Gee, I really wasn't aware of the immense negative impact plastic bottles have on our planet. Great message. I think having your students tell the story would be really effective. Next time?! I will definitely use this to reiterate the message of recycling in my class. Great job!

Excellent message. It is paired well with my PSA about recycling. The only suggestion I can think of is to have a title at the beginning and some credits at the end. I will definitely show this movie to my class!

This turned out great, Gayle. Love the addition of the music...maybe it could be turned up a little through your voiceover. I agree, a title and credits at the end wouldn't hurt.

The factoids were very effective. I really liked how you hammered how omnipresent they are and a liked that you gave a possible solution, too. I wonder if your kids will respond to that? Using still photos in a "video" is fine, although I would have added just a little bit of motion ("Ken Burns") to keep it from being too static. Effective images, though. Since I listened with headphones, it was clear that audio was coming out of only one channel when you used the external mic. You can solve that problem by using the Stereo-to-Mono adapter we gave you.

Great visuals. Your voice is very clear and easy to understand. I can't believe how many bottles still end up in the trash! Nicely done.

Very well done and straight to the point. Have you seen a change in plastic bottle use from students involved in the film? Interesting facts:)

I think you and your group did a nice job. I would have been more effective for me if a student narrated. A few more moving-video clips would be better than still. I wonder what our stats for bottles here at Del Dios are... We have a CJSF sponsored recycling program, but we never see what's really tossed out!

Great job! I like the visuals too! Nice clear narration, but a student narrator would be good too. Maybe showing kids choosing the right way to throw away a plastic bottle would help put some motion into the video.
