"Haunted House" by Murch Elementary students from Make slash Believe on Vimeo.
HAUNTED HOUSE: In the spirit of Halloween, students will work together to design an interactive model for a haunted house using craft materials. Once it is complete, a short video of a trip through their haunted house will be made by moving a small camera through the model.
I have this project lined up for a couple schools this season, and had the opportunity to work on it for the first time with a fantastic group of Murch Elementary students during a special 2-hour session on a non-school day. It was kind of a whirlwind bringing it all together with several different age groups, but the kids did an excellent job, and I had so much fun. Check out the final video above (or on M/B's Vimeo page), and a couple of haunted house photos below, and try not to get TOO scared.
*Update: Thanks to Linda at Kid Friendly DC for sharing this project on her fantastic blog!
P.S. Not visible in the video/pictures: the haunted refrigerator con zombie made by a pre-k'er.
P.P.S. The haunted house's biggest fan? My cat, Billie. Could not keep her out of this thing, before or after it'd been inhabited by spooks!
