Students in Mr. Lifton's fifth grade class at Creative Science School created videos about the trials and tribulations of Colonial American Life.

The screening was held at the Laurelhurst Theater on Saturday, April 18.  Thanks, Laurelhurst Theater.  If you missed this screening, you missed out.  Fortunately you can recreate the experience online by checking out the Creative Science School Videos.  Viewer be warned - Colonial America was a thrilling place full of witches, disease, true love, and murder!

Our first Video of the Week is The Giving Tree, an animated adaptation of the classic Shel Silverstein book.

This video was the first OLLIE project that I ever worked on, as well as my first foray into animation.  Thankfully, the students at New Avenues for Youth were so motivated and enthusiastic, that I didn't have to do much but teach them the basics and let them go.

Check it out!  Moving Images alumni Sutton Raphael was chosen as a finalist for the Drive Less Save More Video Challenge in the Youth Category.  You can watch Sutton's movie, Get Showered With Money, on the Drive Less Save More website.  Don't forget to vote!

While you're there, take a look at Be Like Jack, featuring a cameo by OLLIE Trainer Kate!

Mr. Carlson and Ms. Pekin's classes at Lynch Meadows Elementary School worked with OLLIE Youth Media to create videos about the exciting world of weather - Hurricaines, Tornadoes, El Niño, Climate Change, and Thunderstorms!

Here are some photos from the red carpet screening event.  If you missed the screening, you can catch the Lynch Meadows Videos online right now.

New OLLIE videos are online!  This latest batch were created by students in Ms. Jen's class at LEP High School.  The theme was "The Epic Journey: From High School to College!"
