Summer Fun Box: Make a Movie!

Today the Summer Fun Box had declared it was the day to make a movie. The kids created/agreed on the following loose script:

A princess is riding her horse through the forest. A robber steals it. She calls a hero who fights the robber and loses, but then steals the horse anyway. The robber searches "the entire earth" for the horse but never finds it. Meanwhile the hero returns the horse to the princess.

For this movie we ventured up to the local church to film in a small wooded area that seemed perfect for the "riding though the forest and then the horse is stolen" scene. I think it works.



Props:

white and black stripe shirt = thief shirt
small piece of vinyl siding trim = sword/walking stick
purple badminton sake = dagger
horse head on a stick = horse
piece of broken tree branch = phone
Duluth pack = thief's backpack

You guys are way too cute!

Unfortunately, "made up" movies are one thing my kids don't have, which is weird because I made tons of them when I was a kid - and we had to use 8mm cameras and have the film developed and everything. Funny how some things get passed along and others don't.

Beautiful work. The actors were superb. Perhaps we could arrange an extended cast sometime?
