The First 100 Years - A Puppet Play



Here is a movie my friend Blake and I made using Dad's new Flip Video, a couple of puppets and Movie Maker 2.

Enjoy & make sure you stay around for the bloopers at the end.

Hi,
I like your jokes. I cannot help but wonder why the names Adolf and Stalin - they seem like such nice animals? Maybe they could change them by deed poll?
Well done!!

Hi Samuel
Good work with the Flip Video. I think your dad is lucky to have you to try out new tools & software :-)

Hello Code-Samuel!
I am a teacher from Guelph, Ontario, Canada. I teach grade 3 which is about your age group. I'm impressed with how you have spent time creating your own blog, and this flip video. You have inspired me to learn how to do that!

Samuel,
My students get to use Sploder at the end of the school year and they enjoy it too.
Just so you know, when I introduce my students to blogging I use your blog as an example!
Great Job!

I really enjoyed your video. You are a creative young man and I see your parents are encouraging you to explore many areas of technology. Awesome. I am going to post a link to your blog on my class site so my students can enjoy what you have done, and perhaps be encouraged to try more new things on their blogs. Keep up the good work!

Hey Samuel,

Hello from Chimacum, Washington in the U.S.! I love your blog! Batman is awesome. And great puppet video! One hundred years of jokes is a funny concept. They must have been tired, they looked it too. Great bloopers, looks like you guys had fun.

Thanks for sharing your work online. Are you presenting at the conference with your Dad?

I teach 4th graders in Wisconsin, USA and never thought of using puppets to create a video. You have given me a few ideas to use with our new flip video camera. :-)

What a wonderful and entertaining movie you have put together. Your voices are clear and readily understood, the background is dark which really gives effect to your puppets. Jokes are always sure to get a laugh and the bloopers were great to watch. I am sure you will have lots more fun with the flip video. Keep up the movie making! Hope there are more to come.

What a great blog Samuel - I am going to show it to my class - they are just about to get individual blogs on the new NSW DET blog learning tool so they are very excited.

Fantastic clip. I enjoy teaching with puppets in my classroom and enjoy watching how you used them these to tell your story. Well done team!

Hello Samuel,
What a great idea to make a puppet show and film it. We have a new Flip Video at our school and I think my students would really enjoy making a puppet film. Thanks for the idea.
