Digital Creativity

Day 1 of the Digital Creativity Workshop is over, and the participants who travelled quite some distance to be here today, some from as far away as Devon, had a wonderful time exploring digital video production.

Tomorrow, we will head towards Churt, and Sundial House to take part in some outdoor activities, including tennis, cricket, rounders, trampolining, golf, horse jumping (!)

Written and performed by Amy, Jessica, Amie, Daniel and Dominic at Stepping Stones School. These students were studying similes in Literacy, and took photographs from around the school site, and used descriptive language to describe what they saw. This video was produced using iMovie.

This video has been uploaded to YouTube.

Our first video output was posted onto YouTube this evening. Watch it here:

In are summer workshop we been doing steps into Animation. We tried to use I can Animate but it did not, so we used iStop Motion. We had to do music nine times to get right so that it would match the film. We enjoyed making the Animation.

On the 19-20th of July 2006, the friends and students of Stepping Stones School, created animations using programs iStopmotion and I Can Animate to create 2 very original animations.

To view these animations, scroll down the page.

We hope you enjoy them, and it will be greatly appreciated if you leave comments.

	Shark: The Animation by Dan and Dom
	Park Rescue by Amie, Amy and Ellie

This animation was created in the Summer ICT Workshop. We used the Chroma Key technique
( more commonly known as "Green Screen" ) to fill the green background with the image/colour of our choice.

We had encountered many problems with Chroma Key including not enough or too much light but we felt that it was best if we stuck with it, and that it gave a more professional finish than if we used iStopmotion.

Also with thanks to Alice from HemiHelp, who made the shark !
