I have changed the DMM format. We are discussing only film, pix, video, animation, modeling, and all the publishing aspects in MS Movie Maker. We are not filming and then editing our film. This means we are spending more time on the tools and techniques of amateur movie making.
First session, we built commercials from 3D models and pictures. We incorporated SketchUp as well as yahoo images, Last FM, MS Movie Maker, Audacity, and started to discuss CamStudio. The kids really enjoyed the session after they became comfortable with all the different applications. Many of them had never used any of the above. Also, we had some importing issues and we had to bring images into MS Paint. This was a new tool as well for most. I am concerned that students are not using these tools in the classroom!
Second session, we are discussing animation and we'll be importing clips created by other students in Fluxtime into our movies. We are then going to send the clips to CCPL and see if we can connect them to our website.
