No half "arsed" job.

Today the students were given two hours to build all the sets for their film in the Minecraft World.

One little ten year old girl told me, "she was working hard cause she didn't want to do a half arsed job."

Not much to say after that. She hit the nail on the head.

Amazing Minecraft Disaster Films

Today students used iShowu as a screen capture devise to film the scenes for their disaster films.

There was an amazing amount of creativity shown by the students to get their various disasters to work.  We had sink holes, earthquakes, floods, fires and volcanoes all going on at once.  Little Minecrafts were filmed escaping the disasters on the backs of horses and pigs. Scenes of crumbling empires were captured in their dying moments.

The students worked well in their teams organizing the action to take place in front of the camera/video capture computer.

There was a great intensity to the students work ethic.  It had to be completed by the end of the two  hours because we start editing next week.  There is also the looming film festivals where the all important Doscar Awards will take place.
