Music Video Finale

Summer vacation is so close, which means that this will be the last GT project and blog post of the year! I can't wait for summer to start. This week in GT we are doing a music video based off a song that we were allowed to pick. My team consists of James, Josiah and Treysen, we picked the song Happy by Pharrel Williams. I believe that our story line does relate to our lyrics. In our story line, Josiah and Treysen parade around the town, spreading joy and happiness.

My favorite fast edit montage sequence will have to be when Josiah appears out of no-where, and makes Treysen go from depressed to happy. This fast edit montage sequence is my personal favorite because it is one of the most well-planned scenes in the entire music video. As well one of the most easiest to edit and shoot correctly. Plus, it is (in my opinion) very funny. Josiah walks in there, rips up a math test and forces Treysen to be joyful. What's better then that?

This music video showcases my best work by expressing what I have learned throughout my year in GT. Such as different shot types, strict organization, team work, and mostly humor. Through out the music video, my team and I implemented many shot types, mostly ranging from Wide, Medium, and Close. We also made a schedule on what we wanted completed, as well where and when we will meet to film. We also worked together by spending couple of nights working on our plan, and cooperating majority of the times. Finally, my most favorite, Humor. We implemented humor in our story by really exaggerating what our story was about, Happiness. Josiah rips up failed math tests, referrals, etc, Treysen also acts very funny-like, dancing and jumping out of no where.

Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just fine, yeah,

No offense to you, don't waste your time

Animated Life Lessons

Hi everyone, this week in GT we are doing a animation story with our teams.My teammates for this assignment are James and Denae. James is a quiet shy boy, he is quite smart and enjoys running around a lot, he is the opposite of outgoing. Denae is a very open and happy person, she enjoys smiling and helping James smile from time to time. In our animation, like their character traits, James is a shy boy who likes to run, there is a race at the school in which James wishes to enter. Denae the kind friend, encourages him and builds up his confidence. While I break down James's confidence.




My team uses humor in our animation by exaggerating James and Denae's character traits more then usual. It makes the story funny because it shows James really pressuring himself out, and Denae putting extra care into James. Our team's life lesson is to always believe in yourself and your abilities. It relates to our audience because everyone has to have a "downtime" in their life, whether its about school, sports etc. In which you didn't feel that confident about yourself.

I believe my team's level of productivity was about a averge. For example, James's photoshop started malfunctioning when we were close to the deadline, and I only got the "fast animating" process towards the end. I believe that my team's biggest challenge was photoshop. The puppet warp tool was really difficult to understand, such as making new frames and copies, while creating little by little movements. In my opinion, the best moment during team production was viewing each other's sketches for the 6 different scenes. James drew little block figures, Denae drew people and I drew multiple stick figures.
