6th graders needed film clips for their Greek god commercials.

8th graders needed a focus for their machinima club.

It is said that necessity is the mother of invention.

In this case, it turned out to be the mother of collaboration.

How it worked:

• 6th graders requested various scenes such as "2 gods fighting", "gods kissing", or "god sitting on a bench drinking". 
• Requests were given to the 8th grade machinima club.
• 8th graders had to figure out how to create characters, make scenery, set up the shots and capture the footage. 
• Clips were collected from the 8th grade club and made available to the 6th graders. 
• 6th graders reviewed clips and provided feedback. They were quite critical and some scenes were sent back for revision.
• 8th graders were given the feedback. They responded to the criticism, made changes and reshot some scenes.
• 6th graders used various clips to create their commercials.
