Daylight: A Doodle Music Video
Sadie Lidji
My name is Sadie Lidji, and I am 12 years old. I’m inspired by the lyrics of my favorite songs to make drawings and collages. Then, I connect those drawings with the song. I call them ‘doodle music videos’. They are visually fun to experience but a very tedious experience to create them, but in the end, it’s a very fulfilling feeling to have made a film that you know you have worked so hard on. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did in making it.
The Gopher

Sparky the 15 year-old rat terrier is determined to catch the taunting gopher. Desperate to stop the ridicule, Sparky lets Chuco, a white poodle, in on the action. Will Sparky catch the Gopher? Will Chuco make a difference? Watch and see how the story unfolds.
