Hey everyone! My team and I just finished an animation project for our G.T. class. My teammates were Malia Alo, Kiana Dea, and Micah Miller. Malia's character traits are happy and adventurous. She always wants to discover new things. In our animation, she is the one that convinces me to go into the forest where we meet Kiana and Micah. Kiana's character traits are cheerful and magical. In our animation, Kiana can grant wishes and always keeps people from being sad. Micah is shy and funny in our animation. He tells jokes and overcomes his shyness with the help of Malia and I.
In our story, humor was shown a couple times. When Micah enters the talent show, he tells a few jokes that gets the audience to laugh. Also, some of the things we say in the animation are funny. The message of our story is to always help no matter what. It shows that you should always help people even if you don't get anything in return because it will help someone no matter what. People need to be happy and care about other people besides themselves, and if they do that, you will get positive things in return.
This project was definitely different because we had to be on a team with people we have never worked with before. Honestly, I did not like this method. I feel that our team didn't work together and didn't do their job. When we had a deadline, some teammates were not even close with their scene that they had to do, which made it stressful because we had finish it as soon as possible. The work was split evenly in the beginning, but with some people not doing their job, it ended up to be the total opposite. That was probably the biggest challenge, having to do all of the work so last minute and not working as a team. I think the best moment during production was planning what our animation should be about. We had many ideas and we were able to put it into one video. Hope you like it!
