Our Animation Story


P5T2 Julie Overcomes Writers Block from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Our focus statement is "Julie Overcomes Writers Block" Our animation is Maddie's story but Julie is the main character. Julie plays the girl that has writers block and has an all out battle in her head. A wall, played by Maddie, is the thing that is blocking Julie's idea when she is trying to write an imagination essay. She fights paper soldiers and archers. Finally as she defeats the last soldier, the wall begins to crack and finally, it breaks and her ideas begin to flow out of her mind and on to her paper.

The lesson we are trying to teach our audience is that everyone has writers block and it can be an all out battle in your head. We wanted to share that everyone feels that way sometimes. Its something that not many people think about because its not really a big problem most of the time. But when you do have writers block on an essay, its a real pain. We wanted to show the battle that goes on in our heads sometimes. It is a bit literal though.

In my opinion, I think this project was a lot of fun. I wasn't stressed so much like everyone else. Sometimes, I like a challenge. I think, honestly, we didn't really need the extra time we got, but its always good to had extra time to finish our projects. This was also my first time animating anything so i think it was a lot of fun. I think the best moments were when we didn't show up at lunch to work on the project. I mean
we always did but we always showed up late.

When ever we were late Maddie would get mad and say she would kill us. I like working with Maddie, she makes the project less stressful and even more fun. She always puts a smile on my face. I also like the day when Maddie tried to film but she had the lens cap on. She is the best leader I could ask for. I am very lucky that I got to be on her team twice this year. The best moments are always the moments when someone gets the whole team to laugh, like when Jayse forgets my name. The worst moments are when our whole team starts to stress. Everyone starts to stress and worry and run around. We never really get anything done when we stress.
