I have gone to New York City twice, and both times were because of my brother does a lot with musical theater. At first, I was fine with going to New York, but it wouldn't be my number 1 place to go. But, I heard all of the random things we were seeing and got more optimistic about going. So first, when we arrived, it was mostly all about my brothers theater, and I'm not a theater guy so I won't talk much about the beginning.

After all the theater things, I got to do some of the stuff I like with my family. Some of the stuff included the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, 9/11 memorial, Top Rock (thats where I got the 2 overhead pictures), Brooklyn Bridge, etc. I really enjoyed tours and stuff like that, so this was up my alley. We spent about 3 whole days going to random places, and we pretty much walked the whole time all three days.

The last couple of things we did was Central Park and the Toys R Us on Times Square. Then we loaded up and left for Ohio right after New York for a family visit. We also went to a theme park called Cedar Point, where they have the second tallest roller coaster and the third fastest roller coaster called Top Thrill Dragster. That is a wrap up of my trip.

Graphic Design Final Blog Post My Favorite Projects My favorite project to do was the vector illustrated project. What we had to do was trace over a choice of a family member using the pen tool, and shade in spots of the picture. In the end, we made a simple version of the picture you chose. The picture I chose was a picture of my dog. This project took me about 3-4 weeks to complete. The main challenge I faced was tracing over the darker/lighter parts of my dogs, and making those parts the correct color. The main skill I learned during the project was accurately tracing over pictures. Throughout the whole project, I always thought I was done, but someone would always tell me that there could be more shading. Others peoples advice telling me to do more shading motivated me to do extra shading, which would make it look less cartoonish. At the very beginning, I was going to do a picture of myself, but I decided to go with my dog instead, which I thought was a good change I made. T...

Music Video Blog The Music We chose and the Theme We Portrayed The music we chose was From Your Mouth from God Lives Underwater. The theme I wanted to Portray was serious but yet cool because he was serious through the whole video but he was eating in reverse and it looked like he was pulling the food from your mouth. The Process The first thing we did is we researched different music videos, and chose one that is clean and we could realistically do. Then, after that, we filled out our story board so we knew what the actor should do and how quickly he should do it. Then, we made a shopping list of all the food we needed. Then, we met at Johns house and me and drew filmed him eating. Finally, Ethan edited but we all helped him. My Role The main role I did was planning out what he should eat, and how quickly he should do it. Technically The main thing we learned is how to edit in reverse. Professionally The main thing we learned is teamwork. We had to find ...

Movie Trailer Blogger

The project we did was recreating a movie trailer. Our group chose "Napoleon Dynamite". Process In preproduction, we worked on looking at all the clips, drawing them out, and putting what time that happens. We also put all of the lines our actors had to say. During production, we filmed all of our clips, including going to places like the lockers, my house, and Woodland Elementary. During Post production, we entered in the slides, the music, and put the clips in order. What I Learned I didn't learn as much of technology things like hardware snd software. I learned mostly acting and teamwork, as I was our main actor and I acted in a couple other videos. It was hard, and you had to cooperate well, but it was fun. What I Would Do Differently/Same One thing I would do differently is filming earlier so we didn't cram editing at the end. One thing I would do the same is our clips were good, and that was probably because we worked hard on pre production. What Ex...
