Nice music, Very stimulating, Cute. There is a beautiful colorful layout. It’s kid friendly. I got the “AHA” moment as I when I noticed children were depositing trash. One kid threw the garbage in the trash bin and the other kid in the recycle bin. As they threw the trash away, the authors displayed where the trash was directed. I was able to see the immediate cause and effect of “Being Trashy”. This was real cute. My three year old watched in amazement. I think the music reeled him in first then the colorful picture that had a detailed motion. I immediately saw Language arts: Cause-effect. Science: What is happening to the atmosphere?
very good video!. I love the fact that there was minimum technology but yet you showed a story line and a message got across. I saw kids not being trashy and throwing garbage in correct bins, what happens to the trash, and the benefits from it. A very simplistic video packed with information. I can see this video working very well with primary grades to introduce them to recycling. Students can watch the video, talk about what they see, write about what they see. When your group was preparing your video, cutting and placing objects on the wall, etc. I had no idea what you were putting together and the end results were wonderful. I want to use idea with my class. I don't think I've gained new knowledge, but students in primary grades would have.
1) Hand-made set; stop motion animation, classical music, two alternatives and their consequences; construction paper; 2 boys; trash bags vs. park 2) I thought this was so visually great! I loved that it maintained the texture of the construction paper (the crafter in me was so pleased!) I’m a sucker for stop motion because even the simplest idea can become so complex and it’s fairly simple to make it look top notch. As an animator, you have more control over sound quality, and as long as you use high quality, well-composed images, your film will look downright professional! 3) No new knowledge. I wanted to know more about the connection to recycling and a playground—I went with you and I got there, but I’d have preferred for that to be fleshed out a bit more. 4) It made me want to make a stop motion animation! But with recycled paper? 5) Use recycled paper. How fun would that be?! (and walking the walk too!) 6) When I saw yall putting this together and glimpsed all those trash bags, my brain immediately thought, “What if each bag represented an aggregate/per capita figure directly taken from actual research?” That would support division/multiplication, problem finding/solving, ratio/scale, statistics… and that’s just the math! What if each bag was a different size to represent the different measures of carbon footprints of various neighborhoods?
I saw similarities between the two characters. They were very much the same, until it came to how their garbage was processed. The music I heard went well with the routine process of what people do with garbage. I like the cause/effect and compare/contrast aspects which relate to science or la. I also like the visual of the consequences of ones actions. The visual was clear and to the point, if you recycle, you have more productive green land if you do not recycle, you have less green land and piles of garbage. The message came across strong, it reminded me some other clear, strong and to the point advertisement, like the roller coaster and alcohol and frying the egg to show your brain on drugs. Excellent, I will use this as intro to review c/e, c/c and consequences with my students. Thanks, simple yet deep!
This was a very appropriate video for the audience that you were trying to target. Again, as an adult watching this video I didn't really learn anything but it was a great video for children.
