Hint! The Play!

From Mr. Frederick (June 10th, 2021)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o1r4WTHSjQ

Over these last few months Paul Eichen and I dabbled in making a film with the wonderful kids here at Bonita—the caveat is that we filmed students in front of a green screen.

While filming presented many challenges due to the Coronavirus, we are very happy with the end result.  Last week, Paul had made a mention of his student, Omar De Leon and I just want to second how much of a rock star that kid is!  Omar edited this entire project, had to composite (move students around digitally) actors, and manage sound (dialogue and sound effects).  Our cast faced a lot of new challenges and we could not be happier with how they rolled with the punches! 

If you have some free time, please check out our production of Clue (labeled as ‘Hint!’ so YouTube doesn’t take it down).

Card from Russell

Russell gave me this card at Senior Sunset.  I have the pleasure of having Russell on Zoom and in person for AP Calculus this year.  (From June 5th, 2021)
