RaceStop Motion

This was a stop-motion movie that we made in encore tech class. A stop motion is when you take pictures at a still position but you move whatever you want to move a tincy bit. You should take about 300 pictures to have a good movie! It was really fun but long.

My Avoca West Memories

In our last project,  we used Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 to change and mess up a photo of a classmate. We played w/ our pictures and used filters like the liquify, bloat, pucker and warp tools. It was an awesome project.

james + Jack What I hate about auttum…..

The project that we just completed recently was a Podcast about autumn. We used Garage Band to finish it and we had a really great time. We were assigned to recite a poem that we had chosen. It also was required that we use at least 1 homemade sound effect. A homemade sound effect is when you create sound effects using random things. We were also informed that we needed to download 3 or more digital Sound effects.  Ms. Zimmer our encore tech teacher told us a few free websites to get online sound effects from. To make it less complicated we used only one website: Soundjay.com. The one homemade we made was rustling leaves at the part we said leaves. My absolute favorite part of the project was the funny things we put was the funny things. This really fun. You should do it too! Enjoy !:) . Give me feedback and come again.
