Miracle Makers- Matilda uses her superpowers to move pebbles on a beach in Hawaii




I think your concept for your script is interesting. However, you could have expanded on the idea further; more things could have occurred. At times, your voice projection is not very clear, it goes from loud to high and squeaky. Your 3-D setting is interesting as it is made out clay. However, you could have spent more time on your puppet. The size of your puppet was too big for your setting.

The Newts- Ms Truncbull goes to Italy and shows her strength at the Leaning Tower of Pisa



Your 3-D setting is very colourful and well-done. You filmed the video well as the audience can see the entire setting. Furthermore, your script is smart and original. However, you could have put in more effort into your puppets and figure out a way to maneuver the puppets without the audience seeing your hands.

The Red House- Ms. Honey goes on an African Safari



Your 3-D setting is very neat and well-done. However, you could have put in more effort in the design of your puppets. When you filmed the video, your puppet did not face the camera once. The audience could see the stick and scotch tape at the back of your puppet.

Sawdust- Matilda attempts to ski for the first time ever in Switzerland



I think your script is original. However, you could have put more effort into your 3-D setting design in order to capitalize on your interesting script. There is no colour scheme, everything is white. It is difficult to see what exactly your puppets are doing.

Crunchem Hall- Matilda gets involved in a snow-ball fight with some locals in Paris, France.



I think your 3-D setting is colourful, attractive and beautiful. Your script is very original as well. However, you could have zoomed out in order for the audience to see your entire 3-D setting, instead of just portions of it. The audience never gets a full view of the Eiffel Tower, which is the most prominent prop in your setting.

Bookworms- Matilda goes to a beach in U.S.A



I think your 3-D setting is very colourful and very well done. However, your script could have been more interesting. Matilda simply goes to the beach and reads Great Expectations. It was good that you tried to use different tones for the voice of Matilda.

Chopper – Ms Trunchbull takes part in a Mexican bull-fighting competition in Mexico



Your 3-D setting is all the same colour, white. There is no colour contrast which makes it difficult to see the movements of your puppet. However, I think your script is very creative and I like that you use an accent for your narrator.
