What was easy or hard? :

The hard part was drawing the characters, but the easy part was making the animation.

Why are you proud of it? :

I am proud of it because, i love how the designs came out, the voice overing and how the video was easy to make.

How it made your video better :

I feel like adding the “DRAMATIC” background music made it already 10 times better!

How it relates to our learning around life cycles of Kaitiakitanga :

It related to the life cycle of Kaitiakitanga because, it showed us how the life cycle of humans can help save the world and be a Kaitiaki (guardian) of the land anywhere!

Heres some photos of the work i liked/think needed help and my reaction to how i could improve :

This is my planning, i could improve the drawings by outlining them with black pen to make then stand out, and i could use more vibrant colors.

This is the toddler, i could improve this by changing her hands.

My favourite parts:

1). My first favourite part was being able to draw on my iPad.

2). My second favourite part was the voice-overs, it was fun.

3). My third favourite part was making the video.

My least favourite parts:

1). Moving the characters. It was not very fun and my hands ended up hurting a little bit

Reflection:

I mostly enjoyed steam, and i would do it again! Some thing i would change is having to only have 2 options of taking the pictures.

What is a storyboard?

A storyboard like a comic but with piece of writing underneath the drawings.

Why is it important to complete a storyboard before starting your storyboard?

Because, your storyboard visually guides you throughout the production process.

Heres the picture of the storyboard! :

Introduction :

During the week, i have been focusing on drawing my backgrounds, i have been using an app called “Ibis Paint X”.

List The Process :

I have decided i wanted to do a human life cycle so i will be needing babies, toddlers, teenagers, adults, grandparents. For the backgrounds i will be needing a hospital, daycare, primary school, high school, collage, beach and last but not least! A hospital again. I will need my buddy to do voiceovers in the video aswell!

Your Design Process In Ibis Paint X :

I have been using the brush called, “Dip Pen (HARD)” for the outlines and i traced over some images from google. I have made the drawings colorful by coloring it with the colors, Red, Orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white and mostly black for the outlines!

Reflection :

I am satisfied about how my designs look like! I like the backgrounds and how the practice runs were like.

Challenges :

The challenges i have went through with this project is that i was having to learn to use a new app, and about getting the colours right/layers.

Here are some photos of my work! :
