📝 How to Make a Movie while Practicing Social Distancing

Today we are setting the space for creativity. I have spent the last month throwing ideas of deep work for the girls to dive into. Fine there have been cardboard musical instruments and art pieces capturing the changing seasons, but nothing they can come back to again and again. Finally something clicked yesterday with Ms4 announcing she wanted to make a movie. Things have since gotten serious. We have the green screen out, Touchcast going, props strewn everywhere, ideas flying this way and that, as well as some compromise and collaboration. Feel like there might be an opportunity for Austin’s Butterfly at some point, however it is at least a bit more structured activity associated with recording video. Also feel Ms9 was left inspired by Fiona Hardy’s great novel How to Make a Movie in 12 Days about what is involved.
