Brave New World Project
Prehistoric Flash Animation
We started this project with learning what paleolithic life was like. The domestication of the dog was really cool just because we have dogs now and so learning how that started was interesting. I used flash in middle school so i already knew how to use the basics so it wasn't that big of a problem for me learning the new tools in this newer program. My favorite part of flash was to be able to make a cartoon out of pictures I made in Photoshop. I might use flash again in the future just for fun.

Xtranormal Animation
In this project we used xtranormal.com to create movies. With xtranormal you chose your character, setting, voice, and sounds. You then just type to make the character say things. Then you just drag and drop symbols to make the character move or change a camera angle. This whole thing was fun and simple to do, we learned how lips sync, different camera angles and perspectives, and how characters move.

Teacher/Animal Poster:In This project we photoshoped the heads off of our teachers and merged them with an animal or another person. I liked the fun and freedom of this project, there were a lot of laughs. I was succesful at this project because i had already had pervious knowledge in photoshop and have done this before. Advice for a freshman next year would be to not chose an animal because it never looks like it fits naturally. If i could do this again i would refine it more just to make it look like the face and body are the same quality and looked like they were the same image. But my poster is our assistant head of school, Jake, as Gimli from the lord of the rings.
