend the University of Saint Francis. Each club member has been assigned a college student to animate in their own personal style. These animations will be included at the end of the film.

We can't wait to see what these talented artists come up with!

Last week was the first day for our Animation and Film club for high schoolers, where students learned the basics of the animation software and film equipment. This Saturday the main project for this fall will begin with filmmakers getting to work on the first interview of the day in the life of multiple current University of Saint Francis college students, while animators will begin to create their vision on how these college students will look in their art style.
