Ok, Who spilled the Ink?

Hello and welcome to the- Wait- Did someone really-?
Wow. At least it's readable when you highlight it. Then again, those directions were probably hard to read...  How am I supposed to create another awesome (Yes, it's a matter of opinion) Blog Post if someone spilled Ink all over it??? Seriously, whoever did that, NO respect.               .
Should I even post this? I mean, it's still readable but I've spent so much time rambling on about whoever spilled the ink. Really, if I post this, it's unprofessionalism. Not that I'm ever professional, but one does want to keep his standards up. The question is: Why? What's the point of spilling ink on some kid's blog post? HOW do you even spill ink on a blog post? This is ridiculous. At least- wait? This is still readable! But there's so much ink by now that it's really hard to... Unless you highlight it. Well then again, I guess It's kinda readable either way. However, it's easier (I think) if you highlight it... How am I supposed to write a post like this anyway? Nevermind- Closing it down. NO MORE INK!!!                                                                                    .                                                           .
                                                                                                                                                  .
I'll write again soon,                                                                                                                 .

              .                                                                                                                                 .
-Did the ink just change color? Let's test this... Yep. The ink definitely changes color. Even When I Try To Throw It For A Loop! Well, no more surprises.

Our Animation Story

DISCLAMER
This post is directly related to the previous one, "Animation Outtakes". If you have not read that post, please kindly do so. If you are the lazy type, read/watch at your own risk. Or not, I don't care.

P5T6 Raiden Discovers Origami from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Working on my animation...
Hello and welcome to the (kinda) second part of the "famous" blog post, Animation Outtakes. Now many, (and by many, I mean one.) people (person?) have (has? Never mind...) asked me how our animation's focus statement reflects "My story". Well gents, the answer is: It doesn't! It reflects RAIDEN'S story. Not mine. Anyway, it reflects HIS story because, well, it's a true story! Not much more to it. It's a true story of how he discovered and learned to do Origami! Yeah!

Me and Quinn messin around  with Garageband
The audience, when they watch the animation, will (Hopefully) learn that talents can come out of no where, and to appreciate the talents you have. This is shown by telling the people (or person) how Raiden, at first, doesn't have a talent until he discovers Origami. Then he finds how good he is at Origami, Meaningful text here and there, some voice overs, and BANG! People discover that everyone has a talent.

Raiden Making some more animations
I'd say that we're a pretty good team, because we have had a lot of good moments, and not very many bad moments. For example, Every day, BOOM animation done here! BAM Animation done there! Personally, I think the team is very productive. However, if I HAD to point out the WORST moment for the team, I would say it was when we were disagreeing with the animation plan. That took a long time. The best moment, however, was when we had completed about 100% of our animations, and were ready for the Final Cut. Awesomeness!

ANIMATION OUTTAKES

Welcome ladies and gents! ONCE AGAIN, we have ANOTHER G.T. Project. (Man, these things never end!) In these few weeks, we will create SPECTACULAR Animations. (Like the terribad ball bounce RIGHT.) The following GIF to the RIGHT was made by yours truly. I'm on an ALL NEW TEAM, with ALL NEW MEMBERS, (Except for Raiden,) And an ALL NEW PROJECT!!!!! (and stuff.) Now, I shall do something I have NEVER done before... Describe two interesting faces about my team mates! Talia Washington has 8 different nationalities, (ethnicity, for fancy people,) and she is actually related to George Washington! (The one, The only.) Quinn states that the most interesting things about himself are that he eats, and he sleeps. He's ether boring, or is a secret CIA agent on a secret task in Madagascar. I'll believe the latter. Finally, Raiden Kurisu is 100% Japanese, and is apparently Really good at Origami. This is important, for that's what we based our animation off of how Raiden discovered Origami. Not my idea.
Dont. Even. Ask.

So, know what a GIF is? Click that link. For the lazy, GIF stands for Graphic Interchange Format, and looks like an animation that repeats itself. (Example, the bouncing all above.) There's more to the definition than just that, but I'm to lazy to put it in. Do you also know what Stop Motion Animation is? That's pretty easy to answer. Basically, Stop motion animation is when you take a bunch of pictures of something inanimate, such as a clay figure, and with every picture it moves a little bit. Then process it, a bing here and a bang there and you've got some mediocre-quality animation.

Our animation is going to be about, as said in the first paragraph, how Raiden discovers Origami. Basically, he realized (when he was 6) that everyone except him had a super special talent. Then out of no where he discovered that he can do origami. People should care about this because if Raiden gets famous one day, BOOM back story! Also it teaches that everyone has some special talent and we should appreciate it when we find ours. So yeah. Meaning here, meaning there, Bish Bosh.

PEACE
