Our Animation Story

"Logan Challenges Schedule" is my groups focus statement and its about how logan was going to middle school and he was scared about the new schedule and thinking it be hard to get through the day, so when he first got to school he had a hard time trying to find his way and our group thought it be good for the schedule in our animation would be a monster that he could never get rid of. More and More as he got through his classes the monster got smaller and smaller. Its just showing that we can overcome our fears. No matter how hard whatever were trying to overcome is.

We dont know how strong we are until we face our conflict. From what I know, see, hear, and what I went through is that you can keep letting your mind engrave thoughts into your head, or give you negative ideas of what might happen. The only way you can possibly overcome the problem you are facing is by standing up strong and DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. If you think those negative thoughts are not affecting you and that it will help you in the meantime you are wrong. Its not helping you one bit its slowly making you weaker, which later on in life might give you a hard time.


You will have you ups and downs when working with a team/group. Having ups are wonderful because you may learn new things about that person, maybe even become close friends with someone you never noticed. Then, their will be your downs. Sometimes its frustrating like you want to yell, and scream even strangle someone at times. Thats not necessary though. Having downs gives you a chance to learn from mistakes, even help later on when you are going through the same thing again then you know what will be best for you to say or do. You might learn to have a better patience with others and that will come in handy.

The best memory I had with my team during this project was all of us working together on the White Board animation. We weren't able to put that scene in the video due to some problems but it was definitely fun drawing all as a team. Then their was also some not so perfect memories when wed all get in little arguments over the littlest things. We were not the perfect team because we all tended to get distracted easily and wed get thrown off. So its also good to go with a team that you know you'll stay focused not getting distracted.

Animation Outtakes

Good Afternoon, it is the final quarter and we have one of our final projects to accomplish we must all work as a team. Each team is required four students who we have never worked with through out the year. This will give us a chance to make new friends and to learn about one another before the year ends. So in my group we have Neliza who is a very humorous, kind student, that is very understanding, and a good listener. Next their is Logan who is out going, funny, sarcastic, and likes to spend his time working out at Cross Fit. Lastly, we have Diego who likes to joke around have a good time but can be serious when wanting to accomplish a task.

Stop-Motion is a technique in which a object, or figure is moved in small amounts and then photographed each movement to give an illusion of movement when all the pictures are played continually. .GIF's are formatted images that can move.

We are telling a story about a boy who attends school in the middle of the quarter and is being very negative thinking that today will not turn out well. So we made the schedule in photoshop to resemble a monster just caring him and giving him a hard time this animation is supposed to be about him overcoming his fear and negative thinking that he wont get through the day well and be lost. We should care because once in our lives we've probably felt lost and scared were we think something is going to turn out badly.
