Video Haiku
A Haiku is a Japanese 3 line poem using 5-7-5 syllables respectively. This video project will visually illustrate our Haiku. To begin we must storyboard each line of the poem by identifying the main subject of each line. Once we have created a plan of action to follow, we can draw, construct and/or produce the props and sets addressed in our Haiku. Once we are ready with all the visual elements of our poem, it is time to capture the story on video. The next step is to narrate the poem on the video editor, then import the scenes and edit to produce a video that creatively illustrates your Haiku.

Flowers bloom in the sunshine
Bees love happy flowers
Happy bees spread lots of love
Storyboarding the Haiku:

Video Etiquette:
Traditional Haiku:
at the age old pond
a frog leaps into water
a deep resonance
the first cold shower
even the monkey seems to want
a little coat of straw
Blowing from the west
Fallen leaves gather
In the east.
- Buson
From time to time
The clouds give rest
To the moon-beholders.
- Bashō
A kite floats
at the same place in the sky
where yesterday it floated ...
― Yosa Buson (1716-1783),
Dark-bosomed clouds
pregnant with heavy thunder ...
the water breaks
― Michael R. Burch
The butterfly
perfuming its wings
fans the orchid
― Matsuo Basho,
Pausing between clouds
the moon rests
in the eyes of its beholders
― Matsuo Basho,
War
stood at the end of the hall
in the long shadows
― Watanabe Hakusen,
ground squirrel
balancing its tomato
on the garden fence - Don Eulert
I walk across sand
And find myself blistering
In the hot, hot heat
Falling to the ground,
I watch a leaf settle down
In a bed of brown.
It’s cold—and I wait
For someone to shelter me
And take me from here.
