Lights, Comedy, Action !A fun oriented, team building activity in which teams establish roles, plan a production, write a script and later perform live for the camera. Following the 'movie premières' and the completion of voting cards, an 'Oscars' award ceremony concludes the evening in true Hollywood style.

And the winner is...

Whether you've dreamed of seeing yourself on the big screen, or fancied yourself behind the camera directing the action, here's your chance for 15 minutes of fame in this fun-packed team building event. Take to the red carpet in true Oscar style for the concluding awards ceremony - just make sure you've prepared your acceptance speech!

Lights Camera Action is a two part event normally run during the afternoon and then after dinner. Each team chooses an envelope which contains their given film type and theme. The films can also be appointed a particular idea or objective such as an advertisement for a new product or a corporate message.

We provide teams with a camera, director's chair, clapper-board, studio light and other items needed to produce a short movie. To throw a spanner in the works, the teams may be given one or two obscure lines, which they must incorporate into their film script. Teams will then adjourn for a production meeting during which they will put their ideas together, develop their roles, plot a storyboard, write their script and investigate locations for filming. The appointed team 'Directors' will assign the roles of Gofer (normally the most senior team member), Cameraman, Location / Lighting Technician, Make-up Artist / Wardrobe and 'The Cast'.

Teams then begin to 'shoot their film' which would usually be between 3 and 5 minutes in duration. Our Lights Camera Action assistant will be on hand to guide each team and to help with any technical difficulties. Once all Directors have 'called it a wrap' on the film sets, guests take a well earned break before attending the Première Night Dinner...

Your celebrity filled audience of directors, critics and actors alike, enjoy the screenings of each production and then cast their 'Oscar' votes under the categories of 'Best Director', 'Best Motion Picture', 'Best Actress' and 'Best Actor'. You may choose to add some special awards of your own. Past ideas include 'Best Cross Dresser' and 'Best use of a Member of the Public' - and we will also present our special award for the 'Champagne Moment of the Day' during an Awards Presentation Ceremony which concludes your memorable Lights Camera Action event in true Hollywood style!

The EMG film making event is suitable for 20 - 100 guests. Your film making event will usually run for a half day depending on numbers and format.
