My Proposal

My name is Kimani Reid I am an eleventh grader, My project is a flash mini series that i will present only the first episode while creating the other episodes. I dont believe that this will teach the class anything but i do believe that it connects with two of the habits of minds. The first is Imagination because i am using the characters that i created in their world that i created as well, the next is commitment because if i don't have patience with the program i will either quit on the project or break bills computer.
After thinking through what i was going to do for this class i came upon two decisions. the first was to do a digital comic about a character i made or a flash that would have something to do with the government and how evil they really are I drew out the characters and gave them names and figured out which one would be the main character which took longer than i thought it would.
Then we presented and when it was my turn i did not really have a good idea of what i was going to do so i got some ideas from my peers and the one that stuck with me was to use the characters and make a flash to make a mini series about my characters and what goes on in their world. The main challenge in this project is to make the flash itself because this kind of work i have never done before so i am learning at the same time.
I have also come to the conclusion that animation is harder than it looks but these are only my first steps on my road to pursuing a career in animation so i have to have some sort of knowledge of Flash.I believe that i am very committed because i havent given up yet so with this i will conclude and consider myself successful in being imaginative and committed in doing this project.

I do believe that this project will teach both you and your class something. I think your class will learn a little about how you think. I think they'll also learn about a software that allows them to watch many commercials, videos, cartoons, etc.

I think the challenge for you will be to have the story and characters flow and not be all over the place. Stay focused Gsparrow.
