Frankenlime

Inspired by her great-great-great-grandfather, Frankie Stein, decides to build a 'monster' of her own...but this time with a lime for a brain!

Based loosely on Mary Shelley's original 'Frankenstein', the story of Frankenlime takes the classic Sci-Fi horror and gives it a comedic (and musical) citrus twist!

Starting out as a lunchtime writing club in Year 6, with ideas being submitted via Google Classroom over the Easter holidays, the idea and storyline for the film was quickly brought together. From jokes about silly STEM club members with exploding slime, to monsters offering bananas as gifts, what you see on the screen is very much the children's ideas brought to life.

Following auditions for key roles and interviews for film crew, the production quickly moved into action. With students filming in between lessons, as well as negotiating school residentials, sports days and bikeability weeks, this enormous 49 scene movie, with a cast of 50 and crew of 10, was brought to life in amazingly only 5 weeks to make!

From enormous 50 actor talent show set pieces, too claustrophobic science lab scenes, and even Godzilla inspired special effect shots, none of this amazing project would have been possible without the dedication and commitment of all the children and adult helpers involved.

Please enjoy the movie. Also, check out the production gallery, as well as a few of the documents collected together, that give an insight into the children's experience.

We'll be adding more Frankenlime content and news over the next few weeks, so make sure you keep checking for updates.
