Behind the scenes

Here are a few shots of some of the behind the scenes action from our commercial making.

Anton's Nature Life Bookstore Commercial

We had some technical difficulty with Anton's raw footage video, something even Steven Speilberg has had to contend with, I'm sure. :)
But, nonetheless, here is Anton's commercial.

Box tops for Education

Boy, do we have characters!

Students, as a writing exercise, created their own characters starting from: was it a boy or girl, what color hair and eyes, what made them special, what special talents did they have, etc.
Benny wrote about a boy named Bobby. This has really excited the kids and they wanted to skip PE and continue writing! And they love PE!

Joshua's Commercial for an iPod player

Here is Josh's commercial that he wrote and did a story board for. He and Benny are the actors.

Benny's comment on the commercials

Hi it’s Benny. On my commercial I was giving up on it because I thought it was not going to be horrible but Mr. Hales told me that it was going to be great. And it did. I already got two compliments!


LOVE, BENNY

Benny's Lightening Wheels!

Benny wrote and produced his commercial for a remote-controled car called Lightening Wheels. With the help of Mr. Fenton, he added a special effect. The kids all used iMovie for their commercials. He used the Toys R Us logo to show where Lightening Wheels is available.
