Welcome to Communication Technology where the only limitation is your imagination!
Please find below a collection of student work from the various communication technology programs offered at Central Huron Secondary School. Currently, CHSS offers a Grade 10 Communication Technology program (TGJ2O), Grade 11 (TGJ3M), and Grade 12 (TGJ4M). These courses expose students to the art and technical aspects of photography, movie making, video editing, design, desktop publishing and animation. We attempt to cover a diverse range of hands on activities and expose students to industry standard software and equipment. These courses are largely project based and the focus is on skill development and fun!
During the 2008/2009 school year, we had a number of students enter a variety of contests in both animation and video. Three groups traveled to Wilfred Laurier University for the Imagyn Film Festival. All three groups were honoured by having their movies shown on the big screen. They received feedback from professors, students and members of the community.
Thank you for your interest. Please enjoy the samples of student work. They are a fantastic group of students!
Please check the site frequently for updates from students. Here are a few from the 2009/2010 school year.
First we have the Stop Motion Animation Dance Promotion from the Grade 12 Communication Technology class.

MoviesCSI Clinton —Get ready for some local CSI action! This wonderful piece was created as a mini movie project by Robyn Doig, Sammy Robinet, Stephanie DeJong and Lindsay Dolmage.

This movie has been entered into the Imagyn Film Festival to prevent violence in schools.

Stop Motion Animation
These are truly a treat! All Stop Motion Animations are created by Grade 11 TGJ3M classes. Stop Motion is an animation technique that makes the impossible seem possible. Students compose still photographs and learn how to render them so they appear to move. This is a lot of work, but so much fun! We have several Stop Motion Animations that are being entered into an Animation Festival in Toronto. Look for us—the event is covered by a live Webcast in June!
Carissa / Sara / Tyler —This was their first attempt at Stop Motion, and it is wonderful. These are abstract scenes put together with a consistent transition. Authors: Carissa Schenck, Sara Johns, Tyler Mudde.
Cell Phone —These girls make a drawing come to life then turn into a physical phone. An exceptional piece of work! Authors are Chantel Murray and Stephanie Wood-Taylor.
Glad Final —Can drawings come to life? Yes they can! Amber Walton, Danielle Kruse and Kody Jacobs do a fantastic job of animating their drawings. With nothing but a camera and a white board, you will be amazed at what these students create.
Grand Prix —A race through the school on some unique vehicles. Brilliantly mastered by JB Underwood, Jordan Rinn, and Taylor Williamson.

Just a heads up, not everyone operates on windows, so wmv files are not always the most wise choice.
