Our Animation Story




Our story is about a girl named Tu who get's cyber bullied, she begins to get very sad and depressed. Her friends begin to notice and ask her what's wrong, she tells one of them and she starts to feel a little happier. The cyber bully continues to cyber bully her but eventually her and her friends find out who the cyber bully is and tell him to stop and he stops. Our focus statement is "Cyber bully affects Tu" this tells our story very clearly I think.

I think our audience will learn that it's better to tell someone if you are getting cyber bullied. I think they will get this message because when Tu tells her friend she is a lot happier and feels better. When the bully confronts her again, Tu is able to stand up for herself, the bully eventually stops bullying her. I think our audience will also learn that they are perfect the way they are and to not let other people get to you.  I think they will learn this because in the end the bully tells Tu that she's ugly.  Tu tells him that she doesn't care what he thinks and that she's happy with being herself.



I think the worst moment with my team was probably when we were filming, we just started filming without actually doing the storyboard. Not doing the story board made it hard to figure out what to film and how to lay it out.  I think the best moment our team had was when we turned the project in fully completed and looking very nice.

Animation Outtakes

In my team I have Dylan, Tyler, Leilia, and Tu, we are telling Tu's story about her being cyber bullied. Dylan is amazing at poetry and is a very hard worker. Tyler is also a very hard worker but make everything a lot more fun. Leilia is funny and extremely fun to be around she tries as hard as she can and the end result is usually pretty great! Tu is a very fun person to be around, she is always smiling and she is extremely photogenic and she's really pretty!

Stop-motion is a type of animation that makes a set of images look as if they're moving. GIF means Graphics Interchange Format, this is another type of animation.  These animations are usually drawings and many animators use them.  Animators typically start by learning the bouncing ball like what I have made here:


We are telling Tu's story about when she was cyber bullied, cyber bullying is probably one of the greatest problems for kids in middle school and high school, Cyber bullying could be a simple accident, you could read or misinterpret a text message very easily! People all around the world are committing suicide because of cyber bullying and we just want to send the message out there that you need to talk to someone and that you should be careful when you are texting.
