Buttons Movie

Over the last two years, Film Club students, Miss Obeid, Ms Mandow and Mrs De Horta have been busy shooting their claymation (an animation using characters made from clay) ‘Buttons'. This film is about an adventurous dog called Milo who gets into a bit of trouble when he decides to sniff around a set of red buttons that appear out of nowhere. Part one was filmed in 2015, whislt the second part was filmed in 2016. Students were involved in all aspects of filming and editing.

In term 4 2016, Film Club students had the wonderful opportunity to attend a film festival held at Cabramatta Public School which screened our very own claymation,  as it had been selected as a finalist in the film competition they were running. There, we watched many awesome short films made by students from other schools across Australia and even from the U.S.A. Our film received the ‘Outstanding Claymation' award, so congratulations to all those students who worked tirelessly on this film and a special thanks to the wonderful teachers who mentored students throughout the whole process. Thank you to Ms Goldfinch, Mr Rangiah and Ms Funnell for their support and encouragement.
