OUR STORY ANIMATION

P5T4 Asha Moves Away from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.


 Our focus statement was Asha Moves Away. In this short video there is both sadness and happiness. This focus statement tells our story because we thought that everyone could relate to it and we wanted to chose a very easy story. Almost all the other teams chose a happy topic with some sadness. In the middle of the story Asha moves away and Lani gets filled with sadness. She gets help from her conscience which was a bird, that we animated in photoshop.

  









The lesson our audience is learning is that if you have a loved one that moves aways than you should let them go. We felt that everyone could relate to this story somehow. Most people say "move on" because they don't want you to feel bad but for the people that have to deal with the situation don't think it is that easy. Sometimes the people could be your mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, or any other family member. In the end we hoped that our audience learned that the only way to let some one go if they leave to let                                                               them and hopefully they will come back.

             


Our worst moments as a team were probably at the beginning. These were the worst parts of our project because only me and Makaio would come in. At the end we would all come in for lunch because we knew it was important. We started to work together more towards the end. Our team could never meet after school because Lani has practice one day, the next day I had practice, then Makaio. In the end we created something very wonderful and we were proud of it.

Animation Outtakes

My teammates were Makaio Gonsalves, Lani Alo, and Asha McGinnis. Some interesting facts about Makaio is that he has 4 brothers and no sisters. He also likes the soccer team FC Barcelona, Makaio also lives in Anahola. Lani lives in Wailua and likes to surf. Asha lives by lani and she likes to surf as well. I guess their like twins because they like to do the same things.

Stop motion animation is where you take multiple pictures and load them into Photoshop and then you get an animation.To create a stop motion animation you take a bunch of pictures that describes what a person is doing, in this you can make it seem like someone is flying, sliding, front flipping, and anything you want.  GIF  is short for the words Graphics Interchange format. You can make really cool GIF with Photoshop, to export these gifs you go like this: File>save for web and devices and you want to chose around 16 to 128. We have been using these on our latest project. When you use Gifs you allow people to see it online.

Our group chose to tell Lani's story on how she once lost a very close friend. You should care because most of the time everyone goes through having someone of great meaning lost. Some of these people could be your grandparent, a best friend, your cousin or anybody close. We chose Lani's story because we didn't have anything else and we thought it would be pretty cool tho do a tragic story. Another reason why you should care is because everybody else chose like a happy topic and we wanted to be unique.
