Describe a challenge (or set of challenges) you faced in planning for your sequence.
how to animate the part of the video that you had. there were alot of things to do and it was hard to find out which one was the best way to do it.


How did you meet the challenge?
i did something that i did all of media arts one and i was good at it and i enjoyed doing it i just did both my projects in flash they were pretty simple projects but i feel they got the message across.


Describe your rationale for animating what you animated, and for using the method (stop frame vs cut paper vs handdrawn vs rotoscope etc) you chose.
well i was always good at flash i enjoyed making projects in it last year for media arts 1 so when i figured out that i could do that i figured that would be the best idea for me because i was good at it i enjoy it and its fairly simple to do.


What was the best part of the project? The worst?

coming up with the stories to animate and watching everyones animation everyones ideas were really funny and the stories made it easy to animate it and just get a good laugh out of it.

Protagonist vs. Antagonist Brainstorm Writing

Copy and paste this onto your blog. (command C, command V)

You will write details about six characters; three antagonists, three protagonists.

Begin with one character, a protagonist. Write down their name. Write their current desires and motivations in life. Write down their childhood/backstory. These are the most important pieces.

Now write down their physical description, physical quirks, personality flaws. This is secondary to the motivation and backstory. It’s the icing on the cake, and it’s still important.

Now write that character’s nemesis using the exact same process (desires, backstory, physical ing onionsand personality quirks, etc). Think about why and how they are blocking the protagonist from achieving their goal. Is it malicious? Accidental?

Repeat this with two other sets of characters.

NOTE: You do not have to use all or any of these characters for your video if you don’t want to. It is an exercise to get you thinking about character building. On the other hand, this may trigger some brilliant thought that leads to a wonderful video project. You won’t know unless you put your heart and head into it.

There once was a boy named corey who all he wanted to do was get rid of commercials. He loves to watch tv but he cant stand those pointless commercials trying to sell things no one will ever want to buy. He is a small and skinny kid that is not involved with sports he is more of a movie maker than a sports guy. He also is not the most popular guy in the world. But there are people in this world that will never let the thing that he hates most stop showing in between his favorite show which is barney. These people are selfish and trying to get rich, they wear suits all the time, they are bigger and smarter than he is. they never listen to anyone especially little kids but corey has motivation to rid the world of the most pointless things called commercials.

Best friends fight:

Setting: living room then moves outside

Mood: happy then serious

Two friends sitting on a couch relaxing and talking about how they both need to find a girlfriend to go to homecoming with. They talk about some girls that they think they can get together with but are not really excited about any of them. So the friends go outside to play basketball and a girl walks by and says she is new to the neighborhood and would like to make some friends. So right there it becomes a competition between them to get the girl. They both try very different things to impress her like opening the door for her and taking her out to dinner and being friendly. Then they both ask her to homecoming and say she must pick one. This girl starts to ruin their friendship. But it turns out that she chooses neither of them and she chooses a different guy to go to homecoming with and they both end up not going and just hanging out with each other instead to try and save their friendship.

“Mashed potatoes”

Setting: inside a house

Mood: happy

Two friends are hanging out in one of their bedrooms and one of the friends finds a box of mashed potatoes in his room. So he asks his friend what is this doing in your room? The friend replies a little nervous saying that he doesn’t know how it got there. But his friend doesn’t believe him and asks him if he was doing mashed potatoes. His friend getting more nervous and starts to perspire a little bit says no. But his friend notices that he is sweating and that he has a nervous tone in his voice and says tell me the truth if you are or not. His friend starts to sweat bullets and takes a paper towel and wipes his forehead with it then wrings it out as sweat makes a puddle on the floor because he is perspiring so much and finally admits to it. His friend says you need help and I can help you if you would like. His friend says he will stop. But then a few weeks later he finds three mashed potato boxes in his room and tells his friend either it’s the potatoes or me pick one because I cant be friends with someone that is doing that kind of thing all the time and he walks out. His friend takes a few days and finally he tried to do mashed potatoes again but he couldn’t because all he was thinking about was how they were controlling his life and how they were costing him his friendship. So he goes outside and his friend is sitting on his porch and they talk and he says he is done with mashed potatoes for good because he would rather have a friend than mashed potatoes in his life.

We got real pissed

Will you look at this shit?

                  1.What kind of details does Carver choose to describe the “place?” 



                  Looks like a garage sale.

                  Middle of a neighborhood because lights came on up and down the street

                   

                  2.What do the following passages tell you about the place? 

“The girl sat on the bed. She pushed off her shoes and lay back. She thought she could see a star.” 

“Lights came on in the houses up and down the street.”



It feels like home to them. It is in a neighborhood because lights came on up and down the street.

                   

                  3.Now look at the passages that you chose. How do they talk about the place? Why are they important or unimportant? 


while they are there they make the place sound like a normal garage sale looking at everything that they are trying to sell to see what they would be interested in buying but when they go home and talk to their friends they say things like “will you look at this shit?” and “we got real pissed and danced.” And “the old guy give it to us and all these crappy records.”

Criteria: Group Movie Project


Describe your role in the production of the class movie. How did your contribution make things more efficient? How did you help make the movie better? What specific contributions did you make? Did you go above and beyond, or simply show up? Be honest.

i was not here for the majority of the production but when i was here i think i was helpful i tried to contribute as much as i could by helping film the montage and contributing ideas that i thought would make the scene better.


Describe one or more things you learned about the writing process that you did not know before working on this project.

it takes a lot longer than i had originally thought it would have taken to create a quality film i thought it was a shorter process but the key is in the details in making a good quality film that people can follow along with it and understand what is going on and how the characters are feeling throughout the movie.


Describe one or more things you learned about the production (filming) process that you did not know before working on this project.
you can just kind of mess around with it with everyones ideas to see which one works the best to make the scene the best fit for the movie but in doing this it makes the filming process longer than you originally intended it to take to film the movie but thats ok as long as the end result is the quality you were shooting for at the beginning then why would it matter to anyone how long it took to plan all the scenes and how long it takes to film it as long as the end result is the same quality you were shooting for.


Describe one or more things you learned about the post-production (editing, sound, etc.) process that you did not know before working on this project.
the editing is just playing around with the film you got to make it come together in the best possible way sometimes it takes a long time sometimes it takes two minutes it depends on the film you have and the ideas you have for that film if your first idea works great but sometimes you have to keep going back and editing the littlest things because like i said before the key is in the details


Are you satisfied with the final product? Why or why not? Be honest.
yes im very satisfied with the end product i think it is a quality film that people can understand follow and feel how the characters are feeling throughout the film which are the three qualities i think every decent film have.


Suggest one improvement for next year’s class. What could I do to make it easier/better/more informative/more fun?
be creative with your ideas i don't think we thought outside the box enough when we came up with the ideas for the film
