You’re probably wondering if everyone had a great time here. Well, I didn’t.
I had a superb time! I loved being with the girls in group 5. I liked how I could make everyone in my group laugh and even though I didn’t do it right at all, I liked how the girls taught me how to make a lanyard. I love the lunch times we spent together sipping cappuccinos and laughing. I loved how we made hilarious skits together, totally improved. I loved our free time together, cutting out pictures, singing, talking, listening to music, joking and anything else fun. I loved everything about this place except waking up too early and how early it ended.

My favorite part about this program was using the cameras for anything we wanted to film. Behind the camera was fun because we were all really hyper and crazy, but in front of the big professional camera it was kind of scary because no kind of camera ever filmed me before. It was great after the first couple times in front of that camera because I got to use it. We made bracelets, finger print pictures, collages, mellowed out and took quizzes in the uniquely ME! books and goofed around at the end of the day when the parents started coming. We talked about anger and how to deal with it. We talked about mellowing out and body language. When we had free time, I made lots of bats with expressions and accessories and called them “batfuls”. This program is fun and I would definitely come back next year.

By attending the uniquely ME! Film Institute, I have made a lot of new friends and learned a lot about the behind the scenes work that is involved with media. Editing, filming, white balancing, fire wire are just a few of the techniques I learned about camera work. Another memory that I will always have from being at this camp, is the band that my friends and I put together. It was called the Spicey Ladies. We each had our own spice name and wrote our own songs. This camp absolutely boosted my self-esteem and I made life-long friends that I will never forget and will continue to stay in touch with. I will absolutely go to this Film Institute. I have PMA (positive mental attitude) and I am proud.

I liked being able to use the camera and meeting new people from places you don’t go to everyday. Through the week we did a lot of camera shooting and me and Sheila didn’t like being in front of the camera. (Unfortunately we had to anyways but we easily got over it). Besides camera work, we learned how to deal with stress and being different. We also learned what media was and how commercials put hairspray on hamburgers to make them stick. We went to Nay Aug Park and made bracelets and collages about what we liked. In the uniquely ME! books was like being different, how to deal with stress, etc. That’s what I liked about the Real Girls in Reel Life Film Institute.

My friends and I started the Spicey Ladies. We made our own spiced up music.
All my friends are awesome. We are unique and we have PMA (positive mental
Attitude)! The documentary was cool to make too!

What I did this summer in the uniquely ME! program was to use and learn
video cameras. We got to work in groups so it gave me a better chance to meet people. One of my favorite projects we did was interviewing people. In our spare time some of us liked to doodle these munchkin characters. The field trips were awesome. We went to Nay Aug Park. First, we all took a walk to the newly built tree house, then when it started to rain, we went to the zoo and filmed the animals. Today, we’re all going downtown to use the video cameras one more time. What would make this program better would be to make it last longer than one week!

This camp has been awesome. The best parts were meeting new people and using the cameras. I also really liked the making of the party hats (Celebrating Me). We mostly talked about self-esteem and controlling our anger. The staff and the people I met there I will remember forever.

I liked learning how to edit, film and being in front of the camera. We made Party hats, bracelets and necklaces. We talked about PMA (positive mental attitude) in the books. I loved doing the arts and crafts.

I liked when we went to Nay Aug Park to film the best. I liked being in front of the camera less than being behind it. At first I hated being in front of the camera, but as the week went on I liked it a little more but still not as much as I liked filming. If I had the chance to do this again I would definitely do the camp again.

Camp was really fun. The best thing about it is working with the cameras. I really liked working behind it. We went to the tree house at the park to film which was fun. We learned that we all have something unique about us.

This week was most likely the best one week camp I have been to in a long time. I had lots of fun being in front of the camera and behind it. I really liked the fact that the girls had a lot of input into the decisions. The only thing I would have wanted more of would be working behind the camera. Other than that this has been a great experience for me and I hope the program continues and more and more girls come to be involved.
