Music Video Finale


FINAL BLOG POST FOR THE 2016 KMS GT STUDENTS YAYY.

Baby Tu and Mama Tessa
(We used the stroller as an equipment to stabilize our shots
as we move while lip syncing!) 
School is almost over! HALLELUJAHH!! This is the final blog post I will be writing, and it is our last project- music video. We are doing a song called "Girls just wanna have fun" by Cyndi Lauper. This song doesn't really have a storyline, it is just basically about girls having fun. The girls's parents in the song are worried, don't know what the girls are going to do with their lives. The girls do not care however, they just want to have fun :). My teammates are Tessa and Meagan (yes same as last year). We have been planning since the beginning of the school year hehe.
I couldn't blow the flowers. Tessa came and help me. We still
couldn't blow the flowers :/

My most favorite fast-edit montage is at the beginning of the song when Meagan and I came to take Tessa away from her homework and then she throws the paper in the air. It is my favorite because the sequence- shots of Tessa writing, perfectly synced with the beat of the song as the audience seeing the 3 shots sequence (wide, medium, close). When Tessa throws the paper in the air, the shot then changes to a shot of Tessa standing in her house, her "babe" is calling her. The dad standing in front of her and looks mad and asks "What are you gonna do with your life". If you ask me what is my second favorite shot , that would be the shot of Tessa talking on the phone because of the different angles that keep me interested in the video not just looking at a wide shot all the time.

Thanks for the popcorn Tessa!
Megan looks so cute!




This music video really shows how far in advanced we have gotten in lip-syncing to songs, match the audio, and out of all- editing. We have also added some composition techniques in the video that we had learned in GT earlier in the year. Having a variety of different shots at different locations, I think, it really keeps the audience entertained through out the video. An improvement I have noticed on all our class' music videos is the acting. This year, I think we have more confidence and excitement because everyone in transferring to high school next year and so they probably think "Oh, since it is the end of middle school, lets get weird! It's not like we are going to see it our embarrassing moments again!". 

GT is my favorite class, although, sometimes we have some really difficult assignments, but we always manage to get through it. Being in this class, I feel like I am never being judged by anyone. I feel like nobody is going to judge me because of where I am from, my language, my idiosyncrasy, the way I speak. Everyone has respect for each other, they listen to each other's opinion and take that idea and turn it into something..AMAZING. #GTisthebest

Animated Life Lessons



Aloha to my bloggers all over the world! In my GT class, for the first four weeks in fourth quarter (last quarter of the year!!) we spend time on a new project called "Animation". Puppet warp- photoshop tool used to control or manipulate an object by different pins and anchor points is the main tool in Photoshop we will use to animate. Due to the high expectation and timeline we are required to be in teams. My teammates are Loren and Emma. Emma's personal character traits are friendly, generous, funny, clumsy and like our storyboard said... she is indecisive. The story will exaggerate Emma by putting in her in this everyday problem of deciding where to have dinner. Loren's character traits are blunt and sarcastic. She will be one of Emma's angel. Tu (me) will be her other angel. The two angels must help Emma get through her struggle.

We use the humor in our story by embedding sound effects mostly and some voice overs done by us. This is relatable to teenagers in particularly. Adolescence stage is when decisions are being made daily. “Both” isn’t an answer that you would like to reply to some certain questions. And if you're like our Emma in the story, oh boy you are going to face a lot of challenges through out life. I have a question for you all though.....WAFFLES OR PANCAKES??! ;)
Getting pics from the ''Transfer Folder". Ready to show off her skills :)
Our team is always on task. I have never worked with Emma nor Loren before however they are AWESOME! Emma is always so funny and cheerful. Loren is a little quite but she is really nice and good at doing animation. It takes her less than 5 minutes to create ONE scene, how cool is that?! The level of productivity of our team in 100% always. Our biggest challenge was puppet warping. When we placed the pins on our characters to ensure no movements are being made, we moved the arm for example, we got it how we wanted, clicked yes, then guess what? The arm was crooked or looking all weird. Also creating animation frames while puppet warping is time-consuming, make a copy of this layer, turn its original off, create another animation frame, and if you don't know how to do it, when you puppet warp ALL of your frames will change. 
However, opposite from the biggest challenge always comes with the best moment during production. The best moment was when we finished and turned it in before everyone else with simple visuals yet clear audio. Another of my favorite moment was when we all got together and discuss our ideas about the project, how are we doing this, who is doing what scene, if a person isn't good at doing animation or don't even know how, no worries, we are your teammates we will support and help you👭. . At first I thought this project would be turn out to be really bad because working with people you have never worked with is kind of awkward but EVERYTHING TURNED OUT TO BE PERFECT hehe. SHOUT OUT TO MY TEACHER for assigning this project so all classmates get to know a little bit about each other's idiosyncrasies ;).

Character Development


Hey guys! My blog today will be about character development;). First of all, question of the day #qotd ''What kind of person are you?" Define yourself. No. I am not talking about physical character traits. I'm talking about your idiosyncrasy. Idiosyncrasy is what sets one individual part apart from others. My mode of behavior or way of thought is peculiar to an individual.

The character traits I plan to exaggerate while animating myself are a goofy and awkward person. The goofiness in this Gif is my dance. The awkwardness is my smile, no I don't like smiling with my teeth shown because I have braces. I was going to do something like Kynan but I'm not very good at Photoshop so I did something simple.


The step-by-step process of creating .GIF animated character is: First step, take a front picture of you standing with feet apart and arms away from your body. Second step, open your photo in Photoshop and cut your body out of the background by using the "quick selection tool". Third, crop your cut out 640 width by 720 height, 300 resolution, pixle/inch. Fourth, go to window >animation >DD menu. Fifth, create a GIF loop. Sixth, edit >puppet wrap >place pins. Seventh, select all frames and change it to 0.1 second. Lastly, step 8, file >save as web & devices > gif folder and you're done!

AWKWARDDDD!! You like my background though? ;)

.MOV Flim Festival


Feeling comfy?
The keywords in our group' sitcom connect with the audience because they are practically the summary of what they are going to be seeing in our video. Our film's key words are: entertaining, pidgin, embarrassment and karma. Entertaining because sitcom is a situation comedy where there will be an problem that happens and the characters will have to solve it. Pidgin, the grandmother in the story is Hawaiian and our group thought that Hawaiian pidgins are pretty funny so we decided to add in. Embarrassment, Sally- a sassy girl who will be embarrassed by her grandmother in the video. And finally, karma. Sally dislikes substitutes in her school a lot. She thinks that they are unintelligent and doesn't know what is going in the class. One day her very own grandmother - a person who Sally always complains how she had a sub today and she hated it, becomes her substitute.
Hi Tutu

The overall message that we wanted the audience and especially teenagers to comprehend after watching this sitcom is that substitutes should be treated with respect just like any normal teachers. I understand that sometimes they do not understand how some classes work, however imagine this, they are tourists visiting a country they have never been to and everything is new and confusing to them, just like they're subbing a class they have never been to. ''Don't give them a hard time''- every single teacher's saying. ;)


.
The biggest team challenge I faced was the time schedule. Our class spent to much time on the "Tiny Worlds'' project so we only had two weeks to get our sitcom turned in before spring break. I thought two weeks was enough for a 90 seconds to 3 minutes maximum sitcom, however everyone in my team was super busy after school, I was too, so nothing done the first week. The second week, after two day, we finally got our filming done and spent 1 and a half day editing. Social study, science, math, and English homework... EVERYTHING was due so yes the last two weeks were really stressful. In conclusion though, I was happy about how the video turned out. I'm not really sure why we did not cut  out the end of video where Hailey and Sally were laughing when the tutu walked i,, anyway it was really fun and I enjoyed doing these types of projects- sitcom and come. HAPPY SPRING BREAK!!

 Ps: The video will be up soon!

Tiny Spherical Worlds





Composite pictures are intended to create an imaginary situation -for whatever reasons. They are usually presented as one final picture, with added elements from other images, thus changing the meaning of the original. You can not make composite images by just using one picture because composite images themselves are made up from a variety of different photos put together. So if you take one picture only, it is not a composite image.

The different between polar and spherical ''worlds'' is the polar coordinate. In Photoshop, I rotated the circle 180 degrees and then clicked ''polar coordinate''. On the other side, for spherical, I did not rotate it, just leave it the way it is and click polar coordinate. Polar images make me feel like I'm gigantic person looking down to Earth from another planet. And spherical makes me feel so tiny.



I think my tiny worlds are pretty convincing because of the facts that they look surreal and realistic at the same time. Using the stamp tool in Photoshop is a major part of making this project successful. When you are done with everything also known as ''general steps''  and you click polar coordinate, a line will literally show in your picture, and sometimes there will be two different colors too, so yes using a stamp tool is highly recommended in this project rather than using a smudge tool. Blending colors, taking a part of this color and put to the other side to make my worlds look even and convincing is the main goal I had to attain during this project. I don't know why I was struggling with this project, like now when I finally understand the process of it, it is so easy!

Hockney Style Joiners



Hello my bloggers! Our class has been learning about David Hockney the past few days. David Hockney is known for his photo collages and paintings. In the 1970s, he began to produce photography and create collages called ''Joiners"- one of his well known famous collages made by Polaroid prints. He was voted the most influential British artist of the 20th century in 2011. His photomontages are different than mine because his photos are not digitally made. It costs a lot money to make his photomontages because what he did was he took pictures by using a camera, printed them out and overlapped each pictures by hand and there wasn't just one photo, there were hundreds of them. I use Photoshop for my photomontages which I can edit my photos anywhere as long as I have my computer!

Images can send positive or negative messages are usually depend on what the pictures are consist of. For example if one posts a photo of a peace sign "☮", it represents happiness, freedom, nonviolence, etc. And if one posts a photo of a gun or someone getting bullied then I'm pretty sure it's a negative messages. A lot of teens these days, they post videos of students fighting (they don't even stop them, instead they encourage them to fight more!), someone they dislike and write mean things about them, I think they should keep those things to themselves. Posting pictures of people without them notice or ''permission'' and writing mean comments really show how low-level of thinking that person is. THINK BEFORE YOU POST!

The message that I intended for my audience to see was I am an independent person in another word 'independent play' is what I am, that's why I only show a picture of one palm tree. I usually listen to music, hang out with my pup and even do my homework under that palm tree. What palm trees represent in  my opinion is that they bring peace and triumph ('cause every time I do my homework next to it, I always get my work done which is a great achievement lol). I could have taken this picture in a better way if I would have gotten closer to the tree so the audience can see the detail. As you can see though, the sky/lighting changes, it was a very mesmerizing moment because the sun was  waking up so the sky started to change color from purple to really really light purple.

2016 Aspirations


Hello, my lovely readers! How was your Christmas and New Year celebration? Mine was great! Can't believe that it is now 2016! And my 2 weeks break went by so fast so now I'm back at school :(. I just want to stay in bed all day to be honest, the weather has been so cold and I have to get up pretty early for school. While I get dressed and brush my teeth, my whole body would tremble and shiver. Okay, let's change the topic. Since it's 2016 are there any goals you would like to accomplish? Top five of my goals are to: workout everyday, graduate Kapa'a Middle school with a 4.0 GPA, get good grades in High School, start studying Hawaii Driver License book, fold my laundry right after they're dried.

Out of my main 5 goals, I think the most important one is to graduate Kapa'a Middle School with a 4.0 GPA. There are only about 4 and a half months left of school, it doesn't seem that long to be honest. So basically, I only have four months to attain this goal. I have been getting straight B's in my Social Study class, and I have been trying to raise my grades in that class but it does not work! Social Study is my biggest obstacle on my journey on achieving a 4.0 GPA when school ends. Also, I believe getting good grades through out my life is going to help me a lot of getting into a good college which leads to good jobs with great income so I can take care of my mother :)).

I think some steps that would ensure my success are to NOT procrastinate, pay attention in class when the teacher speaks, especially about directions on how to do something, do my homework, do extra work for extra credits, and try not sit next to people who cause troubles in class and don't take school seriously. I always give my teachers 100% of my attention, however I get distracted easily, so I need to be in a class that is super quiet.

Scratch Game Design





Thinking about the user experience while creating a game in Scratch is incredibly important. The programer has to think about how the user experience might feel while playing this game. UX- a short cut for user experience- refers to a user's emotion and attitude while using a product. It includes: visual design, functionality, usability and typography, etc.

The similarities features between my 3 games are there is a ''goal'' that both sprites are trying to achieve. It's just either for the dog to NOT touch the ball, or for the snowman to reach the Christmas tree or for the stickman to reach his destination. Also, all of my game can only be played by the arrow keys. The contrast features in my 3 games are the themes are very different. The codes goes from easy to complicated. And only 1 of the games has the additional feature called ''death'' which you can check how many times your character has died.

I think in my last game, Operation Freedom, the pen code was the best code. It worked really well and smooth. During this project the most difficult bug fixes to me were to make the characters jump and move very very smoothly and also to create the second level without interacting with the first one. Creating scratch games can be enjoyable and frustrated. Enjoyable because you are creating your own games. Frustrated because sometimes you don't know how to combine what codes that go together to create a movement. After all, coding isn't really my jam but glad I got to try it :)

Invention Commercial





Our team's main goals for this assignment were to entertain the audience and make them understand what our invention was. Keeping the audience entertained was pretty hard. Whenever I watch commercials I always expect they to be funny, I do not want to sit on the couch and stare at the television with a plain face. The invention was not difficult to make, but the way we film and explain to the audience what it is through entertainment is the tough part.

To me, the best team moment we had during this project was when we filmed/act and how it took us several times to get just 1 scene done. Alani was the friend #1 who asked what the Zip Zip was, I (Tu) was the second friend who had the Zip Zip on. I think it is pretty strange when in reality when we are having a conversation with someone, we look straight into their eyes and that does not turn out to be funny at all, but in acting when I was having a conversation with Alani, I could not stop laughing, I kept stumbling on my words.
During post-production editing, I was the #1 editor who put things into order based on our ''Invention Commercial Plan". Because Meagan did the filming so I decided to do the editing. Meagan was also the #2 editor, the reason why is because apparently the plan was changed, and she wanted to help me to fix that part. Alani mainly just sat next to us and advise us to do edit things the way they should turn out to be.

Composition Scavenger Hunt





From the 20 Composition Techniques I have learned, the one I think is the most important is leading lines. They are the most effective compositional tool commonly being used by photographers. Leading lines are used to draw a viewer's attention to the main subject. Our eyes naturally drawn along lines and paths in photos as they tend to make us feel as if we are standing within the photo itself. The easiest place to find a leading line is on a road. Roadways are inherently leading because they go somewhere, give us a feeling of motion, and the lines often point so far inwards that they reach a vanishing point.


In my opinion, macro is one of the most difficult technique out of the 20 techniques. The photographer has to get really close to the subject, but also has to be careful so the picture will not turn out to be blurry. It is even harder when it comes to taking pictures of people, because then the lensman has to come really close to that person, which will create uncomfortable feelings. We can apply this technique to almost everything, but nature would be the easiest.


In this project, our class was divided in to different teams. Meagan is an awesome and thoughtful person that always make sure the team gets their work done. She is the main editor, she helped by editing and cut the video and put them into order. Alani who is positive and so hilarious that always makes the team laugh. She helped the team by putting transitions, texts into the video.

Cracking the Code




Everyone should learn to code. You can learn to create apps, read codes. It might gets really difficult but it helps to train your brain to think more complex. Learning to code is like learning a new language. Smartphones, computers, calculators, basically almost every electronic thing around us is rely on codes. Without codes, they will not be able to function/operate. Did you know that computers are actually not that clever, however they are pretty obedient, they will do exactly whatever you want them to do. How is that possible?!!... By using codes ;).

My first experience with programming was easy, but as the level gets higher it gets harder. The program adds every different block every level. It also teaches you math like moving the character in different angles (45 degree angle, 180 degree,...), you have to calculate which angle to move though. After that you get to see what code you used for your level. I even got a certificate!!

If I could design any program or game I would design something that has a limitation of time that you could go on social media and alert to your parent's phone when a person online is trying to bully you. For example, social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are pretty addicting, and that is not good. Sometimes, you are too busy to go on those things but forget to notice what is happening around you. Social media is also where cyber-bully happens, there is no boundaries, the other person on the other side can say whatever they want to, use profanity, lower your self-esteem down on purpose, etc. My program would have a timer that only parents can adjust how long they want their children to be online, and yes children will have their own privacy, the parents will not be able to see what they are doing online, but if someone is trying to bully your children, the program will immediately send an alert message to the parents.

My Humorous Monologue




Did you know that, in comedy, body language takes up to 55% out of 100%, voice infection/ tone is about 37%, and words/ sentences is the least which is 7%. What I learned from this project was writing a comedy story is not easy at all, especially for the people who aren't funny (like me). It was hard to make a funny video with the limitation of 30 seconds to 60 seconds. I had to plan, think and prepare for each one of my b-roll, how is it going to fit, how long is that scene going to be, but it still ended up not what I expected :(. It was actually my first time I got to plan my own video, and Mr. Sanderl (our GT teacher) even provided us with a template that we can do our timing, audio and visuals which turned out to be better than if we do do all that stuff on our own. 

Pad is an additional clips you add before your actual video starts and ends. Padding your clips are very important because when you start to film your video, you might say ''1,2,3 start'' and you do not want the audience to hear when you say that so you will need to have extra spaces to cut it out. If you don't add pad, you're going to have to re-do it or else the audience would be like ''Wait what? What did that person say at the beginning?".

My weakness in this project was my video was over 1 minute. Some parts did not make sense because I guess I was in a hurry to to put an end in my story. My strength in this was I was not a procrastinator. I got started right away when I got all my b-roll done. What I could have done better was, I could have chose a topic but that will not take up a lot of time. And I should have added more effects and sound to make it more ''cool''.

Comedy Writing


Why do you think sense of of humor is an important character trait?? Hmmm... From MY opinion a good sense of humor is one of the most important human qualities. It can release the stress you get from work or school,.. .We can use our joke to make ourselves feel better, to lighten our spirit. It can also increase your productivity when you doing some works. Unfortunately, some people do not have good sense of humor, and that is totally okay, we were born to be different. ;)

There are 5 tips I would like to give you in writing a humorous narrative. 1st: Look at things that you are surrounded with, it might apply to other people as well. 2nd: If there isn't anything around you that you find is funny, try to think of your own joke and make it longer, usually a joke is about 8 seconds, you can take that 8 seconds and add more interesting things into it, but remember it has to do about the topic you are talking about. 3rd: You can think of the funny/ hilarious moments you had with someone. 4th: You can make your humorous narrative a what they called ''low comedy'' type which includes physical mishaps, coincidence,.. that will cause the audience to laugh out loud, lol. 5th: Try to share it with your friends, and see if they find it funny.

My comedic monologue is about my really good friend, Kiara. I came up with an idea of doing it on clumsiness because I figured that is what most people would find it pretty amusing. I am not a clumsy person apparently so I could not do it about myself, so the first person that pop up in my mind was Kiara. She's not really clumsy, but she can act like she is pretty good and of course working with my good-friend would be fabulous!! Being funny is not my usual thing, having to write a humorous narrative is even more difficult! My comedic monologue is funny because it relates to everyday life, how you and your best-friend/good-friend will always have fun no matter what. Also it's because there's this scene where I freaked out, banged my head to the bed and kind of...''bottom burp'' so I think that part will get the audience to laugh:)

Motivational Poster

Hello my amazing readers! Currently we are doing this super cool project in my GT media class, it is called Motivational Poster!! The requirements that we had to do for our Motivational Poster were to have 4 total images: 3 symbolic images that represent who you are and 1 portrait up close of your face. Must have 2 separate text layers :Manifesto and Quotes, so the total of layers are 6!! For the design expectation, all text should be KERNED to fit across the entire page with NO holes or blank space. Triadic Color Scheme of 1 dominant and two accent colors. Blending options are definitely needed in order to make your text stand out, it includes drop shadow, outer glow and stroke, etc. Adjustment for the layers has to be right, or else everything will go off.



1st: I started with 2 text layers- Manifesto and Personal Quote. 2nd: I created another layer with 4 images (3 symbolic that symbolizes you and 1 portrait of my face!!). 3rd: I kerned the letters so they'll will fit my entire page, it was pretty hard. 4th: I used Triadic Color Scheme for my text color. 5th: I went to ''Blending Color Options" to make my texts stand out. 6th: I turned of my text layers to edit my symbolic images by using color balance, exposure,.. and I'm done!

My biggest challenge doing this project was to make the texts fit the entire page so there will not be overlapping and touching words. I had a lot of holes and blank space, but when I kern it, it overlaps the others. What I would improve is to make my texts shorter but meaningful.  I thought my work turned out to be pretty cool, especially when I applied the color balance ;).

Personal Manifesto


Hey guys! Welcome back!! Let me tell you some interesting facts about myself. I was born in Vietnam. I moved to the United States and lived in Maryland for about 3 months, then my parents decided to move to Kauai, Hawaii. Rain makes me happy, seriously it can change my mood from sad to happy, I don't know how or why, it just does. I love animals, I think I might become a veterinarian ;). I love pizza, I can eat it anytime, and anywhere :) #pizza is life

My 2015-2016 Manifesto!!

Be HAPPY. DON'T ever base your HAPPINESS on someone, they''ll DROP it. Live your life with no regrets. Be SATISFIED with what you haveIf you're not happy with something, SAY it and CHANGE it. JUDGING people DO NOT define who they are, it DEFINES who YOU are .DON'T ever use someone's PAST to against them. Getting LOST is not a waste of time

My manifesto applies to my readers in many different ways. It was meant to motivate them and think positively. My manifesto could also be somebody's trying to achieve their same goals as same as me. Reading these manifestoes can really help you see things differently (good way).

Music Videos Rock!


.

Each of our team members contribute by: Meagan, who came up the ideas what we should in our video, where we should film and helped us with the production plan. Tessa, who is so funny, she will make you laugh in this video, even though this song is kind of sad. She also came up with the idea of filming at her house, for extra scenes in case we need them. I contributed by get the team together on schedule for meetings and get things finish before it is due!

The part that our audience will enjoy the best is how we came up with all the ideas to make it as possible as the original video. The cut in and cut away also will be the part the audience will enjoy, it 's kind of give the audience ''excitement'' and really get their attention. We took A LOT of scenes, and spent time cutting them. We used some effects for ''memories'' in our video. This video is appropriate for any age.

We knew how to cut music parts and put them where they should be. We used effects, kenburn, cut in and cut away, etc. We also made a poster which we learned how to do awhile ago. I have learned a lot this year. I never knew I can make and edit these videos until I signed up for GT. THANK YOU MR.SANDERL !!!

VIDEO COMING SOON!!!

Lyrical Livelihood


My favorite song is ''It's our world" by Jacquie Lee. Whenever I hear it, it makes me feel really happy. Because based on the lyrics, they're mean, there is always tomorrow, keep on doing whatever you want, be yourself, make life worth it, you only live once. It's okay if sometimes you fall down but just don't give up, just take one step at a time and you will reach your goal. It is also about how the world is in our hand. BE the change that will improve our world.

Our music video is going to be ''One last time'' by Ariana Grande. We picked because it is now a very popular song, and we know the lyrics pretty well. Also, we did not know any other songs to choose, if we did, they were chosen by other teams anyway. We were really having a hard time of choosing songs.


The visual story that our music video will tell is about a broken friendship. We was going to do boyfriend and girlfriend because that is exactly what this song is about, but since we did not have a boy in our team so we chose do to about a broken friendship (girls). We will film it in the library, school's field, and in our class. We''ll try to make it looks like we were somewhere else not at school.

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.



This picture is kind of too bright, but it was when Leilia working in Stykz
