Photo From Our Muppet Inspired Film, "The Block Party"
This is a still shot from the student Film, "The Block Party" Inspired by Jim Henson, the children designed and sewed together their own Muppet-like characters for this film. They also designed and built their own stage set. In this film, the children tell a story about how taking care one's neighborhood is extremely important. No matter where we live, the story encourages young people to do what they can do to respect and care for their own environment.
"The Wondrous World of Wilson" Student Claymation Movie Coming Soon!
Students ages 7 to 12 are working on their Clay Animated Short Film Series called, "The Wondrous World of Wilson." To learn the Stop Motion Process, the children completed some test movies by simply using Modeling Clay, fabric, paper, household items and Windows Movie Maker. They have now moved on to using a more advanced software "Stop Motion Pro," to create a more polished version of their animated movie. Look for their first short episode this Holiday Season!
