I received an iPad for Christmas and immediately downloaded iMovie to try out these kind of projects.
Before school went back in session, I got my teens involved in making a “commercial” for our department's winter programs. They had fun AND learned some filmmaking skills. Plus they got creative control over a product meant to advertise to their peers.
Emily, that is awesome. I love hearing these types of success stories.
