2. Firstly, this movie has a beautiful plot with colorful scenery. Secondly, the characters are also very well-developed with good and bad sides. And, most importantly, it is easy to determine their characters on our own merely by watching the film. Third of all, it teaches a very important lesson. Most Disney movies are centered around a prince and a princess falling in love. However, in Aladdin, he is just a robber with a good heart who wins the love of his life with a little help from magic.
3. The Peanuts series are Mr. Farley's favorite animated series.
4. I chose this answer because I found it stated on one of his posts earlier this year. When I saw the question, I did not know the answer but decided to try to find it on his blog. The statement is on this post: Movie Monday - Schultz and Peanuts. He wrote, "I loved Peanuts when I was the age that my children are now. I still enjoy reading the comic strip and watching the animated programs."
5. I think Mr. Farley likes these series because he visited the Charles Schulz museum in Santa Rosa (which I have been to and loved as well), he dedicated a unit to the series, and he said he loved them since his childhood. Most of our favorite childhood memories and interests remain with us throughout our lives.
6. My best work this year was the creation of my character. All the time, effort, and research that I put into creating Maia produced a real-like person. She has many characteristic traits that bring her to life, and she is my own creation. I gave her a name, occupation, personality, and random quirks. It is amazing how one can create such a big thing out of nothing.
7. My last animation was called Planet 23. This is about a planet created by humans and left in space millions of light years away. It is a backup for when Earth is reduced to ruins by human destruction. Since it is getting bored out in a galaxy with no one else, it decides to pay a visit to its creators on Earth. Planet 23 travels through space, passing by numerous planets and stars as it remains excited with a smile on its face. Finally, it sees a sign mentioning its arrival at the Milky Way Galaxy. Before it can celebrate too much, however, a black hole appears and it is sucked into it, disappearing into the mysteries of space. I created this animation with the thought of what might happen to people once Earth is destroyed and due to my love for space. Also, it signifies the depressing but true fact that no matter what we do we cannot save Earth from destruction unless we stop using its precious resources.
8. Final Animation; Planet 23 This is the one without sound. For the one with, please check your email Mr. Farley.
9. Firstly, I created a character with depth. Planet 23 is a kind, innocent being but it is too naive to realize that it is just being used and will be in great danger of being destroyed on its journey. Secondly, I put in a lot of thought into my plot. I created this animation with the thought of what might happen to people once Earth is destroyed and due to my love for space. Also, it signifies the depressing but true fact that no matter what we do we cannot save Earth from destruction unless we stop using its precious resources. Lastly, I incorporated sound. I had suitable background music and gave my character a voice. Using a voice recording app, I recorded each dialogue and changed the voice to add some humor to the animation.
10. Stella (Jaeyun) Seo created my favorite animation. It was simply, yet expressive about the struggles a tiny dragon faces to blow out its birthday caandle. Since it breathes fire, it just keeps igniting it and eventually burns its cake. The beginning of the animation was very artful with the "panning" of the camera, zooming, and others just like a real movie.
11. My responsibilities as a student are to refrain from having food/drinks around the computers, being careful around the equipment, and assisting my peers as well. Digital work is rarely done alone, so working with my classmates is one of my biggest responsibilities. In this particular class, I must have my sketchbook out in the beginning of class every day, come to class on time, and listen to directions carefully.
