Project' s History: The Carmel Film Forum premiered in August, 2017 with " Hollywood Comes to Carmel." Thanks to partnerships with the Carmel Clay Public Library, Indy Film Fest, Film Indy, Indiana Filmmakers Network, SoHo Cafe & Gallery, and Roberts Camera, there was a great turnout and a lively weekend of discussion about the art and business of filmmaking in Indiana. Due to the success of the 2017 Forum, in September we held a " Filmmaking 101 " workshop at the Carmel Clay Library' s Digital Media Lab, which filled quickly and drew participants from the Carmel community and surrounding areas. For the 2018 grant, we produced " Focus On Filmmaking", which featured a music video production workshop, a screenwriting class, table reads with local actors, filmmaker interviews, and screenings. In 2019, we produced " Making the Big Picture: Preproduction, and Crowdfunding," which highlighted a table -read with local actors reading a feature screenplay. The participants received a printed curriculum and helped develop the film' s log line and tag line to be used in the film' s marketing materials. Rachel Murphy, a professional line producer, showed DocuSign Envelope ID: AEF88DE6-E12A-4394-AE83-A1C012CE171F participants how to break down a film' s budget, using the feature screenplay as an example. In the evening, Ms. Murphy hosted a screening of Midwest female filmmakers and conducted filmmaker Q&As. Due to the COVID- 19 ( coronavirus) pandemic, The " 2020 Carmel Film Forum: Stop Motion Animation Celebration" was converted from an in -person hands- on stop motion animation workshop, held at the CCPL, to a two -session webinar, hosted on CCPL' s ZOOM account. The webinar featured professional animator, Lisa Barcy, streaming from Chicago, who taught animation techniques employing drawing, paper cut- outs, and 3D objects. A program/ curriculum was emailed to the participants, along with a list of the tools, software, and supplies needed for the workshop. The participants were encouraged to make an animated clip, using the techniques demonstrated in the program and upload their clips to be judged. During the screening of the clips, Lisa Barcy made comments about the positive use of animation techniques used in each film. Lisa announced the winner of the stop motion animation contest, who was awarded a license to a copy of the Dragonframe professional stop motion animation software, a $ 300 value. A retrospective of Lisa Barcy' s animation work was watched, and a Q&A with Lisa was conducted. Participants willingly embraced using the ZOOM webinar format in lieu of a hands- on event held at the CCPL, and the ZOOM webinar format allowed participants from outside Indiana to take part and learn about Carmel' s support for the arts and filmmakers. Economic and Cultural Impact: Through partnerships with arts and civic organizations, enthusiasm for filmmaking in Carmel and the surrounding communities is encouraged and Carmel is recognized for its contribution to the art of filmmaking. Aspiring directors, producers, and screenwriters can network and find support for their projects. Patrons of the Carmel Clay Public Library who love seeing films can learn more about the aspects of filmmaking by attending the workshops. Project Management and Promotion: A team of volunteers and a small paid staff will manage the project during the workshop. A website will be created for the forum that will list the project' s goals and objectives. A printed program containing the schedule, the project' s partners, and the presenters' biographies will be handed out at the workshop. DocuSign Envelope ID: AEF88DE6-E12A-4394-AE83-A1C012CE171F A media release will be designed and sent to public officials, newspapers, radio/ television stations, and websites that promote cultural events in Indiana. Our partnering organizations will be asked to share the information with their email lists and social media outlets. The workshop will be documented and posted on social media, as well as Moriarty Media's Carmel Film Forum website. Project Evaluation: The participants will receive a questionnaire with the following questions. How did you find out about the 2021 Carmel Film Forum? ( Circle all that apply) Email/ social media/ internet/ newspaper/ television/ radio/ poster/ friend/ other Did the 2021 Carmel Film Forum broaden your knowledge about film production?

I have been extremely impressed with James and his vision for the Carmel Film Forum, and I have seen firsthand the impact it has. He does an exceptional job at engaging his audience and providing an experience that would otherwise simply not exist in our community. James Moriarty is an asset to our local arts community and I have no doubt that he will deliver another impactful, education and inspiring event in 2021, Sincerely, Chris Overpeck Indy Film Fast H Board President DocuSign Envelope ID: AEF88DE6-E12A-4394-AE83-A1C012CE171F C A R M E L CLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY November 16, 2020 The Carmel Clay Public Library is excited to again collaborate with James Moriarty of Moriarty Media on the Carmel Film Forum in 2021. The past four Carmel Film Forum events were well received by participants and met their goal of offering a unique opportunity for attendees to learn about filmmaking, engage with professionals, and develop their own creative ideas. In 2020, despite the pandemic, Moriarity pivoted to offer a virtual workshop and contest, that was not only still engaging, but also increased accessibility and participation. The Forum supports the library' s mission of inspiring lifelong discovery, facilitating collaboration, and connecting people with resources, and gives us the chance to introduce our Digital Media Lab to new audiences. This partnership has become a highlight of CCPL' s programming year, and we hope to once again have the opportunity to be part of bringing creative people from the Carmel community together for this project.

Due to the COVID- 19 ( coronavirus) pandemic, the 2020 Carmel Film Forum was converted from an in -person hands-on stop motion animation workshop, held at the Carmel Clay Public Library CCPL) to a two -session webinar hosted on CCPL' s ZOOM account. The first session was presented on June 20, 2020, from 2 pm to 4 pm. It was co -hosted by James E. Moriarty from Moriarty Media and Sara O'Sha, CCPL's Audiovisual Services Supervisor. The webinar featured professional animator, Lisa Barcy, streaming from Chicago, who taught animation techniques employing drawing, paper cut- outs, and 3D objects. Participants registered at carmelclaylibrary. org. Once registered, a program/ curriculum was emailed to the participants, along with a list of the tools, software, and supplies needed for the workshop. The participants were encouraged to make an animated clip, using the techniques demonstrated in the program and upload their clips to be judged.

Lisa announced the winner of the stop motion animation contest, who was awarded a license to a copy of the Dragonframe professional stop motion animation software, a $300 value. A retrospective of Lisa Barcy's animation work was watched, and a Q&A with Lisa was conducted. Outcome: The 2020 Carmel Film Forum: Stop Motion Animation Celebration ZOOM webinar was limited to 100 seats and sold out a week before the event. There were requests for a documentation video to be posted for those who could not attend the ZOOM webinar, which can be seen at http•//moriartymedia coml2020- carmel- film- forum- stop- webinar- documentation- video. There were sixteen animated clips created for the Animated Clip Contest.

The winner of the Animated Clip Contest was Olivia Witta from Carmel, Indiana. Her winning film can be seen in its entirety at http;// moriartymedia. com/ hands-olivia-witta. All of the granted funds were used in producing, marketing, and documenting the project. We received enthusiastic feedback on the participant evaluation forms. Participants willingly embraced using the ZOOM webinar format in lieu of a hands-on event held at the CCPL. On the question of how the event could be improved, a participant joining the webinar from outside Carmel, Indiana, requested the clarification of time zones on the poster. We also had an interesting evaluation form sent in from a participant from Indianapolis. When answering the question, what did you like about the Carmel Film Forum? He stated, " I liked that we actually got to do the work we were studying. I didnI expect that, and I was pleasantly surprised. Plus, the ZOOM presentation was so great! I am chronically ill, so I cant really attend seminars in person, so I appreciated this remote option so much!" When answering the question, what could we do to improve the Carmel Film Forum he wrote. " I don know if this would be considered an improvement, " but even after COVID has passed, I hope that CFF will continue to offer this online option and the in -person presentation. I would totally tune in to the live lecture via Zoom." Benefits: The participants have learned filmmaking skills from experienced professionals. They have been able to share their ideas and receive support from each other. They are better prepared to achieve their filmmaking goals. Plus, the new ZOOM webinar format allowed participants from outside Indiana to learn about the City of Carmel as a supporter of creativity and filmmakers.

I' m delighted to welcome you to this fun and educational webinar about animated filmmaking. Carmel has a long history of support for the arts, particularly the public arts. Our investment in world -class arts facilities, including The Palladium, The Tarkington Theater and The Studio Theater, has not only served the purpose of lifting our spirits and enlightening our minds, but has also proved to be an important economic driver for Carmel and the Indianapolis metro area and will continue to do so for decades. The power of film has long been a part of the American experience, dating back to the silent films, early Hollywood blockbusters and the many genres of film that emerged in the last century. In most cases, we experienced these in big -screen theaters or drive- ins. Today, fans of film have a number of new ways to enjoy films at home on their own big screens, on hand- held electronic devices, even on cell phones. The future of filmmaking, particularly indie films, is bright. The City of Carmel is proud to support the Carmel Film Forum. Very truly yours, James Brainard Mayor of Carmel Indiana 2020 Carmel Film Forum MoriartyMedia_ com Page 2 DocuSign Envelope ID: AEF88DE6-E12A-4394-AE83-A1C012CE171F WELCOME TO THE CARMEL FILM FORUM The Carmel Film Forum started four years ago when James Moriarty received a Carmel Arts Grant for his proposal to design a forum to celebrate the filmmaking art and encourage filmmaking in Indiana. Positive response to the 2017 Carmel Film Forum resulted in the awarding of a second grant, making possible the 2018 Carmel Film Forum: Focus on Filmmaking, which featured the art of screenwriting. The award of a third grant provided the 2019 Carmel Film Forum: Making the Big Picture, which emphasized filmmaking preproduction and crowdfunding. Due to the COVID- 19 ( Coronavirus) pandemic, the 2020 Carmel Film Forum: Stop Motion Animation Celebration will be offered as a two session webinar, presented via the Carmel Clay Public Library' s Zoom account. The Carmel Film Forum is not a film festival. Its purpose is to provide an opportunity for those who are making films to discuss their experiences, to encourage those who want to become filmmakers, and to learn from professionals in the field. James would like to see this concept continue so that filmmakers who receive inspiration from the these events can return at a future time to share their films. James owes special thanks to Mayor Brainard and the Carmel City Council for their support of the Carmel Film Forums. Additionally, he wants to thank Sharon Kibbe and Nancy Heck, of the mayor's office, for their assistance. Thanks to Chris Overpeck, Board President of the Indy Film Fest, which is the fiscal sponsor for the Film Forum grants. Sara O' Sha, Jason Messman, Christy Walker, Samantha Wilson and the staff of the Carmel Clay Public Library have embraced the Carmel Film Forums and have contributed their valuable time and resources. Thanks so much to you all. 2020 Carmel Film Forum Mori_artyMedia com Page 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: AEF88DE6-E12A-4394-AE83-A1C012CE171F 2020 CARMEL FILM FORUM IS SPONSORED BY go Moriarty Media Your Full Service Media Provider CARMELCLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY Indiana Slate University Investing in the arts to serve the community by lifting spirits, enlightening minds, and driving Carmel' s and Indianapolis' metro area economies forward.

Typically, animators will work at either 24 fps or 12 fps. The higher the number the more increments you will need to move your character to complete a second of animation, but the smoother and more fluid it will be. It can take a while to build up the stamina and patience to animate at 24 fps, so I recommend starting at a number no lower than 12 fps. The smaller your number, the choppier your animation will be, but at 12 fps it will still look pretty good. If you find your animation is moving too fast at 12 fps, it means you need to move the clay or object in smaller increments. To start, open app and begin a new movie.

You should only raise your ISO when you are unable to brighten the photo via shutter speed or aperture instead (for example, if using a longer shutter speed would cause your subject to be blurry). 2020 Carmel Film Forum MoriartyMedia. com Page 14 DocuSign Envelope ID: AEF88DE6-E12A-4394-AE83-A1C012CE171F LEI M Q+ •; Q [„ Done 60 1/ 125 1/ 100 1/ 90 1/ 80 1/ 60 ' 150 '/ 45 1/ 40 1/ 30 1/ 25 1/ 20 1/ 15 1/ 13 1/ 10 '/ 8 '/ 6 Shutter 0 O Mop—m 0Won L1- 1e 1, 0) 1. 5x 20, 2. 5x 3. 0 Zoom DocuSign Envelope ID: AEF88DE6-E12A-4394-AE83-A1C012CE171F ANIMATING TIPS FROM AARDMAN ANIMATION 0 to 46 r n- A '"a "40 " 0 jL 1v ~ Source: Cracking Animation 2020 Carmel Film Forum MoriartyMedia. com ia;=, 1(, DocuSign Envelope ID: AEF88DE6-E12A-4394-AE83-A1C012CE171F Cartwheel morph: When a clay model is off -balance, support it with a fine invisible fish line wire suspended out of shot from a rig.
