STRAIGHT UP! Flexi School Film
June 6th 2007 13:00
I recently had the pleasure of working with the Beerwah Flexi School on a University assignment. Teachers in training would go to a particular Flexi School (Schools for students more suited to a flexible school, rather than the situation offered by mainstream education) and work on their own project.
My plan for an on stage improvised Drama piece soon turned into a short film. This then turned into three short films.
Almost everything you see was made by the students to some degree. The house painting, the voice over with the birds, the plot, the filming, the acting. Through the whole thing, I was given MEGA assistance from Barb, who works tirelessly for the Flexi school.
There are a lot of misconceptions about Flexi Schools. The best I can say it is - different strokes for different folks. Some kids fit in the mainstream, some fit in elsewhere. I want to thank the mob I worked with for being so willing to push themselves to produce the nifty piece we managed to come up with, especially considering the heavy time constraints. It might not win m(any) Oscar Awards, but it's a damn sight above mediocre - just like the attendees themselves.
Note 1: MASSIVE THANK YOU TO - Rave Dave, Zebronkey, Falling Short and Dot.AY Who let me use their music. Wishing you all a swift move to the top of the charts.
