A STORM IS COMING...SPRING 2006



Fulton fifth graders have started work on the latest Fulton Films production: "BRAINSTORM!" The movie will be about students whose behaviors create the weather inside their school building.

"BRAINSTORM" has wrapped production. The movie will PREMIERE the fourth week of May at the University of Dubuque's Hadley Auditorium! Fulton families will be receiving invitations with all the details in the near future!

SOME KIND OF WEATHER WE'RE HAVING AROUND HERE!

STUDENTS FILM SCENE AT HEMPSTEAD POOL
When it came to filming a sequence where a classroom at Fulton School is flooded during a thunderstorm, the Fulton Films crew and actors went to Hempstead High School. Special thanks to Mr. Tom Meissner, Hempstead Activities Director, who helped coordinate the filming on March 9, 2006. CLICK HERE to watch a short video of the filming process!
MOVIE TAKES SHAPE AS FILMING CONTINUES
TEACHER SHINES AS "MR. SUNSHINE"
"Brainstorm" is coming to life, thanks to many talented Fulton School actors and actresses. One of our very own staff members, Mr. Russell, appears in the film as mysterious weather man "Mr. Sunshine". Check out these behind the scenes pictures as cameras started to roll on the movie in February.

SNOWFLAKES AND SUNSHINE
There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes of making a movie. Creating the set and costumes are two important jobs. CLICK HERE to watch a short video about both aspects of this production.

STORM WATCH:
NO PRESSURE, NO PRESSURE!
No pressure when auditioning for parts in "Brainstorm", that is. In January 2006, dozens of Fulton fifth graders tried out for parts in the upcoming movie. CLICK HERE to watch a video about the audition process!
STORM WATCH:
THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE "SNOW" BUSINESS
Just another typical day at Fulton School. Fifth graders sitting in their desks...in the snow! Vehicles driving down Central Avenue might have done a double-take, watching as an entire classroom of students sat shivering at their desks. It was all part of a scene for the upcoming movie "Brainstorm" in which weather goes wild inside a school building. It was Mrs. Rothert's class that had the distinction of participating in this unusual lesson. As you can see by the photos, Mrs. Rothert forgot her boots, so she wore the next best thing: plastic bags over her shoes. CLICK HERE to watch a short video of this traffic-stopping event!
STORM WATCH:
HITTING ALL THE RIGHT NOTES
