Our Animation Story

Well. Hello everyone. I'm here today to inform you all that our animation is finished. There has been some rough patches, but we pulled it together, and finished it. It's been a hard week, not just for me, but for all the G.T students, so I want to say that I'm really proud of all of us. Today I'm going to explain our story a little better, because I know last time I didn't really go in depth with it. So, I'm going to start writing, and I'll see you at the bottom.

Our focus statement was Julie Overcomes Writer' Block. It was about our teammate Julie, and her struggle to overcome the wall in her head, and finish her essay. We show Julie struggling with her blank paper, which morph into paper soldiers, and the archers that the wall produces to force
her back. Her pencil becomes a sword, and she uses it to fight off the soldiers and the wall, and finally the wall collapses, and Julie is free to finish her essay. Our focus statement tells our story because throughout the project, that was our guiding idea, and we would always come back and look at it to refocus.

Our audience will learn that even though writers block does happen, and can feel like a battle is going on in your head, it always ends. Creative juices aren't frozen forever, and soon you will be back to normal. The best thing you can do is remember this, and just do your best. I know that in GT, our creativity is put to the test, but I think sometimes we get a little too frantic. Sometimes we just need to take a step back, and breath for a little while.

Okay, now I'm going to tell you all about the best and worst moments with my team. The best moment was easily when we got a four out of four on the rough cut, it was like all of our hard work finally paid off. The worst was definitely not making the deadline for the two scene teaser. I'm not going to get into that to much, because why dredge up ickyness? Anyway, we've had our moments, both good and bad, and the important part is that we've grown as a team.

Thank you all so much for reading, and I want to give one last shoutout to all us G.T kids, because you know what? Animations are over, and know it's time to get excited for the music videos! Okay, see you all next time! Bye!
