The director, producer and editor always had a love for film and pursued his dreams at a film school in Chicago. But defaulting loans due to the recession in 2008 forced him to leave Columbia College Chicago, and he and his family moved from his hometown on the outskirts of Detroit to Shreveport, La. Far away from his comfort zone, Calvin forged a unique way into the post-production industry. Taking advantage of Louisiana's tax credit, Calvin would have an opportunity to cut his teeth on multiple independent films and participate in an assistant editing class that would shift his trajectory and put him on the path to joining the team who edited the Academy Award-winning animated short, The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore. Since then, he has edited several Emmy Award-winning branded content pieces such as Chipotle's The Scarecrow, and Dolby Laboratories' Silent & Radio Flyer's Taking Flight. Most recently, Calvin's ability to pivot and consistency in the following up moved him west to Los Angeles, where he would serve as the Editor for Disney+'s critically acclaimed reboot of The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder.

“Since we cannot agree on facts, then I have no idea how this is going to be resolved. But I think I know where to start.” We’re on Uncreative Radio with a long-time friend of the studio, Calvin O’Neal. Calvin is an animation editor currently with Disney. Some of his previous works include The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore, an Academy Award Winning short, and The Scarecrow which earned a two-time Daytime Emmy Award. On this episode of Uncreative Radio, Josh and Calvin discuss the juxtaposition between the right and left that encapsulated all of 2020 starting with Covid, to the Black Lives Matter protests, and ending with the insurrection on January 6th. At the beginning of the pandemic, Josh and Calvin agree that there was a sense of peacefulness in the world, though just for a moment, until the lack of infrastructure and planning by the government became apparent. Following massive shutdowns, layoffs, and uncertainty for the future Josh also became fearful of his studio not making it through. As tensions rise in America the topic of opposing views comes to light. Having both lived in a liberal bubble, Josh and Calvin come to the conclusion that their coastal viewpoints do not reflect that of the rest of the country. Leaving them with the question of “what are people thinking and how different are we?” When the news of the murder of George Floyd was released and the Black Lives Matter protests followed, they were faced with an array of emotions. Some being a sigh of relief that their white counterparts finally recognized the disproportion inequity while another feeling’s being of disappointment of their defensiveness towards the movement. Though the silver lining could be that at the very least people’s intolerance has become clear and easier to avoid. For more original series and inspiring videos, check out our YouTube Channel.

Betsy didn't want to have a whole conversation about elongated eye tubes. She really, really didn't, but that's the price you pay when you show Kate the book Owl Babies. Today the two tackle the ebook edition of the picture book (rather than board book) version of this title and it makes for an interesting read. They end up wondering about where the gutter falls on certain two-page spreads, and have a lengthy talk about repetition in picture book texts and what this book has to do with working mothers.

In this Teachers’ Podcast episode, Claire meets with John Murray, a British author for educational material and former teacher. John is a reading enthusiast and novelist. He discusses the work he has done to support schools with developing the love of reading within children. John explains the importance of reading and the pedagogy of reading for children. He describes the different techniques of how the love of reading can be promoted within children. He also explains the different opportunities children need in order to develop this. John and Claire discuss the importance of reading and why the love of reading should be developed within children. He talks about the significance of sharing the passion of reading with children. John and Claire also discuss the different strategies that can be employed to deliver this. Murray emphasises the importance of enriching children’s interest and immersing them in a variety of different texts.   KEY TAKEAWAYS John qualified as a teacher in 1997. He worked in a mainstream school with SEND children who had linguistic needs and difficulties. Shortly after, he became the head of English and split the subject in three categories; writing, reading and speech and language. John explains that he focused on reading and looked at the various areas this covers i.e. guided reading, the library, reading for pleasure, story time. John now works independently with schools across the country. He works with and supports schools with reading and developing a reading into writing approach. John suggests that the love for reading comes when the texts connects with our heart. He suggests that teachers should not be restricted with what book they should choose for story time. If they are passionate about reading, they should pass this on to children. He emphasises the importance of story time by stating it is fundamentally important. Story time is where we get a chance to feel safe and teachers can share their passion for that story. We shouldn’t just assume children have access to books outside the classroom. Schools may be the only time children have access to this opportunity. He believes story time should be timetabled; it can’t be faded out if there isn’t time in the school day. It should be a whole school approach. John suggests when reading on 1:1 basis, the teacher should read to the child. With the teacher’s knowledge of reading, fluency, enunciation and approach they can bring the text to life. They can then talk about what has been read which will stimulate a conversation which ultimately develops the child’s comprehension. Once the teacher has modelled what a passionate reader looks like, the child should then be given the opportunity to read the text back to the teacher. If the reading is modelled on 1:1 or a small group basis this should be done with a reading book at the child or children’s reading level. However, it is a whole class reading the teacher should model this. Once the teacher has read the text, children should appreciate and apply the knowledge of the text with their peers. Echo – some children can just repeat what is said and in the manner it is said in. However, when children get to Key Stage 2, they may read and interpret the text in their own manner. They may emphasise some words differently and Murray suggests that this is a great discussion point. Murray explains that children who find reading difficult or are not confident readers they can still contribute verbally. Emotional dexterity – the connection with a text on an emotional level. When we can connect with the author, character and situation that’s when we can emphasise and understand. Murray suggests that it is vital to develop this and children should be emotionally developed in order to connect with the text. The texts should be appropriate to the children’s academic ability and emotional development. Murray suggests that in order to improve inference we shouldn’t just focus on the text; we should focus on the whole child. We need to improve the emotional wellbeing of the child. We need to view reading as a holistic approach. Reading isn’t just about teaching children to pass a test or construct an answer, it’s about giving children the experience of reading for pleasure. Reading for purpose – doesn’t necessary develop an emotional connection i.e. when reading a recipe but it can be to enhance understand and knowledge of facts i.e. history. John emphasises the importance of children having access to a variety of different texts in a variety of different opportunities for a variety of different reasons and purposes. He suggests that children have a right to explore texts at their level as well as age related expected reading level. They should be provided with this opportunity in schools in order to promote integration and inclusion. Murray suggests that teachers shouldn’t rush and when needed the pace of the lesson should be slowed down for children to enjoy the learning that is taking place. This will allow for all children to be included. He states that EAL children have lots to offer, they are not a hinderance. The pace of the lesson should be slowed down. Retrieving information from the text isn’t a basic skill, it’s a fundamental skill. Murray suggests that if this foundation is not there, anything developed from this will always be unsteady. The foundation must be solid. Love of language and reading for children who lack confidence – book talk and being creative with a text. Murrays explains that text can be a barrier for some children. A strategy he has adapted for Reading Rocketeers is where text is layered. The text is read to the children to enable them to visualise the story, they then talk about text, the images are shown and then the text is introduced one sentence at a time. Fluency – going beyond the echo why are they emphasising there? Why are they taking a pause? Interventions – we should be careful when defining interventions. Is it the mechanics? Is it the comprehension? Dialogical pedagogy – getting children to think and verbalise their thought process and why they think that. Murray suggests that this approach can be used in Early Years Foundation Stage or Year 1 and it can also reduce the learning gaps within children. Children who talk a lot have better speech and language and are emotionally mature. Girls tend to overperform boys in comprehension at every single step. Murray suggests that this can be because girls talk more and they mature quicker than boys. This helps the language development. This does not disregard or devalue boys who are good at reading. Must have reading books – The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by W.E.Joyce, The Tear Thief by Carol Ann Duffy. Reading Rocketeers – a programme that can be used as shared reading in Reception and Year 1 or as an intervention for Year 2 and 3. It tries to develop reading skills. The main questions focus on inference, but it based on dialogical pedagogy.   BEST MOMENTS “We went from rock bottom to soaring high.” “Those who communicate quicker, have a richer language and are surrounded and immersed in a rich language linguistical environment will make better progress.” “You might be able to read the but the joy you get through reading is very different.” “Everyone wants to share stories, even if they think they can’t read they will tell you stories.” “Stories are what bind us together as a community and unify us as a humanity.” “When a piece of text touches the heart as well as the head that’s when you get true understanding.” “Pass on your passion and you will never go wrong.” “It’s the memories they will take with them. You want them to remember you as a teacher that fostered love of learning and fostered those beautiful books.” “Stories that touch you and emote you, that make you passionate and show your passion - those are the conversations and engagement you want with children.” “It’s not what the text brings to you it’s also what you bring to the text. It’s that two-way connection that allows you to explore the text deeper.” “There’s no one way that’s the only way.” “Who dictates the pace? The children should.” “Vocabulary is not a skill; it is the glue that binds all your skills together.” “If a child can sing 8 nursery rhymes by the end of the age of 4, they will more or less guaranteed to be in the upper two reading capabilities by the time they are eight.” “The child is more important than curriculum.” “Curriculums come and go, governments come and go, the needs of a child don’t change.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/ Teresa Cremin http://www.open.ac.uk/people/tmc242 Read Write Perform http://www.readwriteperform.com/the-approach.html Reading rocketeers https://www.johnmurraycpd.co.uk/reading-intervention John Murray’s website https://www.johnmurraycpd.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Claire Riley Claire, alongside her husband Ed, is one of the directors of Classroom Secrets, a company she founded in 2013 and which provides outstanding differentiated resources for teachers, schools, parents and tutors worldwide.

A couple weeks ago, I spoke to a friend from college who I hadn't spoken to in…well, longer than it should have been. It's something I'm really trying to work on, but as you probably know, sometimes life gets in the way. Anyway, during the course of our conversation catching up on what was happening in each other's lives, he told me that my design professor and the person who was really the cornerstone of the entire technical theatre department had passed away last year. I hadn't spoken to him since 1989, but the news of his passing left me a little gutted. Herb Camburn was a scenic designer, a costume designer, a director, and an artist. He was one of the most talented people I had ever met, let alone had the pleasure of studying under. When explaining a particular concept, he would routinely grab a pen or pencil and begin to draw—sometimes a costume rendering, other times a scenic elevation—but regardless of what he was drawing, the execution was always impeccable. The real art, however, was that he would make his drawings upside down—either seated or standing—from across the table, so that they would be right side up for the intended viewer, who on more than one occasion was me. I had enormous respect for him and for the skill he made look so effortless. He was gruff, at times incredibly difficult (at least this was the memory of my early twenty-something self), and if praise ever did escape his lips, it meant the world because you knew that you'd earned it.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Pocket Casts | Overcast | RSSThe Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is an Academy Award-winning homage to the printed page and the love of books based on a book by William Joyce.Here's the trailer and a behind the scenes look at a short called The Lost Property Office and one of the things that I absolutely love about this stop-motion film is the fact that everything in it was hand made out of cardboard by filmmaker Daniel Agdag.

Composer John Hunter scored the Academy Award nominated animated short, The Fantastic Flying Books Of Mr. Morris Lessmore. We chat about his approach in scoring a silent film and how the music needed to be the structure of the film. He briefly discusses the animation process of the unique story that combines almost every type of animation found in films today. The film's score is structured around the familiar tune of "Pop Goes The Weasel" so John explains how by the end of the story he didn't want it to feel like a familiar tune but the central theme of the character. The film is up for an Oscar this Sunday!

We are joined this week by the incredibly talented and wonderful person, Harry Valentine (@hairyvalentine). And together we read a book that took three years to complete and won an ACADEMY AWARD. So I think THAT means that it should be good enough for you! The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is a wonderful journey into fantasy and an exploration of the love of a really good book. That is, assuming it isn't just the story Morris's brain concocts as he lies dying in the streets. Ummm..... ENJOY!!!!! Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books new and old, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them 20 years later. We read the books aloud and make fun of them as we go. Enjoy! Follow Sam (@SamGasch) or follow Rachel (@Sknowite). Either way, please subscribe!

“You go to school to learn a craft in some sense, but more than anything else, you’re learning about yourself.” The Michigan-Edmonton duo of Paul & Chris were lucky enough to chat with animator & director Jamil Lahham who shared those words about university. Jamil tells us about the organic nature of traditional animation, animating cycles for iPads and the weight of an Oscar. Jamil was a part of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the Academy award winning The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore and his wonderful short Dirty Laundry Day. If you want to learn even more about Jamil, have a look at this interview at episcura.

The movie and the app are based on a story by WIlliam Joyce. Jamil is learning Python because it works in Maya.

Chris says former guest Sally Ann is a perfect example of making your own way. Stay tuned for part 2 where we learn about Jamil’s animated short and how one stays focused.

As an 8-year-old boy, Brandon Oldenburg was a sponge soaking up all kinds of pop culture. Like just about everyone else on the Planet Earth in 1984, he and his brother were particularly fascinated by Michael Jackson - so much so that they produced their own "Beat It" video. Decades later, Oldenburg would cross paths with the King of Pop at a major turning point in both of their lives. Brandon Oldenburg is no stranger to the spotlight. A founding partner at Moonbot Studios in Shreveport, he won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2012 for his work on the film The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. In addition to his great story, this podcast also includes an interview with Oldenburg about growing up with a uniquely creative dad.

Big budgets, big stars, & special FX galore. It must be Summertime. Well no, it is only mid-April.

Recommendations: “Wrong”, “Love Bug”, “Luminaris”, “3x3”, “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore”
