Managed to get the “Makin’ Movies” presentation in just before we had our on board, pre-cast-off, emergency drill. We reconvened afterwards with just enough time for Hall to do a little “camera calisthenics” (all the hidden features in your camera menu) and for me to briefly give the instructions for our modified version of “Lights! Camera! Action!’s” infamous door scene. Just hours later and after a formal cruise dinner, we reconvened to share and celebrate each team’s video. Of all the times I’ve facilitated this workshop, these folks had the least amount of time to plan, shoot, and edit. I was amazed at the quality of the finished products. From lions in bunks to getting loose in the engine room to boogeying with dinosaurs, teams made the most of the limited lighting and our makeshift green screen studio.

Joe, I finally got to put a couple of your effects to use at my granddaughter’s 6th birthday party. She starts on one side of a floor lamp empty handed, and presto, she’s on the other side with presents in her hands. Thanks to Adobe’s cropping command, she can hide behind a 3″ wide lamp stand and peak out to say hi to her mom! I can only imagine how much fun everyone is having with the door scene!

Thanks for everything, Joe! I can’t wait to try out the sequel to the “door scene” with my students! Our focus for the year is going to be “Digital Storytelling @ Your Library!” Hope to see you soon!
