Friday, April 26th was the second annual TEAM SCREEN TEST. Our 5th grade Fugleflick, Different is Good, screened at this event along with student videos from the Chicagoland suburbs. Take a look at the photos and the animoto video to see what the event was like for our young filmmakers.
Trivia: Dryden student filmmakers were the youngest at the festival. All the other students were middle schoolers.

Different is Good tied for best of show at the festival. Our filmmakers will join the other winning team from Quest Academy for a movie and pizza night at the Prairie Center for the Arts in the near future.
Trivia: Dryden Filmmakers won Best of Show in 2012 also. 
See the post from last year.
Different is Good embraces diversity and uses art as a metaphor for celebrating our differences. View the Fugleflick below or at this link.

Fugleflicks Logo Video

My students put together a video called,  "Push Up Your Sleeves" this year. This video was intended to be played before each of our new fugleflicks. But, when I saw how cute the final product turned out,  I thought the students needed to be recognized for their tiny video before I buried it in a video logo segment. So, Push Up Your Sleeves was entered into our district film festival and a local film festival where the students were commended for their creativity.

Yesterday I finally took the tie to work on the video logo. Here is how I made it:

The logo itself is designed in Comic Life iPad App (for the text) and Brushes App (for the image). Then I animated in Keynote (desktop version) and converted to quicktime. 

I composed the first segment of music on a web based garageband-like site called soundation.com. They let me download it as a .wav file.

Then I put all the video and audio together in imovie and uploaded it to vimeo.

Elementary Musical (a musical introduction to the Elements of Art  featuring an original song performed, recorded, filmed, & edited by 5-3 students) View behind the scenes video to see them working.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our fifth grade students were invited on stage to introduce their movies and discuss the filmmaking process while fielding questions from the host and audience. This uncut version shows their whole experience. What a great opportunity to have an authentic audience.
If you don't have 25 minutes to watch the students on stage fielding question, then consider taking one minute to see them accept their award below in this super short cut version.
After watching all of the team films our host announced the judge's pick for Best of Show.
Congratulations to Elementary Art Filmmakers!
