First, choose your medium. Do you want to create a Buzz Clip Video, a Buzz Pic, or a Buzz Toon Animation? Here are some ideas to get you started.
Buzz Clip Videos: Be the writer, the director, or the STAR. Choose one book to focus on, then...
- Act out a scene with characters from the book.
- Turn the book into a mini-musical.
- Present the entire book in two minutes or less. (The longer the book, the better).
- Interview characters from the book.
- Produce a news bulletin from the world of the book.
- Feel free to use: costumes, props, accents, wigs, stunt doubles and gummy bears.
Buzz Pics: Be the artist, the photographer, or the MODEL. Choose one book to focus on, then...
- Create a movie poster for the book.
- Photograph yourself as a character from the book, either in a scene, or in "candid" moments.
- Make a new cover for the book.
- Collect images that make you think of the book, and put them together in a collage.
- Feel free to use: crayons, magazine clippings, computers, glitter, stickers, and gummy bears.
Buzz Toons Animations: You make the image, we'll do the animating. Ask yourself the question: "Where does reading take me?" THEN...
- Draw yourself reading in your favorite spot.
- Photograph the perfect place for a scene from your favorite
genre (mystery, horror, comedy, romance, fantasy, etc.).
- Show us a world you've created.
- Imagine the very best place to read. Then draw it!
- Make a collage of places where stories can happen.
- Feel free to use: fog, palm trees, comfy couches,
suspense, shadows, and gummy bears.
