And have we learned a lot!

Credits should also go to : Erwaoui marwan Khaliid Idbali Motasdik Kawtar Inawi Khadija And the Staff of the ANPS, who made it all possible.

This film was made by students from Oaxaca, Mexico and Ottawa, Canada during an AYV visit to Ottawa, Canada. The students saw that their film-making group was incredibly diverse and represented seven countries among the seven team members. This inspired them to create a film which represented the diversity they saw in their group and reflected the diversity of Canada as a whole. The students profile the diversity of their group while explain why people came and come to Canada, and what they achieve there. The highlight of the film is that the students realise that Canadian people from all cultures come together in peace and work together to create a multicultural and happy environment in which to live.

This video was created with the theme of loneliness and friendship.

Paul Graff, multi-award winning VFX supervisor, of Crazy Horse Effects talks about how After Effects inspired him to love pixels and blow up stuff.

We decided to choose this topic because we feel everyone is insecure about something and we wanted to address some of our insecurities. We interviewed students whom had insecurities, and we used the most common topics. We wanted our peers to relate to them. We had three students draw how they view themselves and then how society viewed them so we took a full body shot. I think what stood out in the film was the imagine in the end we wanted to inspire others to be themselves and to love who they are as a person regardless of what society says. We want others to see that they are not alone. We want everyone to try not judging a book by its cover. We learned how much everyone struggles with different things on a daily basis and just because they smile and dress nice doesn't mean that on the inside they feel okay.
