"Meet Annie: The girl who could fly" This commercial shows an elementary school class that is learning about the history of flight. They start out with some practical examples, and make paper airplanes to throw out the window. The teacher then shows them some old films of early airplanes and gliders. One girl is completely in awe and decides immediately that she wants to fly too. She starts by climbing up on her parents' old car and jumps off while holding an umbrella. That doesn't work, and the mom needs to get out the first aid kit to fix her up. Luckily it doesn't stop her, and she is soon wearing a pair of old goggles with a set of cardboard wings attached to her back. She runs down a hill with this contraption on, and while we don't see her fail, the next scene shows her pouting a bit as she tries to figure out what to do next. She flips through a flip book with a cartoon airplane on it, and gets an idea. She starts researching green screens on her Dell laptop. Next she attaches a camera to a long pole and films students at school from the second floor, as well as getting clips of a lot of different things, and importing them onto her laptop. In art class, she paints lots of large pieces of paper green and brings them home rolled up in her backpack so she can create her homemade greenscreen. When she is done, she shows her video to her class, and it has her magically flying through the air. This is the story of a girl named Annie who dreamed she could fly. There were the doubters, the non-believers, the no-way-you-can-do-iters, but like others that braved the sky before her, it took a mighty machine, brilliant ingenuity, and plain old stubbornness to go where no fifth grader had gone before. And she flew and she soared above the schoolyard and even over that Eliza Jones, and beyond. My name is Annie, and I'm the girl who dreamed she could fly.
