Here is the final version. We were able to go ahead and do the 2nd scenario on our storyboard and get it loaded. The kids had fun and thought it was funny to see the speed of the film.
I love this movie and the concept too! I will be showing this to my class. Now I want to try making a silent movie. The music was great too!

Astrid. I like the movie. It was a good idea to make it without sound. My students have trouble with the sound. I have so many students using the equipment that they have broken the wireless mike. I like the honesty concept. Keep up the good work. Gayle

Astrid, your musical transitions are outstanding! They are the heart of the movie! You also have great actors. I love it!

Astrid, I love the honesty question. I often think about setting up a camera so that they can see themselves. The pace of the words were great. The sped up action was a nice touch. The last sign seemed a little fast.

Great Idea! I believe that's character. I loved the music. It was a little difficult to read the trustworthy sign. I might have shortened some of the shots, but well made.

Really liked the homage to silent film—music, fast footage, sepia tint, closing iris wipes. Really clever. And like Gayle said, it definitely selves a lot of microphone problems. I also thought your kids did a great job (especially the kid who found the $) emoting with their faces. Nice camera work, too. I agree that Trustworthy has to give up on the coffee; enough caffeine here already.
