Winter term animations

Below are the animations from the second half of the winter term. Featuring a tale of Acting legends gone bad, talking tomatoes and Lego explorers...


The Murderers:
This was created by Asia and Reuben. You either love them or hate them but you can't deny the fact that Zac Effron and Vannessa Hudgens are popular among girls. Girls only. But what happens when Christopher Walkin finds the urge, like many of us, to kill them? Find out in this brilliant film.



Tony the Tomato:
This is made by Sarah,Emily,Ben,Edward and Jasmine. Tomatoes. Amazing things. They can make ketchup, be placed on pizzas and save carrots who happens to be a princess. Yes that's right. Still scared and confused? Well no more, because this film explains well known sayings such as "Tomatoes love carrots","Never trust a plum","Like a Drag-Queen Dragon" and "As big as a fat mermaid." Never heard of them? Neither have I. Just watch the film.



Indiana Jones:
This is made by John, Rafi and Connor. What happens when a cult film character turns into a Lego man? We do not know. But this film may help us find out. Unfortunately Indiana Jones sued he said the acting was wooden but we think it was plastic!lol

How the project is going so far

Jasmine
The thing I liked most was filming in viking costumes and drawing the house and village scenery.


Edward
The thing I liked the most was spinning round when I got "Transported" to the Viking times!
Because I have all ways wanted to film but I have never found a suitable camera.

Sarah
The thing i liked most seeing the film back as it was cool

Ben
Writing the script
why: I like writing

Michael
I liked doing the music - especially adding the sound effects
Because I like music and the software we used.

Alex
The thing I enjoyed most about Melbourne Film makers viking task was using the cameras
Because I have never used a proper camera before.

Connor
The thing I enjoyed most about Melbourne Film makers viking task was filing the last scene in the costumes.
Because I was filming it, it was my idea to film it, and it was a brilliant scene.
