    • Pine Tree 11th graders Robert J. Ray, Sierra Reese, Lauren Parker, Evelyne Ramirez, and Gisel Veliz recently advanced an original stop motion film to the state semifinals in the UIL Young Filmmaker's Festival.  There were over 700 entries, and they competed in Division II which includes 5A/6A schools from all over the state.  Their film, "A Cheesy Slice of Love," advanced through three preliminary rounds, becoming a state semifinalist as one of the top 12 in its category.  It was edged out in the finals by less than a point.  Films were ranked by three judges, and one judge awarded the film first place.  Students created props to tell a story, and then captured over 1,000 pictures that they edited into a series in order to create the illusion of movement.  Films had to be between 30 seconds to 3 minutes in length.

      "A Cheesy Slice of Love" is a Chaplin-esque film about love, pepperonis, a mushroom, and an alien.  I promise you will never view pizza the same way again.  The film can be watched here.
