Lyrical Livelihood

I don't really have a favorite song or song lyrics, but if I had to pick it would be a line from "Livin in the sunlight" by Tiny Tim. One of my favorite lyrics from the song would be the line in the chorus "Living in the sunlight, Loving in the moonlight Having a wonderful time!". When ever I hear the lyrics and the way Tiny Tim sings it I just have to smile. So when ever I need a smile I always listen to the song.

For our new project in GT we are making music videos. My team and I are doing the Bee Gees - Stayin Alive. We picked this song because we wanted to do a funny song for the video. So we started to look for songs that are funny and are fun to do. One of my team mates, Justice showed me Stayin Alive and we went with it.

Our video is going to be really similar to the original music video. Its going to be of 4 people who survive an apocalypse event. Throughout the story we are going to be walking around desalinate and barren places while singing. Our video is also going to have funny and awkward moments. It will also feature many dance moves from the 70's and the 80's.

Our Animation Story

Our focus statement is ''friend solve conflict". Our focus statement is about a friend that solves a problem between two friends. Our focus statement tells our story because our stories is about a team that has a argument. But in the end one of the friends solves the problem and they come back together and win the competition. So our focus statement fits perfect in our story.

Theres is two lessons that you can learn from our story. One lesson is that fighting never solves a problem, and that one person can solve a conflict.  In our video it shows two friends fighting and then they get mad at each other and one team member leaves. After the team member leaves another friends goes after her and solves the problem and they get back together and win the competition.

Some of the best moments as a team for me was at the end when we turned in our video on time. I also liked when we did the critique and I saw the video and my team did a good job on the editing. Some of the bad moments was at the beginning of the project.  Our team didn't know what to do and we kept tossing around ideas and nothing was working. In the end I had to pretty much do the whole pitch sheet last minute. 

Animation Outtakes

My team for our new GT project is Ehu, Seth, and Brooke. Two interesting facts about Ehu is that she is really tall and she is cool.Two interesting facts about Brooke is that she likes to box, and likes to take photos. Two interesting facts aboutSeth is that he likes to boogie-board and likes to eat good food.

What is stop-motion? Stop-motion is an animation technique that consists of taking many pictures to create a film out of the pictures. Stop motion is commonly used to make a physically manipulated an object so that appears to move on its own.The object is usually moved in small increments in between photos. A GIF is one type of stop motion. GIFs are usually short stop motion animations that are played on loop for people to see.

The story that we are telling in our story is one of my stories. Its a story of a team that goes to Florida for a competition and has some trouble. The team has an argument and everyone gets mad at each other. But in the end the work together and win the competition. The animation describes a struggle that people can relate too which is one of the reasons why people should care.
