This is another attempt at summarizing. The sound on several clips were really bad. I think David was playing with or rustling his hands. The microphone was behind the book the whole time. Any ideas on what else might cause that sound? This story may seem disjointed since I had to scrap several clips. I wanted to give the kids credit for strong effort. They were cute. My class is very motivated to earn camera time. Finding the time is the challenge.

You can tell the kids are motivated; they did a great job. Loved the Groucho glasses. I liked how the little boy was prompting the little girl; he knows what's going on. The mic problem definitely seems to be tied up to him. I would suggest making sure all of the cables are routed in such a way as to have as little chance for rustling as possible. In general I thought the camera work was improved too. I would suggest trying to limit the amount of headroom in the shots. for an explanation, see this:

Overall, a great project.
