Our Animation Story

If you don't already know that I'm doing a project, I already told you in my "Animation Outtakes" blog post. I also told you that we were doing "Asha Moves Away" and why we are doing it. Our title/focus statement is "Asha Moves Away". The focus statement tells "Lani's story" because Asha is Lani's friend. Asha, in the film, moves away. If it is hard to tell if we are telling Asha's story our Lani's story, I don't blame you. Lani was such good friends with her friend (her real life friend) that they shared a bond.

The audience will learn that when you love something, you must set it free and that you need to make new friends even when your best friend has left. The audience will learn this lesson because our team thought it would be easy for the audience to understand this topic (but not entirely). They are probably going to figure it out the lesson by knowing that Lani and Asha are going to be really good friends. Asha needs to move away and Asha gets on the plane and goes to California. After that when Lani goes home, she gets a message from her conscience (played by me) and the conscience is basically telling one of the lessons. When I said you weren't going to get the lessons entirely, well this is what I mean. I guess we forgot to put in the extra lesson (or at least I think, you need to watch it for yourself).

The best moments were when Lani was trying to fake cry. It was hilarious watching and listening to Lani fake cry. She tried it twice. The first time was hilarious and the next one was pretty successful, but still kinda funny. When we were trying to make the fake tears, the water drops were going everywhere. When my team was watching what we had so far, and we saw Lani's face and heard her cry! The worst moments were when we were trying to focus the camera on the white board and half of all the pictures were blurry. So we had to redo the pictures. When we were trying to retake the pictures, something bad happened! When we were taking the pictures, Mr. Sandrel got a call from the SBAC people. Lani had to go and finish her SBAC test. SHE HAD TO BE IN THE SCENE!!! We just need her finger/hand so we used Meleana's finger/hand. Everything went okay after that.
