Our Animation Story

Hey guys!! it's me again the writer of this blog that you are of course reading right now, haha:)) Well hope you enjoy reading this blog post and make sure you tune into my next post enjoy!!

Our current project right now is to create an Animation based on a real life story that happened to one of our teammates. I explained what our story is about in my previous blog post so you can check that out after you're done with this one or you can take quick look and come back doesn't really matter to me:)) Our focus statement is "Raiden discovers Origami." Our focus statement basically tells the story of how Raiden found his true talent and the struggles he had along the way to actually discover it.

Our audience will learn that you can't just give up on something you have to look deep down because some talents come out of nowhere and you have to look for them. they will learn how to not give up from this animation by just watching and listening on how Raiden didn't give up and how he had to look for his talent and be dedicated to it so he could get better. The audience can listen to how he responded with other people who actually had talent and how he didn't have any talent, but he tried and tried and tried in finding something special and with heart and dedication he stumbled upon his new talent. We want to get across that you might think you don't have any talent or that you're just really boring, but the truth is you have to actually find your talent and your uniqueness because everyone is different in a lot of ways, but it's up to you to discover it.

Our best moments as a team were actually splitting up the jobs and all teammates collaborating together. Then after finishing the scenes, the sound track, and other things related to the animation we all got together and imported them into iMovie. The hardest moments as a team were at first figuring out great ideas for our focus statement and actually agreeing on one because we all had different ideas. Some of us didn't want the ideas others had like Raiden would come up with one idea and I didn't agree or i came up with one and Linden didn't agree. As time went on our team Raiden, Linden, Quinn, and me.

Well that's all for now hope all of you Talianators tune into my next blog post!! big spoiler alert, but our next project has something to do with music!!:)))) See you guys next time bye i love all of you:*!! <3<3<3<3

Animation Outtakes

Hey, it's Talia again and our current project for GT is to create an animation story about one of our teammates; our story is about Raiden. My other teammates are Linden Johns and Quinn Consylman. One interesting fact about Quinn Consylman is that he never goes outside unless he has to go to school. Another interesting fact about Quinn is that he hasn't cut his hair since last year. One interesting fact about Raiden Kurisu is that he is 100% Japanese, but can speak good English. Another thing about Raiden is that he is extremely good at making origami figures. One interesting dfact about Linden is that he learned to read and do math from a cook book. Another interesting fact is that when he was in first grade the first day was so easy that the next day he was moved up to 2nd grade. One interesting fact about me is that I have been playing soccer for about 8 years straight. Another interesting fact is that I believe I am related to George Washington.

In this project we are required to use animation techniques so, I'm here to explain just a couple of those animation techniques. One animation technique is called stop-motion. Stop- motion is basically just trying to make a object or person appear that it's moving in its own. Another animation technique is GIF. Gif is short for Graphics Interchange Format, which is just multiple frames playing over and over again. There are a couple more animation techniques that are pretty cool and really interesting that we could also use in our story like Styks, Photo Shop animation, claymation, etc.

We are telling Raiden's story. His story is about how he discovered his talent which is creating Origami figures and how he struggled at having a special talent. He always wanted  a special talent, until the day he thought of making a crane and apparently made it with no help at all. He started practicing and practicing on his origami figures and struggled a lot, but he found this cool website, YouTube. YouTube really helped him get better at his passion and here we are making an animation story that talks about Raiden and how he found Origami. You should care because we are talking about how hard it was for Raiden to find his talent when all the other kids in his school had already found it and how Raiden felt lonely because he was the only one that didn't have this special, amazing, and incredible talent. We exp-lain the struggle and dedication he had to find his talent. If I were you I would totally care about this story because it has meaning. That meaning is about Raidne and his discovery of his special talent, Origami.

That's the end of this blog guys haha:)) Hope you guys stay  tuned to my next blog post and i'm opretty sure that it will have the final animation story See you guys later:)) Peace Out Talianators
