Animated Life Lessons

P2T8 Friends Overcome Issues from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

My GT class is now starting to create our animation videos. My teammates are Ella BeckCoral Haeger, and Cephas Woodward. One of the goals for this project was to include what kind of characteristics we are. My character traits is that I am always a clean, neat, and organized person. Even the littlest things catch my eye. I clean everything, it's like a habit. Our exaggerates who I am because it shows me cleaning every little thing and it shows me putting cleaning first before anything else. Ella's characteristics is that she is a very clumsy and a awkward person. She's not the type to be that good at things. In our animation it shows her to talk to er thinking about a whole different thing when were trying to tell her something. Also, it shows that she tries to cook something but it turns out to look very gross and not good. On the other hand, Coral is the shy and not so "social butterfly" type of girl. In our story it shows her asking the ones she's close to if she's outgoing and they admit she's not. Last but not least, Cephas is the humorous kind of guy, but a little too much humor. He always laughs at the wrongs things at the wrong time. Our story embraces his traits because it shows him laughing at something not that funny.

In our animation, the goal was to create humor and how our life lesson or message relates to us. Our story has humor because of how we made our characteristics do things funny. For example, Cephas likes to tell jokes but they aren't that funny which kind of throws everyone off and doesn't make any sense. Also, one of the things we added to our animation was an option tool in photoshop called puppet warp. Puppet warp made our characters look silly. Overall, the little details we included, added a bit humor to our story to entertain our audience yet still be relatable. Our life life lesson or message was to accept the kind of person you are and embrace those unique characteristics we all have. It's okay to be different. That message relates to us I'm sure a lot of us wanted to change something about ourselves or didn't like something about them. We want this to help all of us to remind us that it's okay to be different and no one is perfect.


In my opinion, this animation project was the hardest assignment we've had this year. Although, it is good to face challenges because you can grow and get better from that. The level of productivity was about a high level, I wouldn't say on the very top but on the high range. We were good at working together. The biggest challenge in making the animation was probably creating the animations. We had to make lots of frames and detail to it. It took a lot of work. We had to make sure the visuals were things that our audience would understand and take interest in. To add, the best moment during production was actually finishing and turning in our animation. There's nothing better than that feeling when all the hard work we did payed off. We had a plan and a time frame of what to be finished each day and we met those goals to stay on task. Overall, creating this animation was definitely more complex but with the team work between my teammates we were able to conquer yet enjoy this animation project.
