Animation Outtakes

 Gif: Bouncing Ball 

Two interesting facts about one of my teammates Asha is that 1) She is one of the fittest little girl I've met, she swims, surfs, runs, and more she has some abs and muscle too and also 2) We are basically the same person, I've known her since preschool, we love all the same things and she can be kind of stubborn sometimes but that's okay. Two interesting facts about my teammate Makaio is that 1) He plays multiple sports whether it is in or outside of school (#VeryAthletic) and also 2) He has very long eyelashes. Two interesting facts about my last teammate Meleana is that 1) She is kind of a tomboy, she loves to hunt! and 2) She is also very smart and gets straight A's in school.

Stop-motion animation is a type of animation technique that can make an un-animate object or person seem like its moving by itself, sometimes in an unusual way.  In this type of animation, the subject in it will be moved in small increments in between individual photographed frames, then when you edit it together and play it at a certain frame rate it appears to be animating on its own! Gif stands for graphic interchange format. Gif is a format for compressing image files.

The story that my team (Meleana, Asha, Makaio, and I) are choosing to do is my story which is about when my best friend when I was in 3rd-5th grade moved away. I think a lot of people can relate to this because pretty much everyone has lost someone really close to them and our animation teaches a lesson or moral basically saying learn to move on, make new friends even when your old ones are gone. Also if you love something (or someone) set it free. I think our animation has a strong purpose and I like how we are sharing this lesson in a fun expressive way. People should care about this because it relates to them.
