Keeping Up With Kids

A library from IFLS-land has won Wisconsin’s contest for the Collaborative  Summer Library Program’s Teen Video Challenge!  Congratulations to the Hudson teens for their winning video, a funny Scooby-Doo parody, Dewey Doo and the Case of the Stolen Library Books.  I asked Jenny Jochimson, the teen librarian, a few questions about the making of the video, and she sure makes it sound manageable!

The Teen Advisory Board created the video.  One member, Julia, had some film-making experience and was really excited to create a video.  She took the leadership and came up with the original concept.  Then during one TAB meeting, they wrote the script, decided on characters and costumes, and planned the filming date.  At the next meeting, they did a run-through for an hour (which included recruiting former TAB members to come and replace the two kids who had last-minute cancellations).  Then they filmed!  Julia directed and edited the film.

Jenny suggests that even if you have one kid who is excited about a project like this, go with it!  They probably have enough energy and know-how to carry you through.
