Collaborations a sensitive process

Some time back about eight years it was decided to get in contact with the national broadcasting company in Finland and get a movie shown on a children’s program that children had made from storyboard to editing but the answer was no. Do to the quality of the film and they did not have appropriate shows listed to air. The film was about “A day at kindergarten” from breakfast to afternoon. We were surprised by the denial from national broadcasting company but not disappointed and we did an extraordinary happening for the premier of the movie. 

ACTION!
It was a evening full of anticipating when we got to borrow a local cinema fore the premiere of the film A day at kindergarten. Parents and gran parents where invited. Local press was called children felt like stars when media interviewed them "En dag på dagis " as the film is called in Swedish was a success and a memory fore life. Every child got the film on DVD to watch at home in the future.

Did attempt to get a mobile phone manufacture in Finland to collaborate with children and the possibility to animate and make films with the camera on a mobile phone but the answer was not interested. Some time later film director Spike Lee gathered film clips and made in my taste a peculiar production fore the same company. I have teach children to animate with mobile phones because that is something they carry with them and the animation can be watched when the pictures are rapidly seen on the phone. One we made was Taitava nalle as can be seen in earlier blog text Could animating be easier from 2008.

By taking contact and collaborate with different companies the meaning in doing increases for children it doesn't mean it needs to be in astronomical measures but small things can spark ideas for a enterprise and working towards a goal outside kindergarten.
