Kids make movies by adding clips, changing characters, props and backgrounds, then writing their own dialog. You can try it too!
Zimmer Twins
What happens next? You decide!
Meet Edgar and Eva Zimmer – 12 year-old psychic twins who, along with their pet cat 13, get into all sorts of mischief. The twins weren’t always psychic so learning to deal with their new-found powers of mind-reading, levitating and teleporting takes some work and also takes them to interesting places. The Twins find themselves in the jungle searching for a hidden treasure, discovering the perils of fortune cookies, and teleportation as well as squaring off in a battle for Rock n’ Roll supremacy.
The Zimmer Twins is a unique opportunity for broadcasters to involve audiences in the creative process and provide a truly interactive television experience. Kids create and share animated movies using an innovative online editing tool and a library of animation. The very best movies are selected by the broadcaster and produced for TV. The Zimmer Twins gets kids to use their imagination, hone their story-telling skills and become mini-movie directors!
