Chatting with our Expert Speaker!

Movie for Our Expert Speaker, Josh

We've been busy...

Lately, we haven't had as much time to post to our blog during our session because the time got cut a little short.   But here's what we've been up to:

• Tried out "Slowmation" (slow plus animation) with digital cameras and a computer.  Some kids drew picture, some used clay.  Then they took photos and sequenced them on a computer movie-making program to create an animated movie.
• Narrowed down our selections for products/projects for our final presentation.  Kids will work in separate groups to create the following: a documentary, 2 commercials, and a sitcom/how-to film.
• Last week we prepared questions for our "skype" guest for this week.  We recorded ourselves in a private "recording room" that we built in the classroom so it was just one student and the camera. Then we put it all together into a film that we can send to our expert guest for him to prepare for Thursday.

That's about it for now...this upcoming week we will continue to work our projects and skype with our expert filmmaker, Josh Dubois!

Signing off,
Miss B.
