Lights! Camera! Action!


Getting just the right picture

 During four Tuesdays in April, five groups of kids gathered in the Children's Department to work with Jeff Ginger and several volunteers from the Graduate School of Library and Information Science and Tap In Leadership Academy to make Stop Motion videos.   After learning about the process, each group wrote their own scripts, created scenes, took pictures and edited their results in Microsoft Movie Maker.  Follow these three links to see some of the great stories created by kids just like you!  A-maze-ing by James, Hanna & Sarah ; Penguin'Stuffed  by Nishant, Sage & Will ;  Princess May and the Evil Rosebud by Nick, Rebekah, Cara & Sadie ; and The Wrestling Match by Alayah, Jaylece & Amir.
Enjoy!   -Elaine B.
