336 Downfall of Love

Love is something that has been in controversy for a very long time. Some people say they will never fall in love, and how it is unimportant and only a distraction. Others however, say they wont be truly happy until the point they find true love since it is the only thing that matters. These two ideas are shared by many people. I must say that love is actually both. There must be some part of it all that makes people happy. Although at the same time that happiness can be darkness for others. There is no way to actually state if love is a good thing or it Is not. It is all based on experience. I, however, have not yet experienced love in that way. I must admit, I do feel scared to. I have read a lot about what love can do, and what it can cause. There is one thing I am sure of, its not something people can regret happening. First loves are the best since you have no idea what might happen. Even the whole process of being in love can be amazing. This is all very fascinating, but what I will be talking about in the Downfall of Love. When love goes all wrong, and when people have no choice but to let go. The hardest part of it all.

Little girls always want to plan their wedding, and their perfect prince for when they grow up. The thing they are not told, is that love does not always last. Actually, it usually does not. Love can end in a great variety of ways. People can lose interest, people can fall into temptation, people can even move on to what is best. The truth is that no matter the way it ends, someone will end up getting hurt. That is the truth of the matter. I'm not only talking about adult love. Young love is the exact same way, or even maybe worse. Since they have less liberty and have more limitations. Also because they are smitten, and they think it is all rainbows and unicorns. They don't think there are people out there trying to hurt them. This is a big problem with teens. Boys are just looking for one thing, and they are capable of doing anything in order to fool girls into doing it. Love is seriously some tricky business. No one ever knows where it might lead to. People always talk about finding true love. What is it does not exist? Will we ever know? There are all of these stories of heartbroken girls and boys. Yet they still look for love. So I will ask this, why are people so obsessed with love? Will they seriously not be happy until they find it? I guess that is all up to them.

As I have stated, love in not pretty. Maybe I am wrong, and maybe all we need is love. But there is no way to predict how that downfall will end up like. It all depends on the situation. Love can be magical and amazing, but that does not mean that the downfall wont hurt. Because I can promise you that it will. I bet that the world be much better off if love was actually sincere. Of course, that too depends on the person and the situation. If someone can define is love is a good thing, I would love to hear about it.

Rotoball Final!

8th Grade RotoBall from mistermark on Vimeo.

This project was definitely a trill ride. I came across a lot of different obstacles, but I was able to over come all of them. The one that took me the longest, was adding the motion pencil thing to the video. I did every single step a lot of times to see if there was anything wrong with what I was doing. Although, I could not find anything that I was doing wrong. Finally, I saw that form one little step, that was not added, made it so hard for me to finish. I have to admit that I did receive a little bit of help form my classmates. Once that was all figured out, I found that the other steps that I still needed to do were a complete piece of cake. I was a drag to have to do every single key-frame. But it was worth it in the end, since all of the movements did look real from that point on.

Finished Rotoball

Wow! This video could not have come out more perfect. I loved the way it was ordered around, and how it was designed. It was very cool to see what each of my classmates wanted to do with their cartoon. We are really creative now that oi see the video. There were only a handful of things that should have been fixed, but are obviously going to make a difference once they are fixed. I personally do not need to make any changes, because I followed all instructions from the start. My classmates, though, have to change the speed of the video and the color of the background. Since it looks to similar to the color of the persons outline. I am sure that if we show this video to other people, they will want to do one for themselves also. I feel completely grateful for Rodrigo and for the teacher, because they were the ones who put more of their work in order to make it fit together more fully. Not everyone gets the chance to do things like this, so I am definitely happy that we who had the chance, could accomplish it all. I cant wait to see the final take of the video once the changes have been made and fixed up by my classmates. I am still shocked with this amazing ending result.

I had a blast making this cartoon. I personally think it was because I had never been taught to do things like that. Most of the time they would teach how to use excel or power point, or one of those simple things. This time it was very different. The thing I most liked was the fact that we had to make a video of ourselves and trace it. So it was really us in the cartoon. Although, it did get pretty hard at time. I especially had the difficulty of when I had to make the butterfly move around the screen as if it were flying. I was supposed to use the tracing cheat. Although, it was a complete fail, since I tried and tried to do it but I could not succeed. Until my classmate who was next to me helped me out. This was a complete new experience and I cant wait to see how the ending will be when Mr. Mark makes them all together. I am very interested to see what my classmates have made. This is a skill that I do not plan on throwing away. It is something that not all people know, and I am very grateful that I got taught how to use it. I told my mom that I was learning these new skills at school, and she was it shock. She started to tell me what she would learn when she was in school. It had completely nothing to do with what we are learning now. These was a new experience that was was quite fun, I cant wait to see what more there is to learn
