Trying to think of a creative project that harnesses music and film, then think no further check out BoomAcademy.

BOOM! Music Video Academy uses the coolest music from the backing of the pioneers of the music video, MTV, and the latest video editing software from Adobe to enable teachers and students to create their own music videos.

BOOM! challenges you to tap into your creativity and produce the music videos of tomorrow.

Teachers can download a plethora of resources ranging from posters and lesson plans to copyright free music files to be used in the video.  You can also view past winners videos to be used as inspiration and challenge your students.  The student interface is really cool, it is very interesting to see the different approach to the website for students and teachers.

Even though the competition is being organised by Adobe and MTV, there is no requirement to use adobe software.  I wonder if there would be any scope in using the web based software discussed by Theo at the recent Teachmeet: Jumpcut and VideoEgg.
