We made a little movie about Philippe Petit today. He was a street performer who saw the Twin Towers being built. He thought he should secure a rope between the two towers so he could walk between the Twin Towers. He disguised himself as a construction worker so he could trespass into the towers and secure the rope at night. He walked across the rope and even laid down on the rope. He was on there for about one hour. He got arrested and had to go to court. The judge told him he had to perform in New York City for the kids and the grown ups. A couple kids hung on the rope during the performance. Philippe fell, but caught himself.
We made a theater production about him using the Flip camera paper, markers, pencils, and pencil puppets. Everyone wrote a script. A few people got to film the movies.
