In G.T. we were assigned to create a "Tell your story" animation. My team members are Ehu,
Maceo,
Seth Two interesting facts about each teammate in my group is Ehu is tall and enjoys playing sports such as volleyball and basketball. Maceo is fast in using stykz animation and is great at playing dodgeball. Seth is good at snowboarding and you may find him out in the water bodyboarding.
Stop-motion also known as stop frame is an animation technique to make a physical object to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between each individual photographed frame, creating an illusion of movement when all of the frames are played as a continuous sequence. .GIF stands for Graphics Interchange format and supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image and allows a single image to reference its own palette of up to 256 different colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space.
Our group chose Maceo's story which is about him and two of his teammates Ehu and Seth. They go to a Student Video Competition in Florida. While they are getting ready for the competition, Maceo and Ehu get into a fight and Ehu decides to leave. The purpose for our story is to teach people to never give up and that arguing doesn't solve problems. If you work well with your team then you will get things done faster.
Our focus statement which is "Friend solves conflict" tells our story because Maceo, Seth and Ehu go to Florida for a video competition. Ehu and Maceo get into a fight and Seth helps them stop fighting and solve the problem. The main problem in the story was when 2 of the teammates could not get along and finish work because they would argue. The team is trying to defeat the all time champion from the STN competition so they need to hurry and make their invention better so they can win 1st place.
The lesson that the audience will learn is if you ever get into a fight about something, always remember that arguing will not solve any problem. In our animation movie, Maceo and Ehu get into a fight and Ehu decides to leave Florida and go back home. Then Seth tries to help solve the conflict so that Ehu will change her mind and come back to Florida to help the team. If you use all the time that you have arguing then you will not get things done.
Our best moment as a team was when we split up all of the work to finish the scenes. Our team got a lot of the work done when we were working hard and not playing around. We used all of the time Mr. Sanderl could possibly give us to finish our animation movie so we could fix any little mistakes and edit it to make it better. Our worst moments as a team was when we would talk and not finish filming the scenes that needed to be done. In the end when our class watched all of the teams animation videos, they voted on our characters/sets/props and creativity/originality/execution.
