I got a great chance last week to work with some kids. A teacher I am working with who wants to make movies with her class had a sub for a day. She asked if I would give her students an introduction to movie editing in preparation for a bigger project. I loved it! Kids seem to have an instant grip on the visual vocabulary of moviemaking. Some things I have to explain several times to adults, the kids pick up in one or two tries. This week we have a snow day make up on Saturday. I suggested we do the next step in her project then. We are going to be filming a video of her students singing a fractions song to "We Will Rock You." It should be a good first project for her kids.
In other project news, I am moving along in planning for my three-day moviemaking class with teachers. The class will cover basic camera operation and editing, as well as integrating moviemaking into the curriculum.
