Music Video Finale

P3T3 Thriller from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Hello my lovely friends, and welcome to another post about ME!! My fabulous team and I, (that would be Alexis ChatfieldChristina Kaiwi and Kaile McKeown check out their blogs here!) are making an awesome video to Thriller by Michael Jackson, but wait! Why is this post so important? It is the last post for the year!!!! (crying) However don't worry I will still be in GT next year! YAY!!!!

Our storyline is about a girl and she goes walking alone in the woods. She sees a bunch of creatures in the bushes and she is very scared. Then the creatures come to her and she sees that they are ZOMBIES! She tries to scream, but they cover her mouth and turn her into a zombie. Then a bunch of other zombies come and they all dance the Thriller dance. The four zombies (Alexis, Kaile, Christina, and ME!) all turn more people into zombies, and look for more. Our storyline matches the song because the song is about creepy thing lurking around being scary and scaring innocent humans. That is basically what our storyline is about.

My favorite fast edit montage sequence is during the part where the song says, "you try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it" during that we put Kaile standing next to a tree, the my hand covers her mouth. it then repeats in different filter. It looks really cool and scary and I enjoyed making it look good and picking out the fun visual effects. In fact I had a ton of fun making the whole video. I had a ton of fun working on the plan, and doing the makeup (We all did some makeup but I was in charge of it because I have a TON of costume makeup.) I also had a lot of fun filming and putting the whole FABULOUS thing together. we had so much fun exploring the visual effects, transitions, and much more of iMovies secrets. This so far was my favorite project of the whole year.

This music video showcases my best work because I really tried my absolute best, and I was working on the editing with Alexis and we both are pretty good at editing. We really tried hard to make each second of the video perfect and flawless (like us) (; and to really make it shine with different visual effects. Then of course there is Kaile's and Christina's FABULOUS work on the photoshop documents (great job you guys!) Making the look spectacular! YAY! I really think that this project shows our best work out of the entire school year. I am extremely proud of my whole team and myself, and I believe that if we just keep trying harder and learning more we could do even better projects in the future.

Michael Jackson – Thriller Lyrics

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking
In the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops
Your heart
You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before
You make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between
The eyes
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to
Strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere
Left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see
The sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just
Imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up
Behind
You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with
Forty eyes
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight

Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life

Animated Life Lessons

P3T4 Klutz Practices Ballet from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.



Hello Friends and followers! this post is all about my new project and my fantastic team of Nicholas and Jhoanna Jhoanna Marie Domingo and Nicholas Koo. Check out their blogs here!

My teams traits are that Jhoanna is clumsy and Nicholas is overly helpful. I am extremely stubborn. Their traits are shown by having Jhoanna be the very clumsy ballet student, while Nicholas helps her too much and does not improve his own work. I am the stubborn ballet teacher who thinks Jhoanna can't succeed in the project because she is clumsy.


     The humor in our story is how Jhoanna is always falling, and failing while she's dancing. The life lesson is to always believe in yourself, and never let yourself think you can't do it. This applies to everyone because everyone should believe in themselves. This is a meaningful, powerful message that everyone should listen to, and follow. Another message was to never give up on your dreams and always support our friends.

Since my team has never worked together before, this project was very difficult. I admit I did argue A LOT with my teammate Nicholas. First, when we were drawing our storyboard, he did not like the way I drew his nose. I said that it was a perfectly fine nose and that he was mad for no reason. He said it was to big. Another time was when we were working on some of our first frames and he did not like the position I put him in. I yelled that we needed to get it done. One of our biggest fights was somehow about a cat and whose cat they drew was better, and which one we were going to use. In the end we decided to use mine (since it was so fabulous!) and we stopped fighting (for now!) (;


Goodbye everyone who loves reading about me (because I'm so awesome!) and see you next time! And if you're interested, check out my fantastic teams blogs. Farewell, and goodbye! (:
