The Academic Coach is guest blogging today....

4th and 5th Grade GATE Claymation Movies

In six short sessions, our Rancho students directed, filmed, and produced their very first stop-motion film!

The students developed story lines and created clay characters. They then made backdrops and prepared to film. Each movie consists of 80 to 150 photos taken with a digital camera. After all the pictures were taken, students imported them into Windows Movie Maker and added titles and credits.

Please enjoy their videos! The students had a great time working on the projects.

    I am so impressed!! What fun it was to watch and experience the creativity of our own Rancho Eagles. I believe they will sour to heights even beyond our imaginations. A big thank you to Catherine Nam for her love and commitment to all our students.

  4. Wow! George Lucas and Steven Speilberg move over! The claymation movies were entertaining and terrific to watch. These future film makers have made an impressive start. I loved seeing the growth and talent of my former third graders in action. The dedication and creative ability of Catherine Nam really shows in the end products of these tremendously talented students. Way to go! Your very impressed third grade teacher.
