Flick it on Movie Challenge

We have been involved in a Flick it on Movie Challenge this term.  Three schools collaborate together to create one movie. The two other schools were Nayland Primary School (Nelson) and the Community School of Davidson (North Carolina).
Each school had to create a 1min silent movie based on a theme. Our theme is that we need to treat people equally, with respect. The movie also had to include 3 things:  magic, a Rubiks cube and the time 3:15.
The movie was flicked on to Nayland School to add the voice overs and foley effects, and then that was flicked on to North Carolina for the background music.
It was fun including all 3 schools and being able to add voiceovers and music to their movies.

Zoetropes

As we are studying Optics at the moment we created Zoetropes. This is a simple animation device that takes advantage of how inefficient our eyes can be at focusing.
