The children from Perryfields School have become real celebrities after winning the First Light Award for Best Film by Under 12s. Now they have another awards ceremony to attend as their amazing short film 'Time Report', which is a project funded by First Light and The Ernest Cook Trust, is nominated for Best School Production at Limelight Film Awards 2013!
The young filmmakers are passing on their message about preserving the environment by telling the story of a reporter travelling through time and reporting on the ecological state of Earth at different time periods.
You can see what the news will look like in year 2091 by watching their show broadcasted directly from a space station.
The young talents, with the support of Signals Media Arts Centre, came up with the script, constructed the set and props, which included a space station built from recycled materials, shot the film, made the sound effects and learned more about working with camera, green screen, sound, directing, writing, acting and editing.
Their efforts, enthusiasm and brilliant work didn't stay unnoticed and on 19th March 2013, 'Time Report' was awarded at First Light Awards ceremony in London! We can't describe the joy and excitement in the air so instead we will show you their happy faces.
Recently the film was screened as part of Kino Flow: Colchester Children and Families Film Festival at Firstsite, Colchester.
Now the school children have another opportunity to showcase their work and receive recognition from the industry. They will walk on the red carpet on 6th of June at Troxy along with 500 other filmmakers, celebrities, film and media personalities, artists and performers for the Limelight Film Awards 2013.
"The standard of entries were also very high making the shortlisting an impossible task" say Limelight.
We are very proud of them and we know they deserve the award. : )
