The Experiment

The experiment was a new thing too our class. Being new to specifically the returning GT students because our teacher Mr. Sanderl would guide us through every step when doing things in class last year. With the experiment though we had a chance to express ourselves in photoshop freely without being told what to do which I personally enjoyed very much. As you can see above my amazing drawing of stuff was created with no help at all although I would consider returning GT students as myself to be cheaters because we kinda already know how to work photoshop but I'm sure it was fun for the new people.

Back to School

My favorite moment in school so far was drawing and creating our own flags in Mrs. Nagatori's class. This is because drawing things is one of my favorite things to do. I have not had any real big challenges lately which is nice. But I have been having trouble with turning in a collage that we have to get done in my AVID class. AVID is a program to help you get ready for college. I will be successful by doing my best and turning all my work in. I hope that I can get a 4.0 this year at least once. Mainly I am just going to try my best and hope for the best and that should help me complete my goals this year.

Five Tips For

Our team chose to do skateboarding. Of course the one skating is me. The reason we chose skating is because skating is really cool, its easy to film and we didn't have any better ideas. But we could have done better with the footage, we needed me doing a kick flip in more places than just one or two. We also could have got me doing a kick flip off a set of stairs. All together though we did pretty well.

Profile Project Progress

     Me and my teammates have been working on this interview were supposed to do. We are interviewing my friends grandma Mrs. Fernandez. The whole point was to get the oldest member of one of our families to tell us a interesting story. We ended up getting Mrs. Fernandez telling us about her family and raising and taking care of her children. We filmed the interview voice-overs and b-roll at her house.

    For the b-roll we had to film her at her house. We got bunch of shots of her family and all her christmas decorations, and yes christmas decorations because she was known as the christmas lady. The voice overs were troubling because unfortunately  we did not have much time to do it.
Raghav Kumar our team member did the voice overs. We lost points because of him though because he didn't have expression. Raghav did read the voice overs clearly but no expression unfortunately.
     In the end we didn't score the highest. Are video turned out ok but we could have done better.
But I think in our teams we worked hard together. Thats what really matters and we tried our best so through my eyes we did pretty good.

Dooooog!!!!

I love Flappy Bird

Practice Story Reflection

     We had to do a story about me making animation. It was about how I started animation and what kept me going with it. We had to make up five questions for the interviewer to ask me. I was the center of attention! It was all about me, it felt good!

    One of the most challenging things was making sure the interview equipment  was good to go. We had to retake our interview and our b-roll. We had to retake the b-roll because the files were not fully imported! We had to retake the interview because my mic wasn't on the whole time! But are team worked out fine. We all encouraged each other and did our best.
     Are interview was pretty good in the end. It was fun at sometimes and stress full at others.
We had to rush. It was crazy! But in the end it all worked out fine.
