We Love Nature!

I was at my grandmother's house at Lake Tahoe this past week with my cousins.  We made a nature video.  My mom showed us a video with stop motion animation using stones by an artist named Jan Svenkmajer.  We were completely surrounded by nature in the mountains and we thought that it would be great to make a video that shows that nature can do amazing things.

We collected sticks, pinecones, pine needles, leaves and rocks from outside my grandmother's house.  We showed each other what we gathered and then we brainstormed ideas about what we could do with those pieces of nature in a stop motion video.  Then, we teamed up with two people working together to make short animations using the objects we collected.  While the others were waiting for their turn, we wrote poems about nature.  Then we took the short clips and put them in iMovie.  We recorded our poems and added it to our animations.  We then added some music and titles.  Here is what we made:



Here is the video that inspired us:
