I watched a video about a brother who saves his little brother from chocking. I liked how the anchors asked simple questions that could be understood by the little boy and I also liked how they had an emergency response worker on the show because that is how the little boy learned how to save someone from chocking. They used a fake baby to demonstrate how to save someone from chocking and I liked that because you could see a visual representation of how the little boy learned it.

I think it would've been better if the mom explained a little more about what happened because it was hard to understand what he was saying at some points.

I will try and use visual references so that the audience can have a visual idea of what is going on. I will also keep in mind to write my questions to the level of the person I am interviewing (example: if I am interviewing someone younger make my questions simpler, than if someone who is older).

Professional Article Review

Maya Software! In this article, a college student writes about downloading Maya in one of his classes. He does not really have an argument, but if there was one I'd say he is for the Maya software program. He writes about how it is helpful because a new setting, Camera Sequencer is used to let people layout their camera shots, and can manage them with one part of the animation. The author did a good job of conveying people to download Maya, but however he did not do such a great job in explaining in detail what some of the other features are. I would add more information next time, and more featues to talk about. In general this article helps me understand the Camera Sequencer and hopefully I will be able to use it sometime at school.

They story I watched was a little boy who received a special Christmas, It all started when a little boy took his moms phone and posted a video of himself on his moms Facebook. He then later appeared on Ellen and was interviewed by Ryan Seacrest and Kris Jenner. He shocked people with his knowledge on dinosaurs. The anchors brought his toys on the show so he could show them what he knows. The anchors gave them their full attention and that to me made watching this story better. A lot of background information was given as the anchors asked him the 5 W's. I personally feel they did a good job with the interview. I will take the skill of really interacting and engaging with people for further interviews.Also, adding more background information to set the scene.

My Animation This is my animation of my bouncing ball. I made this animation in Photoshop. We have been learning about the 12 principles of animation; squash and stretch and ease in/ ease out. I learned that by using the timeline panel everything is done frame by frame. Then you have to repeat all the steps. To me the hardest part of this project was getting all the frames in order and making sure you didn't have two or more of the same frames.
