Music Video Finale

P3T4 Happy from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

In G.T, we are starting the last project of the year. This is also my last blog post of the year... I think. Our last project is a music video. We are doing Happy by Pharell Williams. So, our storyline is about some other people who are sad, and I make them happy. I give them magic dust, and they become happy. We all start parading around, spreading joy. In this project, me and another teammate bust out a move. My teammates in this project are Treysen Nishida, James Kessler, and finally Tyler Tanaka. This storyline relates to the lyrics, because, well, the song is literally named happy, and everyone is happy. The music video will have a fun feeling to it, and it will be fun to make and film.

In our project, we have a lot of scenes and edits. My favorite fast-edit was when we have a dance off. It was really quick, but also very fun. We danced, I fell down, and I chased Treysen. We had a fun time filming the video, but it was embarrassing, and sometimes frustrating. Sometimes though, you have to go out of your comfort zone. I am pretty proud of our music video. It is very weird to think that this is our last project of the year. It is good that we are doing this project, and if we should do this project again, we have the experience. The project may also help in future jobs, as we know how to edit and film. We learned how to use special effects, and do green screen.

This music video is pretty good in my opinion. I think it is either the best work or second best work that we did. This is because we had fun, and we did a pretty good storyline. The editing looks pretty good, and it is synced pretty good as well. It fits into the project rules. It is close to 2 minutes, and is pretty high quality. The story is edited to the beat of the song, which also fits the requirements. We added cover pictures, which matches the song, and also green screen and effects. This is our last project of the year, as well as blog post. See you in a couple months!

This is what was happening behind the scenes, while making the video!

Lyrics- Happy by Pharell Williams


well I should probably warn you I'll be just fine

Yeah, no offense to you don't waste your time

Here's why

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Happy, bring me down

Can't nothing, bring me down

My level is too high, bring me down

Can't nothing, bring me down

I said bring me down

Can't nothing, bring me down

My level is too high, bring me down

Can't nothing, bring me down

I said

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Happy, bring me down

Can't nothing, bring me down

My level is too high bring me down

Can't nothing, bring me down

I said

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Because I'm happy

Animated Life Lessons

Hello! In G.T we are starting a new animation project. In this project, I was teamed up with new people that I have never worked with. My teammates are Christina and Julie. My teammates are all fun to work with, and they have some personal character traits that we want to exaggerate. In our animation (it's about soccer), Julie is the coach and is nice and supportive. Christina is the friend who is helpful and makes me feel better when I mess up. I am the clumsy player, but I still try hard and practice as much as I can to get better. These character traits are what we have in our animation and real life.

In our story, we have an important life lesson that people can relate to. Our life lesson is to never give up and to keep trying even if you mess up. This can relate to other people because when you mess up, you get very stressed, and you stop. In our story, I get hit in the face and I still keep on trying! That is our life lesson that relates to you. We have humor in our story as well as a life lesson. Like I said already, I get hit in the face, and I just mess up. So our story is not just all the serious life lesson, it is also funny. That is how we used humor in our story and what our life lesson was.

So, as I have said already, in this project we were all working with new partners. This had some benefits, but also some down sides. Our productivity was good, but sometimes we did not all go in at our free time to work on this project. Our biggest challenge in this project was slow working. We have been behind because of this. Although there was a very frustrating part in this project, we had some fun moments. Our best moment in this project was probably when we were puppet warping. This was the best moment because of the weird movement.
