Worthington Christian Film Club shoots book trailer

The Worthington Christian Film Club is one of many student-led clubs at the high school and consists of members: Jacob Brammer, Andrew Chope, Zach Hastings, Alaidrian Mabry, Jared McLean, and Wesley Murray and advised by Mr. David Stoll.  Recently the team went on location to Creekside Event Center in Gahanna, Ohio to film a book trailer for fellow club member and novelist, Alaidrian Mabry.  

During one of the regularly scheduled club meetings, Stoll observed Mabry accessing a personalized website.  When asked about this website, Mabry explained that Wattpad is used for writing and sharing stories.  Stoll presented the idea to the club to shoot a short book trailer to help market Mabry’s works.  Once the idea was accepted, the group met for several weeks to plan out the shoot.  Once the location was identified, contacts were made to obtain permission to film at Creekside, using the foyer, the elevator and underground parking garage.

One week prior to the shoot, Mike Edwards, (WC Class of ’91) owner of 5 Stones Group, met with the club to help finalize the shoot.  Edwards provided the group with professional insight that enriched the learning experience immensely.  In addition, Mike Anthony, (WC Class of ’90) owner of Chili Verde, graciously helped underwrite a portion of this special planning session. 

On Saturday, May 16 the club members met at Creekside for the film shoot with lighting, tripods, sound equipment, cameras and snacks, courtesy of WC parent, Kristen Hastings. 

Martina Holbrook, (WC Class of ’15) joined the crew as “Kingsley,” the main character in the story Mid-Nights.  Andrew Chope acted as “Derek,” the secondary character.  The budgeted time limit was three hours, but Edwards, a seasoned film veteran, warned that film shoots always take longer than anticipated.  Edward’s caution proved true.  Members of a wedding party repeatedly accessed the elevator and interrupted the scenes in process.  Several discretionary scenes had to be cut from the story board to finish the shoot.

Wesley Murray, (WC Class of ’15) set up all of the camera shots and lighting for each scene.  Murray also completed the post-edit and created the final trailer: https://youtu.be/8GF2YP33rN0.

Murray’s expertise will be greatly missed next year.  In addition, Andrew Chope and Jacob Brammer both plan to attend Delaware career center next year, so if any high school students have an interest in joining film club, please contact Mr. Stoll at dstoll@worthingtonchristian.com.

Synesthesia

Senior, Natalie Rohrig posseses a rare condition called, Synesthesia.  Synesthesia is when people can taste colors, or associate colors with words.  As Natalie mentions, most people do not even know they have this condition until they hear about someone else having it.  It becomes part of their daily lives. Natalie associates colors with people, words, and numbers.  She sees waves and forms and music and different color patterns depending on the person and the length of time she has known them.  Natalie enjoys her Synesthesia and likes that it makes her unique.
