I liked the energy here. Lots of creative storytelling. I liked the story inside the story. I liked how the story bounced from speaker to speaker, shot to shot. A little edgy and great energy. Good music support, too. Having much of the audio off camera really simplifies the shooting. I think the editing could be a little leaner; in a few places maybe lingering a little long. But a very effective effort.

Gina, great idea. The kids looked very enthusiastic about the process. Tell Rosa her acting practice in 5th grade is paying off! I want to go back and read the script and storyboard to see how it matched the final product. Good use of lighting and music.

Very fun. It's great that you created a movie project where students can tell a story about the experience you are creating together. The beauty of it is their ability to get into character because it is THEM! If you have a wireless mic you will want to use it for every shot- no matter how small.

I'm with Frank and really enjoyed the story within the story. I also liked the constant changing of the action. The audio worked well, too.

I really liked the "story within a story" too. Great concept. This video was fun - great energy. I liked how the other kids were encouraging one of their peers to do what is best for him - helping him get set up and ready, and cheering him on. Positive Peer pressure - awesome!
