Our animation story

Our stories focus statement is ''Cyberbully affects Tu''. We are doing this topic because it has been and still is a major problem through out the world. Cyberbullying causes people to be emotional and physical stress. Everyone's response to being bullied is different. But according to research, most youth (teens) have a higher of risking their life because of depression and anxiety. A lot of time, a simple joke can even put someone from happy to depression. Also, there is this common thing in school when someone says '' No offense BUT....." as soon as you say '' No offense but.." then it sure will be OFFENSIVE. Example : "No offense but you are ugly'', -.- that is already OFFENSIVE. Think before you speak!!

The audience will learn that why is cyberbullying isn't a thing to be joked around with. It is a very serious problem. They will also learn that how a little joke they say might hurt someone, WITHOUT THEM EVEN KNOWING IT. When you are being bullied, the best thing to do is to talk to an adult or a friend. Usually, youth will choose to talk to their friends, because they think that telling their friends will be better because they have the same ages and understand each other better. Just like me (the victim) in the story. But some choose to NOT tell anyone at all, keep it all to themselves, and that is not good, you'll never know what they will do.

My best moment was when we worked and discussed things together, and when all of us actually worked on something not just fooling around. I am very happy that we chose this topic, because this is middle school major problem and it's our age too. My worst moment was when we kind of got loose on doing things and realized it is due in 2 days and when we transfer stuff in the ''Transfer folder" but it wouldn't let us to do it so we had to redo everything again. We did not really know what to do the first 2 days, but after that everything is all set ;). WE ALSO GOT CHOSEN TO BE IN THE CONTEST AT THE FILM FESTIVALS. Our video may not win at the Film Festivals, but what is most important to me is we had fun doing this project and we learned! I love my teammates, they are amazing.

Here are some photos behind the scenes and when we edit stuff.

Animation Outtakes

Now, it is 4th quarter in school! We are doing an amazing and interesting project calls '' Animation Project". Our teammates are: Dylan, Leila, Tyler, Tessa and me. I am so happy I got to work with Dylan, he is a 2nd year GT student which is a good thing because he will know what to do exactly and can guide us through. Tessa is a smart girl and always knows how to work things out. Tyler is also a very smart and a very fun person to work with.

Stop motion is a technique used to make any certain kind of object seems as it is moving by itself. A GIF( bouncing ball) is another kind of animation, but looks more realistic as in real life. GIF stands for Graphic Interchange format. These animations are very fun and interesting to work with.

We are telling my story. The title is '' Cyberbully affects Tu". We should care because cyberbully is a major problem in the world. Every single one of us have been bullied before, and we know exactly how it feels. A lot of people in the world ended up committing suicide, especially teens because of bullies. A little ''joke'' you say, you might think it is not a big deal, but it can risk someone's life. Think before you say.
