This story is from Bullying Free NZ and is retold with their permission. It has many wonderful characters and a strong message that bullying behaviour doesn't pay and kindness is much more fun! Ākonga loved this story so much we decided to perform it ourselves.
With such talented artists, we decided to create our own landscapes for the backgrounds, based on the different settings from the original animated video. Ākonga drew these in the Sketches School app.
We made costumes and recorded the scenes in front of a green screen. During the recording, akonga gave themselves jobs to 'clapper' the scenes, to get actors ready and to manage the green screen background cloth (which needed regular adjusting)!
The recorded footage and beautiful backgrounds were then collated in iMovie using the green screen function, ākonga also recorded their narration here.
