This is the MBot activity we did over some of the classes. We basically had to make a course which we had to make our MBot go over it was quite confusing we had to get some help from other teammates.

5 things I am grateful in 2018 is that I got to see My grandpa. He Came from India at the starting of winter break and I’m meeting him after 12 years. All our family went to the airport and were their waiting for him. All our family basically filled up the Airport waiting room and everyone was just starring at us it was really fun. When he came home he told us a lot of stories how the last time he saw us was when he was when we were very young we would’ve not remembered him but our mom and dad hanged a photo of our whole family and that’s how we remembered who he was. We spent nights talking. My dad brought really good food which I took full advantage of everyday was fun because there was always guests over at our house to see him. I probably gained a lot of weight in those few days and we made a lot of memories and that was definitely one of my best highlights of 2018.

Over the year my phone did break which everyone is usually pretty sad about but me being me I was really happy because I could finally get a new phone and I did there was a lot of wait but my dad got me one which he regrets right now. Meanwhile all that was happening we planned a trip in Mexico over summer and we went to Mexico. It was definitely a good choice to go their I got see different parts of the world and how the society is there and what type of lifestyle people have their. We want shopping , Parks had picnics and so much more stuff the sad part was we had a limited time I didn’t know when the days went by and it was already time no return to home because school time came by. My parents wont take any risk with my studies and want me to have a good education.

Then it was time for my brother to go to high school and unfortunately my brother didn’t like the high school I went to for some reason so for the sake of him I wanted him to have a good high school year because grade 9 and 8 was fun so I switched school and came to this school from ND and I don’t regret is I made a lot of new friends and mostly my younger brother is having fun here so it was worth it. I got a chance to meet new people and see how it is in this class. Although I will miss ND I made lots of good friends and memorable memories there. If I stayed at Nd I would’ve been harder for my mom to pick us up from two places. My mom already does a lot I don’t want to add more to her list.

In January our soccer season started again and we started practicing for our Metro tournament. We had lots of hard practice some of them even got extended to 2 and a half hours which was a pain but our coach new it was the best for us and he did end up turning right. All those times we hated him so much for making us constantly run sometimes we never even touched the ball one practice we just ran and ran. Finally when the tournament came we all were in perfect shape. The Match was quite Hard and also close we were on the edge of losing but next half we gave it our all and tried our best and scored 2 goals and won the game. We had a celebration party at a banquet hall which our club booked for us because we were a new club and managed to win the tournament the club was very happen.

My Goals for 2019 is to get my L for my drivers license so I can start driving a car but it will take a awhile definitely and I hope I pass and my dad lets me drive his car which will be quite challenging to do. My second goal is to learn to decide between right and wrong and know what’s best for me and my future, to know what I will do when I grow up and which direction and path I have to take to do that. My third goal is to get good grades in school and I’m trying my best to do that. It is very hard to get good grades for me because I slack off sometimes but I’m trying my best to stop that for sure and fulfill what I want to do.

 

1.What was the story of your stop motion about?

My stop motion video was basically about a stick man and his journey. The stick man always stayed in the shadow of the book and had a colourless life. So one day he got a chance to go outside the books field and disobey its orders. His request was listened and a magic stick man came a granted him his wish. That whatever he touched would be colourful. it was fun for him while it lasted but eventually the book knows it all it figured out stick man was missing and came and took it once and for all.

2.How many pictures did you take and what device did you use.

So I used a Camera and a tri-pod to hold the camera still at one angle and took a picture and moved something and took another pictures once all that was done I used a usb chip to insert all the photos into the computer and pasted them in movie maker to finish and edit my project. I think I roughly took about 150-200 pictures.

3. What challenges did you have when putting the project together?

My challenges i faced was definitely first coming up with a story and then putting that into action. Sometimes the Pictures came out blurry so fixing those were hard to but with the help of some people I overcame my challenges.

4. What would you change if you had more time or could do the project again?

If I had more time I would definite make a better character and make the set a little better and make colourless so it stands out more. I would add more stuff to the story and make maybe extend it.

5. Did you enjoy creating your stop motion? How could Mr.Uppal make it more enjoyable in the future?

I think he tried his best to help us all out I would probably get more camera so we could’ve all finished faster and had more time if we wanted to change our project or we could’ve had more time to edit our project.

6. What in your video are you most proud of?

Well I’m most proud of the drawing I did in my movie maker project and the story I came up with but I definitely think I could’ve done a lot of better on this project and could’ve made a better story , set , and a character so I would definitely improve that next time.

7. If PM were to have an “Animation Club” that focused on creating stop motion, 2D and 3D short story animations…would you be interested in joining?

I mean I’m not that interested in animation but I always like to participate and try new things out so I would join and observe if I liked it I would stay.

 

 

 

 

 

In Adobe Illustrator I tried to make a modern house out of different shapes and different tools in Adobe.

 

This is my mind map on computer hardware.

Somethings I learned from the field trip is that there’s a lot of steps to creating one small things in a movie. a lot of stages you have to go threw. I learned about the micro bit and how to use coding to make it do different stuff. Creating codes was very fun but I did encounter some difficulties but I managed threw them with the teachers help. This was relating to the things we did because I’m assuming they did use adobe illustrator and animate to create a animated film. We created some backgrounds and people and made them move and that’s a part of making a animated film. The Pixar exhibit was very fun to got to see new stuff there and physically touch it and saw the steps they did to make that animated movie. It was a good adventure. The food there was very good to.

 

 

Thanks for joining me!
