here is one of my really new stories,

Film Makers

My brother’s love movie making.   Conner is fifteen years old and Ryan is eighteen years old.   They make movies for fun.  It started out when they made a stop motion Lego movie on their camera five years ago.  After that, they often got together with their friends, Judah and Asa, and made real movies.  They have been working together for the past three years.  Each one of their movies improves every time.

Most of their movies have been made at our house in the garage, the tennis court, at the dock, or in the forest.  Usually Judah is the main actor. Conner works sound and camera and sometimes acts.   Ryan video edits and puts in the after effects, and Asa also acts and helps with filming.  The boys always start with prayer and Bible Study and usually sleep over because the filming takes a long time.  I love to watch them work together and see their friendship growing.  Some of the short films they have made include:  Fishers of Men, Hostage, Freeze, Punch my Hand, New Gun, Glimpse, and Junior World War Two. 

The boys have entered a few competitions; one of them was called “The Twenty Four Hour Toowoomba Festival.” They had to make the film from start to finish in twenty-four hours.  The boys worked very hard and they won three awards: Best Sound, Best under Eighteen, and the Best Overall.  In addition, they were awarded $4,000 for their film called “Remorse.” Some of the money they used toward their next movie and bought two swords and a costume.  In this festival, they made a trailer for the Kingdom Dawn series written by Chuck Black.  And guess what, they won! 

If you want to visit their website, Eye Key Productions, you can see all of their films. I think the Eye Key production team is the best movie maker team ever!
