Making our interactive video

By Susan Cao

Yesterday, we did more things!! The thing we did in the morning are these: when I got there, Lisette showed me some video we watched yesterday. They were so cool!! The one I liked best is the tiger. The effect was a tiger running on top of the walls of buildings and stores. The tiger is actually a projection, and the projector runs on battery instead of a power line. That way, they can produce an animation projection of the tiger, and project in onto passing buildings and walls while driving. I thought that was soooo cool! It looked so real, and I’m sure the people in NY was probably very surprised!! The other animation projection is building. Then, suddenly, the house collapsed in the middle. It looked like the house is made of rubber, and then a ball suddenly poked from underneath the rubber, and so the rubber formed a ball shape. I think it was cool. In the end, it became a face. I have posted it above.

Later that day, we edited the girl’s interactive videos. I thought iMovie is a horrible, no offense, horrible software. It’s nothing like Final Cut. It shows the videos in a very confusing pattern, and, well, it just isn’t my type of software. I prefer Final Cut waaaaay better. Well, getting back to the story. We had everything imported from both cameras, but didn’t do any editing yet. So we took out the good parts, cut the bad parts out, and finally put in the choices. The video is about a team of girls and a team of boys. They are hunting for the Haunted Piano. One of the girls spits on her hand and shook hands with one of the boys. The boy spit on his hand too and shook hands with her. That was funny. that morning, we also edited the part where the girls split up and…….well, play the game to find out!

We also did some more blog posts, and had lunch. Lunch was fun. We played Truth or Dare. Lets just say someone asked another person about there most embarrassing moment. That person answered a very embarrassing thing, and Lisette heard all of it!!!!!!!!! We decided not to play that game again. instead, Gio came, and we told him he was 12 minutes late, and he said he was actually 18 minutes early.

Afterwards, we shot the video of the boys. They went to the park and heard something behind a tree, and Li John swung his baseball bat at the tree, almost hitting his two other friends. Then, they went in a forest and suddenly, two arrows flew toward them, and they almost died. After coming out of the forest, one of them tripped on a skateboard and broke their ankle. Then, a roll of tape swung towards them and hit one of them in the face. I thought that was funny. But probably not for them. The tape was very heavy, and I probably hurt to be hit by it.

Then, they split up. Two of the boys got soooo tired and fell asleep, and two of them had to go home and got grounded.

After that, we played some games. We played something called conductor. We have the conductor pick the theme, and he/she will point to a person. That person will start and he will keep on making the noise over and over again until the conductor points to them again. I thought that was a pretty good game, better than museum. I made a lot of noises, and I picked the cartoon theme when I was conducting. I had a great time that day.
