Flick’s golden tickets
-
Golden ticket 1
Light is super fast. It zooms about 186,000 miles every single second!
-
Golden ticket 2
Light travels in straight lines. When it hits something, it can bounce off, pass through, or get soaked up.
-
Golden ticket 3
Stars don't leave in the daytime. The bright sky just hides them. A movie screen works the same way!
-
Golden ticket 4
See lightning? Count the seconds until the thunder. Every 5 seconds means the storm is about 1 mile away.
-
Golden ticket 5
Flip books are old! One was patented way back in 1868 and called a kineograph, which means moving picture.
-
Golden ticket 6
Movie film usually shows 24 pictures every second. Your brain turns those tiny changes into motion.
-
Golden ticket 7
A zoetrope is a spinning drum with slits. Peek through while it spins and the drawings inside seem to move!
-
Golden ticket 8
Foley artists make movie sounds by hand. Knock two coconut halves together and you get clip-clop horse hooves!
-
Golden ticket 9
Flap a pair of old leather gloves really fast. It sounds like a bird flapping its wings!
-
Golden ticket 10
Before filming, moviemakers draw a storyboard: a plan of every shot. Stick figures are totally fine!
