""Beethoven's Fifth Smoothie"

"Beethoven's Fifth Smoothie" is based on one of the teens's favorite jokes:
 Q: What was Beethoven's favorite fruit?
 A: Bananana!

This film was the first project not written for a contest. Teens created a stop-motion story about various fruits vying for center stage while the ominous blender looms in the background."

Teens across the country were challenged by the Collaborative Summer Library Program to create a video that advertises this summer's Summer Reading Theme, "You Are Here."
Starkville Teens made an awesome stop-motion video that promotes diversity, reading, and the awesomeness of the Starkville Public Library.

"This video won first place for Mississippi and is on the Collaborative Summer Library Program website with other winners from around the U.S."

"Over the summer, the Starkville Public Library YA Film-Making Club also entered the "Go Viral @ Your Library" Contest held by Credo Reference. The teens tied for first place and won the Young Adult Section three iPads with their short film, "National Bibliographic"!"
