Thanks guys - yeah I thought it was flippin awesome, but you know how it's different when you're so involved! I really appreciate the feedback

Request from DH: It would be awesome if you guys had the time comment on the youtube link, so that the kids can read it and know what people think of their film. Click on the linky UGLY on youtube

Nikki lol yeah it was "the prettiest people do the most ugliest things", not the best English

Bel, how funny you know Karen! Yeah she owns Subway in Dargs. She was great coming on board to be in it, the whole film really involved the community people and places.

MamaPickle, here's the lyrics to the song...

The prettiest people do the most ugliest things
Pretty chains and diamond rings
To have a good life she thinks she's got to cover up what's inside
But baby girl, you're already beautiful

Bright red lipstick and mascara too
Baby girl, you know it just aint you
Remove the makeup, let your hair hang loose
Cos you're so beautiful when you're just being you]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:19:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18732&PID=428878&title=ugly#428878 <![CDATA[UGLY : That was really well done!

One thing that I have to say about the song is the lyrics "most beautifulest" (or whatever it was... can't remember now)

But then that's the decline in the english language for ya... and unfortunately most songs (written by adults!) have terrible english.]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:55:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18732&PID=428528&title=ugly#428528 <![CDATA[UGLY : That&#039;s very moving.. and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18732&PID=428441&title=ugly#428441 Author: Neeks

Well done, good effort! They should be very pruod of themselves!

It is a true issue with teenager especially but with all people not just the youth...

For example - Brooke jumped on the scales tonight and said - 'LEts see how fat i am' Now if anyone has seen the photos of my brooke she is far from fat... and i am one to blame as i always say 'does mummy look fat'...

But back to the movie well done. Real issues that effect real people

And love the song at the end What a talented bunch of kids ]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:38:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18732&PID=428160&title=ugly#428160 <![CDATA[UGLY : Aw that is beautiful (needed tissues...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18732&PID=428158&title=ugly#428158 Author: Jennz

Really really moving. I did need the tissues

Makes you think...esp when you are raising a daughter. As someone who really struggles with perceived pressure to be physically perfect, it scares me to imagine my girl going through the same struggles. But how do we stop the cycle? Our society is so fixated on all the wrong things.

The film is really well done,]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:09:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18732&PID=428123&title=ugly#428123 <![CDATA[UGLY : Just thought I&#039;d share this...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18732&PID=428114&title=ugly#428114 Author: arohanui

Just thought I'd share this with you guys... about a month ago, DH and I and our friends went up to Dargaville to work with some 14 year old students from the highschool, to help them make a short film. Through 1914media trust, we ran a competition for the students to write a short story about issues youth face today. One of those stories was turned into a screenplay, and 6 students were chosen to make it, helped by 1914media. These students had no previous experience of film making.

The students found the locations, did the casting, props, lighting, camera, directing, sound, editing etc.

It's about 12 minutes long but trust me, it's worth seeing til the end. Oh and a couple of the kids wrote/performed the song at the end too. It's in 2 parts (cos we could only upload max 10 mins to youtube at once), so make sure you watch them both!

Click on the link to watch the film (yep, it's called "UGLY")... be warned, you may need to have tissues ready (well I know I did).

UGLY

I'm interested to know your (honest) thoughts on it too, cos perspective is so different when you're so involved in the production etc... thanks ]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:50:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18732&PID=428114&title=ugly#428114
