Reel to Reel Festival

It's been a fun week and I am sure many of you will say that our field trip Tuesday was a highlight!  We went to the Reel to Reel Festival at the Roundhouse Community Centre in Yaletown.  This of course involves a short bus ride to the Canada Line Marine Drive station and then six stops later we were in Yaletown.

The morning was fun as we were able to watch seven short films, one of which we were the first group even to see.  You all had your favorites, but I think we liked them all.  It was really neat that two of the film makers were actually there to talk about their films.

After a short break where we got to have something to eat, we took part in our workshops.  Our workshop was on creating a story board and we got to learn from a person, Deb Dawson, who is a film maker and an animator so that was special.  We learned how you work in a team for one thing.

You can see there were some very "animated" discussions!!!












When we had finished this activity, we were able to explore the walk along False Creek.  We were fortunate that the rain held off!

Here is a our beautiful walkway...

 Now these are really large rocks!

 There you are enjoying the sea wall and beach.  How would you like to live down here!

And some people just like to appreciate the view!














Finally it was time to go home on the Canada Line and Number Three bus!  We may have been tired but we all had a really good day!!!
