About 20 students at Westmere School worked together to make a 30 sec TV ad for the Little Day Out.

Thanks to special guests Jordan Luck, Producer Jack Sainte-Rose and Director Jesse Warn from Film Construction, who all took part and Triangle TV for showing the ad.

Thanks also to teachers and parents who helped behind the scenes.

Here is a copy of the video in Quicktime (.mov) format. It is about 4mb in size and should play in the browser for most of you.
