Animated Life Lessons

P2T1 Adventure Builds Friendship from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.


In my group my team mates are Mike,Shanden, and me of course. But in our animation Shanden's character traits were creative, funny and Dare devil. But, I think that not all of those character traits really  as much as we wanted them to such as funny and creative because in the story I don't think you would see him as a funny and creative person. Next, there was Mike who was funny,adventures, acceptable to other ideas and finally understanding but I think most of Mikes character traits where more successfully expressed than Shanden's traits were. Lastly there where my traits which  was Funny and talkative,but in our story I don't think that I really exaggerated my personal traits, but in the end it all worked out and our visuals came out really good.


We will use most of our personal traits in the story and then we will show how we feel and our sense of humor in our story and our visuals. So, in the end our stories message is going to be that you have to respect nature and wildlife because they are living beings to and you have to treat them how you would want to be treated. But, in the end our personal treats were exaggerated to our highest abilities. But, lastly our over all message was really powerful and I think that our audience can for sure have a relation ship with our over all message,when they watch our amazing video.

I have never worked with my team before and on my team there is Mike and Shanden. But, first lets talk about Shanden. Shanden did all his scenes,But he never came in at recess at lunch to help us think of ideas and finish his scenes so we barley got it turned in in on time. Next there was Mike who helped a lot and came in every recess and finished all of his scenes and even helped me do all mine correctly and save them correctly. Our first challenge we faced was finishing the script because only Mike new what the whole story was going to be about, so we had a big challenge trying to help finishing the script, as a team.Then, our best moment during production was when it was the last day to work and we started working on IMOVIE in the last 10 minutes and then we finally turned it in and we all took a deep breath in and out for a sign of relefe.

Character Development

I think I am a cooperative and trustworthy person that everyone can trust. I am also a responsible person that can do any job to my highest abilities.But, most of the time if you have known me for a while now that I am a big joker and just want to get my work done really fast I just rush(RARELY). And most of the times you would think of me as a very funny person. But, that is something that I shouldn't do so I should catch my self when I am doing that. But most of the time I think that I am really responsible and I do each and every piece of my work to the best of my abilities.But, if you have never met me before you would probably would think that I was most of these things.

W

hen I am animating myself my character traits are going to be loud and proud in what I have to say. Another character trait I have is always being a funny person, and making everyone around me laugh. Also, another imperfection that I would think of myself as is a person that sometimes I will get a little bit of task in the middle of something really important. I can animate myself by putting all my character traits into my animated person and I can do this by looking at the FocusWall and turning all of this in on time.


First in creating my GIF person I have to first of all cut out my person,and then after I have to crop my person so then The image is not really big and it won't slow my computer down. Then I would puppet warp and place pines on my body. Also, after I am finished with that I have to Frame and adjust my layers. After, I have to adjust my timing of my character and make sure it doesn't go to fast or to slow. Lastly When I am finished with all those steps then I can put a background and turn this project in.

.Mov Film Festival

P2T1 Coral Becomes Gymnast from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.


I think my keywords connect with my audience because it says a lot about my story ,and what the meaning and purpose of my story is . So, I think my keywords will connect with my audience, by telling my audience an important message about my film, or story, for example some of my keywords are ( determination, passion,active, love, belief,commitment, and fears ect) And my purpose to my film or story is, that you have to  keep on  trying to reach success even if you fail, So  It think that my keywords will connect with my audience and it will tell them a lot about the purpose and reasoning of my film.

My message I would like to share with my audience, is to not to be afraid to try something new because something good might come out of it.We are going to send that message in our film by having a girl that is not active and never wants to try something new.And then finally in the and she is going to relies that trying new things isn't always bad and in her case it brought something good out of here. So, now she has a purpose and a real goal to accomplish in her life. So, if you are ever get an opportunity to try something new, just take it, and think of things that you can accomplish with that learning experience.

In my film, my biggest challenge was taking videos of me teaching Coral how to do the moves on the bars because I kept on messing up and failing and falling of the bar. So, Raja had to keep on re-taking that video over andover again, and that was one of the biggest challenges. Also another challenge for me was taking the video of me doing tricks on the beam because I kept on falling of the beam, and so Coral had to keep on re-taking that video over and over again. In the end there there wasn't really that much challenges that stopped me or concerned

Tiny Spherical Worlds

I think you should take more than one photo when you are taking a composite shot because if you take more than one photo then it will look better, and serve a great purpose when seeing the whole landscape rather than just seeing  one part of the landscape. Also if you take more than one photo then you will also get the whole see the whole scene which looks better than just one picture, which is just one part of that scene. So if ever taking a photo take try to give a little bit more effort and take more than one photo. Then to make it even better overlap your photos more than 10 percent, so that the whole process of editing and cropping the photo is way easier.

Polar and spherical panoramas are different because polar panos are like a few pictures bunched into one and then smeared together to create a miniature world.But, a spherical panoramic is just a sphere shape picture  that is made from taking 25 to 30 photos and then bunching them all together to make panoramic shot that makes, or covers a whole landscape. Another reason spherical and polar panoramas are different is because spherical photos are harder to make. For example, you have to do a few more steps and do a whole different process and a little bit more to make you spherical panoramic into a miniature world.


I  think that my finished results should come out really good by being creative and if I do my work with a potential, then it will make others think that I work hard and that my finished result are creative and is made with great potential.But they also might think
  that my tiny world is convincing everyone that looks at it to work hard and learn new things so that you can get a really good result such as this one. Finally an other thing that convinces the people that looks at my spherical,and polar panoramas is to think that I did a great job and I work really hard.

Hockney Style Joiners

I think my photomontages are diffrent than David Hockney's is because David Hockney's photomontages are of diffrent style settings then my photomontages. They are also diffrent because he takes a lot more photos than me, and he uses a diffrent app to edit his photos. Another reason is that he goes through a hole other process of making his work creative and diffrent than anybody else's.


Images can send all kind of messages that can be negative or positive. For example if I took a picture of some cracked dirt and one little flower sprout, that would be an example of hope, which is positive. But, if I took a picture of two ships crashing and bad weather then that would be an example of fear, which is a negative topic. So, all images have a positive or negative topic.

In all my images I try to get the message of positivity. In my photomontage ,I also try to get the message of creativity because in my photomontage I picked a creative subject, that betrays a lot of my personality.Another message I try to give out to is the message of happiness  because whenever I create a photomontage I want everyone that looks at my image to think happy thoughts.  So, in all my photos i try to show all of my personality.

2016 ASPIRATIONS


During 2016 as a six grader, I have five goals which are, to be vegan for a whole week. My second goal is to come to school at 7:30 every day. My third goal is to get straight As for the rest of the year. My forth goal is to become really good at surfing. Finally my last goal is to make new friends every where I may go. 


My most important goal is to be a vegan for a week because I really want to become a whole year round vegan one day, and I think it will git me of to a good start if I do it for a whole week. Also there are many health benefits from being a vegan.Including, you get in better shape and you will increase your chance of living longer longer and you will also would be in a better mood at feel great because your not eating innocent animals.

To ensure success I will make a conscious effort to achieve these goals by. Having one vegan meal every day so it can be easier for me when I am brave enough to be a vegan for a whole week straight.Also, I can be nice everyone that I meet so that I can make new friends wherever I may go, and I can surf everyday after school so I can get a little bit better every single day. Those are the things I am going to do to re-achieve success.

Scratch Game Design



My user experience influenced my game because I had to make my game so that it is actually fun to play rather than just getting it done with. Another reason why the user experience influenced my game is because I had to make my characters move smoothly, and make my game creative and entertaining.

My game platform game and my chase game can be similar and alike and different. My chase game and plat former game can be different because, first of all my chase game is all about the ghost chasing the the girl.But, my chase games can be alike because they both still have a couple of bugs.


In my plat former game my best code that I did was the simple jumping code. But, my biggest bug were trying to get my sprite to get to the red box because I did not collect the right code so my sprite just kept on going crazy. My second biggest bug was getting my timer to count down because it is one of the requirements.
