Children's Books



Choose a Favorite Childhood book and turn it into a Movie.  You are free to use your favorite style of Filmmaking.  I would love to see some of you choose Stop Motion-they always turn out so cool.

YOU MAY WORK WITH ONLY ONE or TWO OTHER PEOPLE. 



1. YOU COULD DO A SEQUEL TO A CHILDREN'S BOOK or
2. YOU CAN DO A PREQUEL TO A CHILDREN'S BOOK or

3. YOU CAN TRY TO RE-ENACT THE ACTUAL BOOK

*GET YOUR IDEA AND PARTNER GROUP APPROVED BY ME BEFORE YOU GET TOO FAR INTO YOUR STORYBOARD.

Let's take a look at a few Children's books that were successfully turned into movies.  Usually there is a twist to the original or more added to what already existed.  Don't be afraid to add to your movie.  It will make it more interesting for us as your viewers.  I LIKE TO SEE CREATIVITY THAT YOU COME UP WITH ON YOUR OWN!
