Intervention ideas

check out a cd at the library. take that cd out, return the cd with a cd of my own. could be myself singing, could be a recording of me giving an inspiring lecture of some sort. id ask them to return the cd by a certain date, and leave a note/cd of their own inside. i would check it out again. either keep this type of penpal thing going or just return the actual cd all together.
 OR take your own cd and put it in the library

write a note on the back of a bathroom stall (with dry erase marker)

find a random address, hopefully foreign, and write them a letter. 

get boys and blue together and randomly go up to an old lady in the cafeteria of tuttle mall and serenade her

ask random people the truth about what they think about people, society etc. they have to be completely honest answers, that usually people keep to themselves and are too afraid to say outloud. id make a montage of these people answering questions in a video and put it on the announcements. the basic idea is showing honesty and how important it is. and also the importance of stating our opinion and not letting others influence us.

get huge bed sheets and block the hallways with them. the sheets will be split down the center and there can be a sign and arrow pointing to it saying "Narnia". this hallway can be the one leading to the media arts room.  when people enter "Narnia" they'll come face to face with a huge poster saying something encouraging or motivating.

get a pizza delivered to my favorite teacher during class. (id pay for it and write something inside the box before giving it to him). i would get another teacher to randomly give it to him. he wouldnt know it was me.

give letters to people who i dont personally know, but that i admire and tell them why i admire them. anonymously. i could find their locker and stuff it in the slits.

i could tape notes on all lunch tables saying encouraging/funny/nice things

Animated Anicdote

Describe a challenge (or set of challenges) you faced in planning for your sequence.

This project was difficult for me because i am not particularily good at stop motion. Im very bad at managing my time and get impatient when doing animations. So my biggest challenge was putting down time and effort into my animations.

How did you meet the challenge?

I met this challenge every time i sat down in my room trying to animate. I get distracted easily, so sitting at home working on a project is not good for me.


Describe your rationale for animating what you animated, and for using the method (stop frame vs cut paper vs handdrawn vs rotoscope etc) you chose.

I did stop frame because i thought i could be creative and it would be easier since im not great at drawing. I used a toy to move around because i needed to show her dad flailing around. Unfortunately i didnt have a guy toy so it was strange using a big Dora the explorer.


What was the best part of the project? The worst?

The best part of the project was the open-endedness. I had the freedom to be as creative as i wanted without restriction. The worst part was the animating though because im neither good or patient enough for it.
