We are truly sensitive to this event and wanted to make a video to inform and get the message across. In the video, we mention what the holocaust is, why it's still important, who was harmed, and other informative information. We worked hard on this video and are excited to submit and show our working abilities as a team. The video we have submitted has great and informative pieces of information with fun transitions and music. We also have many pictures. We are truly grateful to have this opportunity to show our talents and inform people at the same time about a very important event.

An Interpretation of "Winter": Our video takes a look into the story of how the painting, "Winter," by Gari Melchers, was purchased, stolen, and returned, along with its tremendous effect on how art from the past can impact present times. We transformed ourselves to render this painting by telling its story along the way. Even the simplest of pieces can have fascinating and transfixing backgrounds. We chose this piece because we were able to personally connect with the simple subject matter. We found our inspiration in the justice of stolen art being returned.
