Touring the UAE East Coast on a Goldwing

Elementary English | Nader and Khalfan | 2007



Nader and Khalfan made this video entirely within their mobile phone - including the soundtrack, pictures, titles and editing. They made it so quickly, and enjoyed making it so much, that they chose to go out and make another rather than stay home and do nothing. This video was the very first completed project made by my students. I remember being very apprehensive that rather than take the project seriously, they might abuse the day off classes and do little or no work at all. I couldn't have been more wrong. Every student took the project very seriously and came back with work of which they were very proud.

The story-boarding is very sophisticated and I especially like the final shot as they ride of into the night. The video is marred only by wind on the microphone in the first shot.
