The Box- First Animation

I made this for Advanced Film and TV. It took me a LONG time, but it was worth it. This is one of the three of my movies that are going to the chicagoland high school film festival, and I think this has the greatest chance of getting first out of those three. I animated this using stop-motion drawings and cutouts.

News Break

Hey. I haven't posted in a while since I started to use facebook, so here is the news:

1) I've been running for indoor track and got a new personal record for my mile- 5:12
2) Said indoor track is finished, and I messed up bad on the last meet: ran 6 laps instead of 5. *face-palm*
3) Outdoor track will start after spring break.
4) I'm currently visiting Mom and Matt in L.A. for my week of spring break.
5) I didn't have enough time to clean my room before I left (due to track practices, meets, and large amounts of homework) so I'll be grounded from using the internet for an unknown time when I get back.
6) I finished my animation a long time ago, and I actually finished a music-video too. Both have gotten their share of praises.
7) My teacher for Advanced Radio and TV submitted my movie trailer, music video, and animation to the chicagoland high school film festival. Woot!
8) My Adv. Radio/TV class is starting to work on one minute commercials/PSAs. I'm thinking of doing an animated PSA for going green. It would take a long time but I have a lot more to spare during Spring Break.
9) I'm taking pictures of Flat Stanley at interesting places for my little cousin Tanner. It's been going well except that Flat Stanley was attacked by a parrot within the first day of adventure. Not a good start.
10) I wanted to end at ten.

Song of the Day # 12

Justice- D.A.N.C.E.

A catchy dance song with an awesome music-video, what else can you ask for? Justice is a Christian-Electronic group, as you could probably guess from their album: Cross, which has a big (you guessed it) cross on the cover.

News: NO SCHOOL! I've had yesterday and today off because of extremely cold weather (it's -16 degrees today). This is right before the weekend, and to top that off, I have Monday off for Martin Luther King Day, so I'm having a 5 day weekend! When I saw that I had no school today, I was so giddy I couldn't fall back to sleep. I picked D.A.N.C.E. as the song of the day because I'm so happy today that at random times, I'll burst into a rhythmic flailing of my appendages.

Song of the Day # 11

Beck- Lost Cause

This is my favorite Beck song. There's two music-videos for this song already, but I'm planning on making another for my next Broadcasting project.

News: I'm still working on my stop-motion animation for Broadcasting. I still have to film some more then I can just finish up my editing, but in order to film I have have to draw a good amount more. It's due next wednesday so I've been skipping out on after school running so I have more time to work on it.

Song of the Day # 10

Coldplay- Viva la Vida

I don't know how anyone wouldn't know Coldplay, but maybe you haven't heard their new album. I've had this song stuck in my head for a while now, and I think it's my new favorite Coldplay song. As far as I know, Viva la Vida is about a fallen king.

News: I'm back in school after the long winter break...
...*sigh*, and I'm already tired after two days. Oy, I can't wait till I retire, but I still have more than a few decades before I'll be able to do that.

Song of the Day # 9

K-OS: The Love Song

I found this guy just recently. He's so amazing, I'm surprised he's not as well known. K-OS is a Canadian band, and I can only assume they're really big up north.

News: I'm towards the end of my winter vacation, and these 2 weeks have gone by really fast... dang.
This past week I've been out at Grandma Bagwill's again, which means that I didn't have internet so I couldn't post. It's always fun to visit relatives out in Somonauk, and I remembered my video games this time so yay.

Oh, and Happy New Year!
