OUTCOMES: The team documented the best of CrocFest 2005 – and this meant preparing shot lists for key events, sending out teams to catch them as they happened, while others uploaded the footage and edited watchable clips! The film and its entire production process happened during the CrocFest on the local oval. Over the course of the event they planned, shot and edited just like a professional crew – and their final film was screened to huge applause on the last day of the festival.
SCREENINGS & AWARDS: The film screened at Come Out 2007 Youth Film Fest at the Mercury Cinema in Adelaide.
IMPACT & FEEDBACK: SnapTV was selected for the award winning Directing the Hero Within resource DVD.
