Our Animation Story



Our focus statement is "Celeste Seeks Friendship" and it tells our story because the main character, Celeste, seeks friendship after the rejection of her old friends. You should care because many people  have been rejected for various reasons, but there are many ways to make friends. There are millions of people on the internet that can become your friend and they can even help you out with your life.
The best thing about internet friends is the fact of a long distance friendship. So there is practically no way they can lose contact.

The audience learns a lesson about friendship and how it really works and that your friend doesn't need to be right in front of you for them to be your friend. The audience also learns that internet friends can help you with things and can be better than the friends up close. This is presented when Loren in the story helps Celeste. They're both internet friends yet still Loren makes a big impact on Celeste's life by helping her out. This concept is what is mainly explained in our story.




I think our best moments have been when we all watched our final product because it looked amazing and we all loved it. I also liked the fact when everyone was helping each other out and were really supportive even if someone was messing up. I also was amazed when I found that the first time ever in a team that I was in everyone was participating. We didn't have bad moments in our team but there was only one time which was only for me. This was when I had to redo my stykz animation because i messed it up.

Animation Outtakes

My teammates are Lester, Celeste and Loren and they are all very interesting people. Lester was born in Messina, Italy and he loves to play tennis. Loren has a twin brother called Hershel, and they both used to live in Brooklyn, New York. Celeste is a part of a band and likes to dye her hair regularly. These are all my teammates and they are truly awesome.

Stop motion animation is an art of taking a series of pictures to make inanimate objects come to life. With stop motion you can make your character do creative things such spin instead of walking and thing like people teleporting. The main point of stop motion is to make people do things they normally would've had trouble doing and make it become easier. GIF's are animations or video that are on a infinite loop. GIF's are mostly used when something on camera is caught and is funny or cool they will keep looping it to make it so you don't have to keep replaying it yourself.

Our story is about this girl named Celeste who gets rejected by her friends and she gets upset. So she 
goes on the internet and finds this girl about the same age as her. They soon become friends and Celeste tells Loren her problems. Loren then gives Celeste advice in her problems. Finally Celeste talks to her friends to fix things. You should care because we all have internet friends and that is no different then a friend at your school or in your neighborhood.
