Our Animation Story

For our animation story, our focus statement is "friend solve conflict". It tells our story because in the story, Maceo and I fight and don't wanna listen to each other but our friend Seth, helps Maceo and I realize that we were wrong. After he helps we realize I come back and we win the competition and we are all happy together as a successful team. Thats why our focus statement is "friend solves conflict".

The audience who will be watching our animation will learn that sometimes your wrong and you need to forgive. Another lesson would be is that friends are always there for you and will always help you in difficult situations. This is really relative when it comes to these lessons because in our age division there is a lot of drama and sometimes our friends are there to help you get pass them and ignore them.

As a team we have had a lot of up and downs. Some more difficult moments were trying to get all our team members together to work on the animation. For example sometimes seth would be busy with something but we needed him to do a scene with us. Also we had some difficulty trying to communicate with each other. We wouldn't communicate so sometimes two of us would do the same scene and thats just wasting time. Our best moments as a team would have been when we were getting towards the finish of our animation everyone started communicating better so we didn't have any problems. Also, when Brooke and I were editing our team where behind us suggesting some good parts we could change.

Animation Outtakes

My teammates in my team are: Brooke, Seth, Maceo.

Brooke, She likes to box, and likes to take photos.
Seth, He likes to boogieboard and he likes to eat good food.
Maceo, He went to Florida for a STN competition and he likes math.

There is a lot of different animation types. Two of those animations are stop motion and GIF. Stop motion  is a process when you take multiple pictures to make a physical moving video. For example you take a photo of someone doing something then you have them move a little more than you take another picture. In the end you add all the photos you took and it creates a moving person or object. Then theres the other animation, GIF. The Graphics Interchange Format (better known by its acronym GIF /ˈdʒɪf/ or /ˈɡɪf/) is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987[1] and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Webdue to its wide support and portability.The format supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image, allowing a single image to reference its own palette of up to 256 different colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of up to 256 colors for each frame. 

For our animation story we are telling Maceo's story and how we go to a S.T.N. competition and have to compete.You should care because this story is something that most middle schooler can relate to.
