Chapman U taps Student Filmmakers to shoot 3D Docu


Eight students to shoot 3D docu

Chapman University's Dodge film school has tapped eight student filmmakers to shoot a 3D documentary on their expedition to reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro at 19,341 feet.
The students -- four male and four female -- are set to depart Monday for Tanzania. Chapman said the students were selected after proving to be physically fit enough for the task and eager to climb the highest mountain in Africa.
Each will shoot his or her own expedition documentary, chronicling their experience and each will also take turns operating a Panasonic 3D camera.
Panasonic loaned the crew a 3D camera for two months in exchange for two minutes of "beauty shots" from Kilimanjaro. Dodge College Professors Jeff Swimmer and Jurg Walther will lead the expedition.
Swimmer said he's planning a similar journey next year to Antarctica.
