Stop motion animation ( communication )

This is a little stop motion animation movie about communication. we did this to show different ways of communication. one thing that was really fun to do was, doing the colour key. colour key is like green screening. unfortunately it didn't work for us. something that i learnt is that it takes a looong looooong time to make. you need to have a lot of patience and persistence when things don't go the way you want them to. i wonder how some people have the time to make an actual movie using stop motion animation. Lisa gets bullied by Patrisha because she has a beard. Then Jacob comes in and he stands up for lisa and patrisha apologizes.


 

Marimba Festival

On Wednesday the 7th of November, round about 115 kids came from schools round NZ came to Tauranga, to perform a selection of songs about ... the ocean. 20 of the kids came from my school. the students from my school were soooooo lucky because we had the choice of going and participating, most other kids were selected or had to audition. We were the first school from Gisborne to ever participate in this marimba festival. One thing that stood out to me was that everyone that participated had different instruments. They obviously had the same thing but they were different styles. There were also violins, a saxophone and a shell horn. I feel like we were like a big orchestra performing in front of fancy people. There was like a couple hundred people watching us play. It was an very fun experience that I had.
