Our Animation Story

Our focus statement tells our story because it is about how Kynan is afraid of everything, especially death, and meets up with death in his dream and the nay way to stop the out of control plane is to beat death in a game of chess. This story is completely made up and is not true, but has a deeper meaning to it than just playing chess to save lives. That meaning is to stand up for yourself and others around you, that are either stranger or family. My group chose this because everyone has that moment that will either make or break them and sometimes you have to do the right thing even though it would be much easier to just let go. The moral of this paragraph is, to never give up, and don't let it go. (haha Frozen references)

Our audience will learn about how it is never good to give up. As in my last paragraph I said that even if you are scared then you still can do it, it just takes a little more effort, and a bit more encouragement. Our audience will learn this by seeing our story and saying "even though Kynan was scared of... Everything, he still pulled through in the end and saved the plane. I think it is important for everyone to know this lesson because I think now people are starting to get dependent on machinery and technology. Even though we think were all strong and mighty and the superior  species, some of us would not last a day without technology. Within a month all of us who use technology would go mad. Our story teaches us about how we can pull through if we can do it mentally.

My best moment as a team would probably be just hanging out having fun, and shooting stop motion.  Overall it was just a fun experience to have a tiny bit of stress to work my butt of and try to come out with the best quality my team and I could produce. The worst moment would probably be geared toward the end of our project because we were all doing our own separate thing and we didn't communicate a s well as we did before. Sometimes we would start scenes someone else had already be working on, and sometimes somebody would come in at lunch, leave and then the other people come in right after they left. Now that I look at that scenario it is actually really funny, but when it happened it was so annoying. Anyway wish us luck on our project. Peace out.
Oh wait stay, never mind, look at my amazing animation video at the top of the page. Ok, now peace out.

Animation Outtakes

We are starting our animation process again this year! Except this time I actually know what I am doing. Now I love animations, especially creating them, they just look really cool. My teammates for this project are Kynan Ledee, Mason Doo and Kamalei Berg. Now here are some interesting facts about my teammates. Did you know Kynans favorite food is Pizza? Also he likes TACOS! Did you know, for some strange reason, Mason and Kamalei are mistaken for each other? As well as sometimes Kamalei likes to Bogey board. Mason (or Kamalei I DON'T KNOW) is in boy scouts and likes to read specific books.

Stop-Motion is when you look like your moving but really it is just a strand of pictures hung together. For example if you take a picture of someone taking a step, then another picture of them moving slightly, then another picture, then another, then another until you have a man moving without video! A GIF is a video just playing in a loop. Usually GIF's are about one to five minutes long and just keeps on playing over and over again. That's what a loop is, a video just playing over and over.

We are telling Kynan's story for our animation. Well kind of Kynan's story. We warped it so that it is more interesting, but it is based off of Kynan getting on an airplane for the first time. He falls into a deep sleep when his plane is out of control and falling fast! Except in his dream he meets up with death or Kamalei and gets challenged to a duel in chess. All of this is just to say that even if things get hard you still need to keep trying. Even if you are afraid of everything like Kynan, not really but, still do it!

ANIMATIONS ARE AWESOME
