I have been teaching my film students about angles and how shooting from different positions change the feel/mood of the shot. I do most of my shooting by what I feel, not with any particular technique in mind. However, when I saw this stone, I decided to play with the angles. A cemetery headstone is not something that normally would have any strength or power.
It is that time of year again that my students are learning stop motion animation.
My classroom is a buzz with stories that the students are creating. They are beginning to work together to choose one story to produce. Some students who have appeared to go through the motions of school, are waking up and coming alive with ideas. It is pretty exciting!
The 2010-2011 school year has been in full swing for a week! Students are trying to learn their schedules and get all their forms signed, while teachers try to learn everyone's names and remain organized!
The Lab has a new appearance this year as well! Stay tuned for a few photos!
A few crazy family events and the weather have prevented me the time at home needed to make a post. Better late than never...
We have made it to the end of the first week of our clay animation project. The students have completed their stories and are on their way to creating their backgrounds and characters.
Here are a few images from the week!
One of my fellow teachers, Gerald Wilson, stopped in my classroom last week to take a few photos of the new Mac Lab. It was very nice of him to give me permission to post his photos.
