PowToon Animations -Grades 10 & 11

Leave a comment

Students planned and created an original PowToon from scratch. The goal was to utilize sound in an intelligent way.
Their options were: A.) Make a “How To” Video With Voice-over. *Teach us how to do something or educate us on something.  B.) Make a Music Video for Original Music or a Soundscape YOU Created C.) Take Your Recent Soundscape Project and Add the Visuals.

Mary -Grade 11

“For this project, I wanted to create a mixed-media type of video so I used two mobile apps, royalty free audio and visuals, my own photographs and audio, and hand-drawn sketches. I used Pics Art and Line Camera to sketch the visuals while the audio was recorded raw in a bathroom. Then, I used Wondershare Filmora to add the lyrics and sync the visuals with the audio. I hope it made you feel something (this is 9 hours of patience). :’)”

Hailey -Grade 11

“This is an animation about myself. I used video show, PowToon, and some royalty free music found in PowToon. I sketched each of the pictures and recorded my own voice too!”

Yong -Grade 9

This is a short antiphonal poem that Angeline, Daniel , Shin Thant and I made. Enjoy it !

Myat -Grade 9

“I’ve always been fond of shooting visuals and aesthetics, then later editing them. Adding them together with a soothing audio makes it even more pleasing for me. I thought out these clips for a long time, and I tried my best in making everything connect smoothly. I used Final Cut Pro (the usual) to make this, and the piano music is a snippet from Clair De Lune by Claude Debussy.”

Soundscape Projects -Grade 9

Leave a comment

Students were given the inspiration and freedom to create a project that utilizes only sound. They worked with or created original music, sound effects, voice-overs, and manufactured sounds. Soundscapes can be a narrative story that only uses sound, it can be abstract, it can be experimental, or it can be musical, or it can be a combination of all of these.
