Blogpost for April the 1st ;

This week in Commtech I observed the screenprinting process. Chelsie screenprinted a shirt, based on her martial arts. I also finished my design brief. It is going to be a stop motion claymation. I recently bought playdoh and am ready to start making my characters. This is my description of what my animation will be like;

For my design I plan on making it a school related background. With printed out lockers in the background. I will then make little characters that look like aliens to substitute for students, and make a bigger alien for the teacher all dressed up. 1 is the bullied alien, Alien 2 is the bully, Alien 3 is Alien 1's friend, and Alien 4 is the teacher. I will have a day 1, day 2, day 3, and a day 4 scene. For day 1, Alien 1 is walking in the hall, and Alien 2 will knock the books out of Alien 1's arms on the floor. On day 2, Alien 2 bullies Alien 1 once again; steps on Alien 1's work while the alien is working on his homework at his locker; Alien 3 is sitting with him. On day 3, Alien 1 is sitting alone, and Alien 2 starts to go and make fun of him. Alien 3 shows up with Alien 4, and Alien 2 gets caught. On day 4, Alien 1 and 3 walk in the hallways while Alien 4 is in detention writing lines saying, I will not bully. This will be a different background scene, a classroom scene. This will be a long period of working time, with all the stop motion pictures, but it will send the message out clearly. I will place these pictures in windows media player to create the animation and make sure each picture has the appropriate timings.

This week we also had a quiz on our digital terms. I think that went pretty well. And today is April FOOLS!

This weekend is the easter holidays with a 4 day weekend, ecstatic!
