College-Making (Syracuse Scholars)

In our last week, we made collages with our careers as the theme. The students learned how to use a search-engine (Google) and how to save images on to their computer. Then, we took those images of their chosen careers, along with other elements, and created beautiful collages. You can see them hard at work. All these photos were taken by NYU scholars!

Video: "Our Magic Names" (Syracuse Scholars)

As you can see, our older students, the Syracuse Scholars, are just as eager and talented as our younger ones.

For every scene, we had at least two takes, sometimes as many as five. It's not easy to remember the order of "rolling", "action" and "cut" and everything that goes in between. Plus to have the three positions of director, camera person and actor to coordinate everything is a challenge even for veterans. However, these young people did a fantastic job, don't you think?
