Animated Life Lessons

P2T9 Friends Discover Creativity from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

My teammates personal character traits are happy for Wailana, shy and funny for Micah, and creative for Kiana. I will exaggerate Wailana's character traits by having her be really perky and happy all the time. And for Micah's we are going to make him really shy and really funny at the talent show. And for kianas traits were going to make her magical and she will end up giving me and wailana the wish of becoming creative. 

We used humor in our story by making Micah yell when we were practicing for him to speak in public. Also when he performs at the talent show as a comedian, he's gonna say really funny jokes. Our message relates to people because have a shy side or a want to be creative. This film shows that people can over come shyness and become creative in any way. 

Our team's level of productivity with our team that ive never worked with was on and off. At some times out team was really good at time management, but sometimes we are not good at time management. Our biggest challange was getting the scences done in time becasue some of us were having a good time with our animating while other team mates were struggling with finishing thier scenes. I think our best moment during production was eaither when we were coming up with the story or when we finnaly finished the assignment. These were the best moments during production because it was fun making our own story and reliving when we finaly finished the assignment.

Character Development

I think I am an athletic person because I'm active and I play a lot of sports. I think this makes me athletic because I play volley ball, I swim, I surf, and I paddle when I can. Also, during the summer I do a program called Jr.Lifeguard where you train for a week. During Jr.Lifeguard you do running across the beach, swimming, and many body workouts. I also do a volley ball camp for a week during the summer with pro volleyball players who help you train and play better. This is why I think that I am an athletic person.I think that I'm relate able because I'm daring and adventurous.

I plant to exaggerate the traits of being daring and adventurous. I could do this by doing crazy things. I would exaggerate by doing something that no one else would do. I would also go to different places all the time. I would go to places that could be dangerous or exiting. And I would do interesting and unusual things.

The step by step process of creating my GIF character is first taking the picture.Then you cut it out in photo shop open the animation tool bar and puppet warp. That is when you get to create the movement of the figure your using. I like this process because you get to be creative in what your doing. You get to animate and make your own GIF using your own creativity or what you want to do.

My keywords connect with my audience because it can relate to a key word in their life.  They might like the film better because they can relate to it more. The key words can give different emotions to the audience. They can have different emotions to the words based on their memories with that word. I think that if the keywords in the movie are inspirational, so i think that the audience would like to watch an inspirational movie instead of another type of movie trailer.

My overall message of this film is not to give up. The message in this film also says that you can always depend on a friend to help you through everything. This film is to make people know that with confidence and help from a friend you can face your fears and tackle them down. I think that this message is also about not giving up if you don't succeed once. I think that to succeed you have to try again and again until you make it.

I think that the biggest team challenge that I faced was probably getting our filming done. I think that this was the hardest challenge because we had to arrange a time to film and how long were going to be there. It was also difficult to get the under water shots with our Go pro, because It had no floater so we had to be very careful not to drop it. Also our filming also takes place at a rodeo arena. We had to try and find a time for it to be open and, have to be able to have access to the horses.

Tiny Spherical Worlds

The point of more than one images that it has to be a panorama the only way you create a panorama on the computer is stitching photos together. You have to over lap the photos though.If you don't over lap the photos photo merge wont be able to stitch them together. If you only take one photo, then it wont be able to make it into a world and it wont turn out right. If you do more than one image it can turn into a more realistic planet. This is because the images can be stitched to to each other and turned into a circle which will look like every space has another section of the location.

The difference between polar a spherical photos is that when you make your polar you don't have to turn it at an 180 degree angle. So that means for your pano you have to turn your photo at a 180 degree angle. When the photos come out your pano looks like you have your own world. But your spherical looks like your trapped in a world. 

What makes the finished tiny worlds convincing is the back round. When you make it you out line a circle for the world. For the polar you make the back round black so it gives the effect of a world in space. And for the spherical you make the back round white so you can see the circular shape better. And in the final 2 pano's and spherical's your person usually has a shadow. So when it turns out you person looks more realistic because it has a shadow.

2016 Aspirations

The 5 different goals that I will attain in 2016, are : to get better grades, surf more, skate board more often, practice volley ball more often, and start swimming again. I want to get better grades because It'll help me later on in school. I want to surf more because I love doing It and I want to do It as a profession. I want to skate board more because its easy and It helps me surf with the balance factor. I want to practice volleyball more because I also want to do It as a profession. Last.. I want to swim more often because It makes me stronger and faster in the ocean If I practice on a swim team.

Skate boarding is the most important goal to me because its just fun to do and it helps me with balance in surfing. I also want to skateboard more because Its an easy way for transportation and other stuff. Skateboarding Is my most important goal also because I want to do It as a living when I get older. And I think that Its really fun to do all the time.

The steps I will take to ensure success Is to practice more often and try doing tricks and more hills. Ill also get a board for riding and another board for doing tricks. I will mostly skate board as much as I can and try new thing to get better at It. And i will try to get pointers from other skate boarders. Then I will improve on them as much as I can.

hockey Style Joiners

The difference of my photo montages and David Hockney's are that his are both real life photos or sketched photos. His photos are also more abstracted unique when he puts them together.Most of his photos also don't have the borders on each photo but the ones i have do.

I think that images can send positive or negative messages because the images can bring either dark or bright memories. Or the picture can be dark colors and they could show negative messages. The photo can also have bright colors and give the feel of something positive and give a positive message. It depends on the persons visual on the image whether it brings good or bad memories. Or the image can show a positive or negative message in the picture.

The message that i intend my readers to see is that to go out and explore. I took photos of he car because it takes you out into the world. I think this because the best way to live life is to go out there and move on from where you were before. I think that life is about the journey not the destination.

Scratch Game Design

user experience influenced my game because it shows me how exact things have to be. The code only works if the computer is able to process it. If the code has a flaw it can cause a chain reaction to the whole game. It also showed me that you can create anything you can, the decision is up to you how to model it. You can do whatever your mind can think of, you can make a chase game, platformer, or collaborate to make your own game.

The features of each of my games are very different. When I did the platformer it felt more real when I was jumping it almost made it seem more 3D to me. When I made the chase game it was more 2D but it was fun to actually create a video game and it was fun to have the computer chase you.

My best code is my jumping code. This is because It was hard to figure out the right height to jump and to make it work smoothly. Even though the code isn't that long it still a long time to figure out. I over came my best bug fixes by editing them with the strategy trial and error. For example if it wasn't jumping that high i would fix it by changing it and changing it until it worked.
