We made a movie today!!! It was so much fun to see the cooperation between everyone and I loved how everyone listened to and accepted other people’s ideas about how the video should be arranged for their animal. We all looked up sounds for our “little guys”. I chose to use Simba’s little roar from the lion king. I thought it fit the cheeky, mischievous swag of my little dinosaur. We held a white back drop in front of the screen and everyone passed their animal in front of the screen one by one, stopped in the middle, turned towards the screen, and made their sound then disappeared off the screen again. Each entrance and exit was different according to the nature of each individual animal. For instance, I had my little dinosaur scurry on, get really close to the screen and roar, then scurry back off. Erin made her mole/octopus curiously come into view, sniff around the screen, then curiously slip out of sight, etc., etc. Unfortunately I was having too much fun to remember to take pictures L
Afterwards we watched video segments about different artist and their style and interests. It was really interesting to watch and I LOVED when the second artist said,
“It doesn’t matter how mundane the world is we don’t have to live mundanely in it. We can make beautiful things from mundane objects.”
This quote really stayed with me. It is 100% true. People go through life living like there’s nothing exciting or worth living for out there when there is so much to do that people don’t even realize. They miss out on the world because they’re so incredibly closed minded and blind to all the beautiful things that make this world the incredible place that it is.
