Animation/ stop-motion

I decided my idea for a transformation thinking about what I liked. I wanted to use an ice-cream and a jellyfish but then I herad someone was doing that idea so I asked a friend what could I use and she said that I could transform a jellyfish into a dress. My idea changed slightly, also I made a happy face at the ending because I neede more pictures and I wanted to end it with a good feeling. During the process of animation I faed some problems, the lights changed the color of the pictures. They still look good. Another problem was that I finished before taking 200 pictures so I did another figure and played with the background. I didn't like making the stop animation because I thought i was going to be better. Not only that but, I thought I was going to have fun and I didn't. Im not interested in an animation carrer because I dont like art and I think Im not good at it.

From Jellyfish to a Dress

I chose to use plasticine because I think its easier to change forms. I considered using paper and cutting the figure to transform it. But this was going to be very complicated. Equally important if I choose to cut paper my two figures would be different size, and I dont want that to happen. The most challenging thing are the tentacles. I have to make them bigger and then they become part of the dress. My two objects are a jellyfish and a dress. The background will be made of paper. First it would be under the sea, so the color that I chose was blue. Then, it would change to be yellow. Hopefully my project turns to be good.

Stop Motion

Stop Motion is when you take pictures to make a movie. Poeple use them to move things without someone moving and it looks like magic or maybe because it just looks better. To create this project you have to sketch it and know how would it end and how you will start. Then you go step by step and draw how things will change through time. Then you decide how you will represent it and use a camera to take pictures. of the videos that I watched in computers class.

Anotehr video that I watched was this one: click I liked it a lot because is very original. Ypu can also see that they took their time and did a great job. Its really hard to make the video they made. Obviously you know it took a lot of time and they had to be careful.

Kentridge

Kentridge's work was amazing. Its hard to explain because it is really good and you need to choose the right words to make it sound the way it actually is. I think it took a lot of effort and time to make this video. There are a lot of drawings. He only uses a pencil.I was surprised when I saw it because it was really good. My first thought was that he had done a great job.

If I had to explain his work to a person that is blind I would say it has no color, everything is well organized. Not only that but, ´ll also tell the person that you understand whats happening because it has a lor of details. Also, that the video is very fluid and it looks real.

Rainforest Destruction

One of the most serious enviromental problems facing Earth today is the rainforest destruction. Rainforests are very importnat for most living organisms. They provide us oxygen that we need in order to survive. Not only that but, they also feed animals. They give them energy for them to live. They also give animals a home. Rainforsts not only provides us food, they also give us medicines and they protect against flood, drought, and erosion.

People build malls, hotels, etc. In order for that ti happen they destroy the rainforest which is a big impact because the climate can change and make animals die. By destroying this places, the people don't only kill the tres, they kill a lot of animals and people that needed certain medicine.

Some people think its not as bad to destroy this places because they think they can make a new one, but rainforests take 60 to 100 million years to form. While this magnificant place is forming many people would die. Rainforests are the most important anviromental problem because all living organisms would die without enough of them, so people should take care of them and build new places where there are no trees or plants.

This problem is mainly caused by humans. They want to make the world a place to be comfortable and they dont think about the concequences before. They change the ecosystem of a lot of places. Not only that but because of this global warming becomes another important problem and from that other problems that affect all living organisms, so lets change it and stop with the rainforest destruction.

Lets keep it like this:


and stop this:

Animation

For my animation, I will recieve the ball form the left side and it will become a disco ball and there will be people dancing, then everything is going to change and Im going to be outside at night. Then the ball is going to be a star and i will grab it again and pass it to the right. The background is going to change once, from the disco with people and lights to outside with the stars.

Flash Animation

Typing Tracker

This graph is a good representation because you can exactly notice if I've succeed throughout the year or not. It shows all of the information with different colors so its easier to understand.

This graph is very different from the others.This one does not compare different things, it only

shows you one thing, the gross speed.

Here you can see ow ve done in quarter two. It compares all of the work that I've done. It also uses different colors for each thing.

Audacity

It was hard to find sounds that combined and to put them together so they could have a good rythm. Abother challenging thing was that you had to listen to a lot of sounds and those sounds were simple and we needed to have 60 second of it. If I could change the song that a creatd I would look in a nother part for sounds, because I heard a friend's song and it was amazing because its sounds were longer. It wasn't really difficult to make it, the hardest thing was to match them up. I would also use nore sounds. I think I need nore time to make something good. Even though we had enough time, it wasn't the only thing that we had to do, we also had homework. I didn't like this project a lot, but I still love music.

Audacity

Making my musgup was frustraiting and at the same time really fun. It was hard to choose the songs because some don't sound good together. I changed it like four times to see which one would match. Finally I chose three songs that I like a lot. Stereo Love is one of them, I tried to use it as a base so it sound it cool. The other one was 2012, this one is a fun song that makes the rythm. Last but not leats is Just the Way you are, this song is soft but I like it because and I made some parts louder. The process was frustraiting because I didn't know how t make it, and I think it doesn't sound great but I tried my best by putting 3 songs. It was hard because I couldn't make it exaclty loud the way I wanted so I had to lower the other songs. I wish I could learn more about because I would like to make a really cool one. To find Just the Way You are click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjhCEhWiKXk and to listen to Stereo Love click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Z3YrHJ1sU and lastly click to see and hear 2012: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uFalk1y38I

Mash-up

A mash-up is when a person blends together songs. I like this mash up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkHJ2-zoSB4 because I love the songs and the guy that sings it has a good voice. Also, I like this mash up because the songs they put together are great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM8BZFjPybE&feature=related. When people make really bored ones or when they put songs that don't sound good together, they ruin everything. To improve or to make a good mashup here is a link you should look. http://www.mashupciti.com/what-is-a-mashup/how-to-make-a-mashup/
I've heard earworm you should hear it he has good mashps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNzrwh2Z2hQ. Some people are not musicians just because they created a mashup, I think only the ones that do a good job.

Artifact(:

It was really hard for me to create an artifact. I couldnt find a tutorial that was easy and that I could understand. I had a lot of trouble finding the correct one because I couldn't understand most of them. I did this project three times because of the tutorials, I coulntd finish them, I tried more than three times but I almost finished 3 of them. The last one wasn't the best idea but I tried.

I chose Julians artifact because it was well done. Its very intersting. I like the rain even though is not easy to see, its really cool when you look at it closely. I like teh cat that he chose, and the was he made it a rock. I admire how he change it to rock. Another thing is that he did something extra, he put rain even though it was good without it. I think it looks better with the rain. Here is his work:

http://julianse-julian.blogspot.com/

I think is really cool, I like it because I see something special on it. Also it looks real, I would have it outside of my house so people could see it. I would buy it if is not very expensive. Its very interesting but if its expensive I wouldnt buy it. It would help people because they could hide cameras there for robers and it helps your house so it looks better. It's a cute artifact.

Artifact Picture From The Fueture

My future artifact

My invention are three things together, eventhough they would be sell separately. One is a mask that alouds you to breathe under water with your nose and without a tank, you can also talk while you are under water, it will be transparent. You can make your own design and order it or if you want a professional designer could do it for you, or you might like it with just one color. The other one is going to be a cellphone that you can use under water. You can take pictures or talk to someone(video call) and show them were you are and the beatiful things in the sea. The other one is your ipod underwater, you can bring any generation you have to our cmpany and we would change it so you can listen to music under water. Your cellphone and your I pod would look the same, the difference is that now, you would be able to have fun under water! In 2015 would be in available in YellowMellon Store.

Family Gathering

Every holiday all the family gathers. Th emost memorable day was in Christamas about two yars ago. It was amazing. Most of the time we go to Mexico City, but this time we stayed in Vallarta. I remember we were all together. Except for my grandfather that passed away 10 years ago. We were all having fun like never we opened presents and played all night. Its one of the only ones that ALL the family is there. I say this because my uncle has to work or he goes to Cuernavaca with his other family. I like to be with all of the members because we are a very little family. all in all we had a great time because we laughed, the food was delicious and we were all there!

Family Tree

The most challenging thing was that most of us didnt know how to use photoshop, and when someone knew everyone was asking that person. Also when the person didnt know how to do somwthing you had to change a lot of things. I find it hard to choose the frames, some of them didnt fit well in the picture of the person. Another thing was that I coulnt find pictures of my grandparents. Then, I most of us dont have photoshop so its hard for us to write blogposts and to do photoshop in one day. I over come it because I had a computer with it but it didnt had internet and then the charger was dead because that computer is really old. I also put my uncle, my sister's boyfriend and my dog. I today i upload my family tree evnthough I had already had written everything.

Family Tree Frames

I chose thos eframes because my favorite color is purple. I also wanted to have something fun. I didnt choose brown because I think is ordinary and that the color is too gray. I Also used blue because I think this colors together look good. Blue is also a color that I like. I used purple for girls because the frame that I used is girly. I used the blue frame for boys because I liked how it looked.

Tree

I chose this tree because I wanted something different from others. I aslo loved the color, its very different from the ordinary trees you see every day. Another thing is that there is enough place to put all my family the way I want. Also, this tree reminds me of something special. Once we went to a place were all my family went and we saw a tree, its was like the one I chose. Finally, I love this tree.

JOY

I went to mexico city. This was one of my favorite summers. I hanged out with some friends that live there. I went to visit my family and we went to many different places. First we went to six flags. It was really fun because my two cousins and my sister were with me. My favorite thing there was called SPLASH! It was really fun. My aunt opened a new job, so she did an inauguration. My cousin, my sister and I danced all night long. I loved that day a lot, because we also met knew people and some of them were nice.

I would like to travel far away from Mexico. One example is Europe or Russia, I would like to study in Barcelona. I haven't been there but my dream is to study there. I don't know since when or why, but i wish i go someday. Another thing that I want to do by myself is create something new and special. I hope someday I do something like this because is important for me. Some people might think is boring, but i don't. I also will like to write a song. Writing songs make me calm and my mood changes a lot.

Something that makes me special and unique is that I'm sweet and funny. Maybe other many things make me special but i see this ones. I'm this way since I was little, thats why i think is different. I like to hug people and laugh with my friends. Even though sometimes is too much and we cry because we laugh a lot. I think I'm not the only one with this characteristics, but I like them a lot. Hopefully I never change, and if a change i wish a change for good reasons.

Tired of MAP testing

Last week we have MAP testing. I hate MAP testing, we do it every three months, I think. I don't like them because they are long and boring. The good thing is that we miss classes. Another bad thing is that sometimes we haven't finished and the bell rings, so that makes most of the people to click random answers. We did a paragraph of MAP testing on October, I think I mentioned most of the things I have here. In this tests I have learn many things, even though I hate them. I wish they could be different and once a year. When I think that we still need to do more it makes me sick! Hopefully they change or we stop doing them. All in all, I don't like them in more ways than I like them.
