Remake Your Favorite Movies Yourself! How About “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” To Start?

MrsP.com completes her week of guest blogging in the Bowl Of Noses today.  Super big thanks for all the good links, Mrs P!  Who’s next?!

Learning the craft of filmmaking comes in many forms. This shot-for-shot remake by some Mississippi kids who spent much of the 1980’s recreating “Raiders of the Lost Ark”,  I am sure taught them much about how a filmmaker thinks and what it takes to execute a scene. We have seen this technique used to pay homage to other filmmakers, like when Gus Van Sant recreated his shot-by-shot of Alfred Hitchcock’s  “Psycho”. They type of diligence shows a real love for the craft. I love that these kids had such a long attention span to complete this too. It may have been awhile since people have seen this one. Here’s the first ten minutes.

Hey Kids! Create Your Own Comic Books

MrsP.com guest blogs on B.O.N. yet again today.  All together now: “Thank you, Mrs. P!”.

Running across FREE resources on the web that engage kids is not always easy. I came across Professor Garfield’s Comics Lab Extreme. Kids can just drag and drop any artwork to create their own graphic novels or comic books.  It even allows them to print and save what they made.

High School Flash Mob: Gotta Keep Reading

MrsP guest blogs in BowlOfNoses again today!  Thank you MrsP.

Collaboration is the key to most successful projects. This one shows how you can take a pop song, change the lyrics, and get everyone involved in imparting an important message in a fun way. Because I am a huge advocate of reading for kids, this catchy piece spoke to me.

How Ridiculous! Impossible Basketball Shots Made Possible

MrsP guest blogs again today!

It is inspiring to see a group of teens giving back with their talents. I love that not only are they having such a great time, but they are thinking of other people too, by adopting a charity. Not to mention the amazing basketball shots they are able to make.

“How ridiculous”

This group of teens from Australia have several more videos up on YouTube.  Check them out.
