Hello again

Hi People. I haven’t used this blog for a while, but I decided to continue. We haven’t really started with the blog yet for the school year so.. The reason is we have a new teacher. Our new teacher’s pretty great. So this blog will consists more of some personal drawings and projects. If we start our blogs for this year maybe we’ll be able to post these stuff. So for my own personal projects and stuff I’m not gonna be as formal as when I write for my school projects. Thank you for reading and Cut!

Music Video Finale

P3T2 Hall of Fame from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Our new project is a music video! It is gonna be awesome!!!! So my new team is Ella, Mikaila, and Viora. They are awesome and has amazing skills . We chose the song Hall of Fame by The script. We chose it because it has a great message and describes how life is(you know trial and error). It also shows if people practice they can do it. We also just love the music and everything about it.

Our music video is about all of us failing at first then becoming good at it because of practice and hard work. We came up with that idea because we think that the song's meaning is keep trying until you finally get it and become a pro at it. So our story is Ella, Mikaila, Viora and I all fail and at the end we become professional and we get medals since we kept trying and won. So to make a conclusion to our music video,  We're gonna be in this hallway looking at the wall and each of us putting our baby pictures, yes our baby (or kindergarten) pictures, on the said wall and to end it we pose like super heroes. Doesn't that sound great!(Oh it's not that great unless you see the video because easier said than done,okay.) Anyways, I'm gonna be failing at running which is very easy because I'm already super bad and slow runner. (We're gonna make me look good and fast by making the other runners run slower than their regular speed.) Ella fails at basketball, but she's pretty good with the sport. Viora will be failing at art, but I think she's a good drawer and Mikaila fails at surfing, but I think she's also a great surfer. So that is pretty much it, just to wrap it up Ella and I are editor and Viora and Mikaila are band poster editors.

Some of the challenges we had is time...again. Wow time is man's worst enemy maybe sickness too but whatever. We have pretty good communication with each other and we're being more creative than ever in this year. We have awesome clips. We finally finished it at tuesday this week (5/23/17)
I feel like we will get a 3 or 4 for this project. The critique is today! (5/25/17) This is what we got a 3 and second place nice right we are tied with Team 4.

Movie Trailer Premier

Our new project is a movie trailer (and no, sadly we're not gonna make a movie that will probably take too much time and probably a little to much to handle for us, middle schoolers, but who knows one of us might make it when we get older or write a book about it? I would.) This project is really exciting and will be fun to do. I teamed up with Aftan, Mikaila, and Emily M. to make this happen. I'm acting as the creepy person or some kind of villain and the Narrator (you know the one that goes like "In a world.....") I also wrote part of the script and I'm the director of scene 4. I can feel that this is one of the greatest projects we'll ever do.

Our biggest challenge is meeting up we would try, but we just can't figure it out. I wish we had more time. Our biggest successes was recording the audio, our costumes and our amazing plot which has a complicated twist into it. Wanna know what the big plot twist is! Wait after a few years, someone will either make a movie or a write a book about this trailer (Probably me.)  So this trailer project  has been interesting. Our biggest enemy here is time. It keeps going and going and going without stopping to wait for anyone.  I also slipped one time when we were hiking to get the perfect background for the trailer. Don't worry I'm okay. I did scratch my arm, but overall I'm perfectly fine. This was really fun to make, we had a great laugh while making it and I am also very happy did this project even though it was time consuming.

The critique happened on Thursday, April 6, 2017. It was really exciting and we had a bunch of fun watching our trailers. We got a 3 or all expectation met as a grade and we also are tied 3rd place with these other 3 teams. Oh yeah our movie trailer is titled Trapped. We laughed so much at this two trailers called El Demonio Begins and Objection Overruled (credit to these teams), Go check this two trailers out. As they were voted 2nd and 1st best trailers that we had. Anyways I agree with our grade, Our trailer wasn't the best, but I loved this project so much. The experience was amazing of just seeing how real movie people make the movie trailers. This was great and the trailers we made were almost unbelievable that middle schoolers made them. This project was awesome!

Metamorphosis Animation

The new project we are doing is metamorphosis animation (as you can see in the title). It is mostly about change. We teamed up with other people to make this project happen. I got my team (Gavin and Alex) by random and talked about some great and not-so-great ideas.  Some of the ideas I had was sean sees world which is basically about a sad boy that didn't really understand the world and the fun that is with it.Then, one day he finally decides to explore what he was missing on.  We had no idea what focus statements we were going to use, but we came up with the focus statements: Flower finds Beauty and Hermit Embraces Society. We presented a pitch and we got approval for Hermit Embraces Society and that is what we are working on.

We finally decided that we were going to Hermit Embraces Society. Our focus statement is mostly about a selfish (shellfish) and grumpy hermit crab that lives in magical mountain lake turning human and finds a village that welcomes him. That was our original idea, but then Alex decided to change it. So the plot is now: Hermit lives in the mountain in a lake a fish asks him to play, but rejects her. He becomes human and he decides to go down the mountain. He finds a village. The villagers of the village welcome him and he makes new friends. The fish from the lake turns into human and goes to the village and she and hermit becomes best friends.

We just did our final critique on February 14, 2016 (Valentine's day). I was nervous at first, but I relaxed after a while. We got 2.7, but I think Mr. Sanderl is nice enough that he’ll round it into a 3. Even though our soundtrack is amazing, I do agree with the score, we got. The audio is kind of a little too loud and our voice acting wasn’t the best. However, even if we got rated 2.7, the project was over all fun and really interesting to do. I'll give you a little clue on what's the next project is. Our next project has to do with movies. Anyways going back to the critique, we had fun watching the awesome animations the other teams made. We even had a few laughs and the critique was just great!
