Â鶹ԼÅÄ Open Tales has been in existence since the summer 2005. The Â鶹ԼÅÄ Schools Coordinators are working in Coventry and Warwickshire schools in partnership with Creative Partnerships Coventry, producing digital stories for Radio and Television.
 | | Africa Animation project |
So far the project has worked in eight Secondary and Primary schools producing films, animation, music videos and a Radio Drama that has been featured on both Â鶹ԼÅÄ Coventry and Warwickshire Radio and Â鶹ԼÅÄ Local TV. Exciting new projects in the pipeline include filming a willow project at Edgewick Primary School with artist Tom Hare, filming sixty second Shakespeare at Lyng Hall School and working on an animation project with Bluecoat Secondary School. St Mary & St Benedict Catholic School, Hillfields, Coventry Year 6 students from St Mary & St Benedict's worked on new ways of interpreting the story of Macbeth and its themes Working with Fergus Durrant and Chris Bradley, the class produced thought provoking radio and discussed themes like superstition and characterisation in the form of interviews. --- Lyng Hall School, Blackberry Lane, Coventry The subject of healthy eating was chosen by year 6 students at the school. Students worked in four groups, with two camera crews, a radio and a web group. Pupils conducted a series of interviews with canteen staff in the school. They worked very hard in hot conditions and a strict timetable and produced some fantastic results - including an animated title sequence in little under an hour with a professional animator. --- Pearl Hyde Community Primary School, Dorchester Way, Coventry Edgewick Community Primary School, Foleshill, Coventry

Year 5 and 6 students from these two schools worked on an animation to tie in with the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Africa Lives project. Year 5 created the story, stage and models, whilst year 6 produced the sound and the animation itself. The pupils worked with Bambadinka in African Drumming Workshops, Chris Bradley in Film Making Workshops and Andy Guthrie in Sound Engineering Workshops. --- Dartmouth School, Coventry Pupils from this Special School worked with Rap Artist Perry Devonish to produce a Coventry Rap with lyrics based on the city and Dartmouth School. The young people were also helped by John Humphreys to make a music video. --- Click the links in the top right of the page to hear audio and see picture galleries of the Open Tales activities. |
