I have added sound and the song to go along with the still picture movie. The adding of sound with the song was a lot harder then I thought it would be .
I believe if I did the song 1st it would have worked a lot better by get the movie to work with it. I had to slow down the meatball so that the song could catch up with it. I added a small movie in the still picture movie of the boy eating the meatball. To see it work with the still picture movie, I'm not sure if I got my transition from the still picture to the movie as well as it could be.

3rd week--The start of my still picture movie
I started off with my drawings then went on and worked on a 5 sec. test that was a still life picture movie of the world on the movie. The one thing that is making it harder is that I do not have the same kind o computer at home and what ever I do at home I have to redo at school. Not knowing a lot about the I-movie or movie maker this has be a time of trial and error. The older I-movie version is working better for me. I'm able to get the still picture closer together and the time so that every thing looks like it smoother and faster. This week I have been working on the song to go along with the movie. I hope that I can get the pictures and song to work together.

2nd week--My test video
My test video took some time to do. Now I know how to get started with my final one ! There are lots of things that I'm going to change in the end video. I know that I need to have less time between the pictures after working on my test video. Also, I need to watch the shadows around the picture taking area. I shall work on some music to go along with my new video. Next I will finish taking my pictures for my finial video. I hope that I get all the shadows under control and get the speed better between the pictures. I know some thing will go wrong.

1st week --The start of my final project
This is the start of my story broad to help with my time line of my spaghetti song. I only draw a few to get a good idea of how I would start. So the first few pictures will be of the spaghetti and then the song will start. Next the sneeze! The meatball will fly off the spaghetti onto the table.The song goes like this------
On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese.
I lost my poor meatball when someone sneezed.
It rolled off the table, it rolled on the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out the door.
It rolled in the garden and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty as tasty could be,
And early next summer it grew to a tree.
The tree was all covered with beautiful moss.
It grew great big meatballs and tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese.
Hold on to your meatball and don't ever sneeze.

School Art Show Ad
LOCAL NEWPAPER ADVERTISES AN UPCOMING ART SHOW
The first thing I did was to get the sizes worked out so it would work in the newspaper. I had to rework my logo so that it was one image. I encircled the knight and placed the TD on the knight. It seems to work better as a logo for the school. After doing the logo over, I placed the logo on my sized workspace. Then I wanted a knight on a horse as my background fading out. When I was working on the horse, I resized it and placed it where I felt it would work after moving it around and around, stretching, and smashing it. The text I wanted had to have a classic look to show the time of the knight and horse. I also wanted some contrast in the text so I used a different text not so classic. Working with the text, I found that the design could change a lot with different lettering making it better. I tried centering then lettering and right alignment. I spaced out the wording so there would be space between the groups of words. Working from the beginning, with drawing and logo design repeatedly, this helped me work out all the various possible designs for the logo. I found that by modification and placing the script and the images in different arrangements helped the design of the logo and newspaper art show advertisement

Self Portrait
I started my digital self portrait by taking and looking at many pictures of myself . Which is hard to do, because I do not like pictures of me? Then I sat down and started to think about what made me…..me. You know what makes a person who or what they are? I came up with my family! I’m not me with out my family. Now I started to look for pictures of my family. As I was looking through my pictures, I came across a picture I took of a sunrise right after my mother passed away. She loved to sit and watch the sunrise. I felt that this sunrise was a way to say that life goes on in a full circle.
The first thing I did is scan the picture of the sunrise. Then I went looking for pictures of my family and I also took many pictures of them to help out. Finally I found and took some that I thought would work. I used the magic wand to help me cut and paste to put each on their own layer. Then I resized and used some filters to get the image that I wanted. Next I made a layer to put the image of me on then I lassoed and pasted. Next I took my tablet and sketched around myself and went to the other layers and did the same. I worked on all the layers trying to get the same color and feel for the picture. After a long time working on that, I used the snug and blur to get the result that I have now. You do not even see any of the sketching that I worked on what seemed forever!

The story ofThe Adventures of the Amazing Broomstick
One day Mr. A. Broomstick decided to take a vacation from his run of the mill, every day job, sweeping, He could just imagine the places he would go, the sights he would see, and the other brooms he would meet. He said goodbye to his wife and broom-child and lugged his bags out the door. He flew over the Garden of Wonders and stopped by the Merry Swing of Love. He thought about how much he loved his family and got a nearby passer by to take his picture.
Mr. Broomstick took a stroll down a path though the garden of Dying Hope, this was quite depressing, as the plants that were so lively in the Garden of Wonders were now droopy browning. He quickly took a picture and left. He continued walking down the path to a place where the plants were much healthier to the Tree of Undying Grace, the tree, much like its name, swayed in the breeze and looked quite magnificent, He leaned up against the tree and felt soothed by the swaying motion. He had a passerby take a picture and was on his way.
A large metal fence was quickly coming into Mr.Broomstick's view. He saw a large animal enclosed in the fence and felt a little sorry for it. He petted it with his broom bristles and fed it some brown Broom-o-Nuts. He saw a gold plate on its house that stated it was a vicious beast and his name was Fluffy the Tiger Beast. Interesting as this was, Mr. Broomstick took a picture and moved along.
On his way out of the garden, he found a pack lying on the ground, when he picked it up, several orange and green Broom-o-Nuts fell out. Seeing as he fed his Broom-o-Nuts to the Fluffy Beast, he was quite hungry and popped them in his mouth. He tossed the pack into the trash and walked out to a large concrete surface with little lines all over it and strange building in the middle. The deadly gases pouring out of the loud machines frightened and angered him, but he was much too small to simply sweep them away.
To his surprise, he started to grow; soon he was just as big as the metal machines so he decided to sweep them away, and after a hard sweep's work (which reminded him greatly of his job back home)he figured he had seen enough of the world. to his surpise, a citizen had taken a digital picture of the incident, but we couldn't have that could we? Mr,Broomstick whapped him on the head and stole the camera to promptly go back home to his wife and child. THE END

Photo from a digital camera
We took a picture using a digital camera of a friend and copied to photoshop we were told to crop and make a good composition . I started by cropping the picture, then I changed the cropped photo to black and white. After that I lassoed the face and hand then brightened them. Next I used the watercolor application to enhance the face and hand.
The background was lassoed in different areas and then the stained glass technique was applied in various sizes. After that I used the smudge tool to create contrast between the background and the foreground. With each lesson I'm enjoying the processes more.
Other shadow woman
This is another image that I worked on for my hero. I had a lot of fun working on the hero.

All about shadow woman
My partner and I set out to talk about the hero we wanted. She had to be humble and selfless. Always in every shadow, she is of average age and always ready to help. Our hero has all knowing powers to help others.
So next we went looking for images to help us. We wanted a shadowy background and a woman to start with. We found a lot we liked, making it hard to decide. Working with two different backgrounds and two women we cut and pasted them having to flip the woman’s images to face in the right way. After doing that we drew cloaks around the woman with the drawing tool and filled them with the paint tools. Then we took the smudge and smear tools to make it look as if she was coming out of the shadows. It took many, many, tries to get it the way that we wanted.
Finally we chose the one with the all knowing sphere in hand to make as the hero. We found it hard at times to figure out how to do something but we kept trying. We hope to finish the story of the shadow woman who does not get it right every time. Sometime she mixes things up a little.

Shadow Woman
Shadow Woman is a very reserved and humble person. As a hero, she expects and seeks to attract no praise or recognition from others. She lurks in the shadows, seeking out those she can help. In her possession is a knowing sphere that aids her in finding those in need of saving. That, along with her ability to manipulate the shadows around her to either cloak her and others or even to become a solid structure with which to manipulate her surroundings enable her to attempt feats that would not be feasible with her physical body alone. She is not physically strong, but she has a strong sense of justice that fuels her need to help those around her.

About My Hip Hero
We worked with photoshop to make this hero. This was the first time that I used this program. I need a lot more practice with it. Now we are working with a partner to create a new hero with photoshop. I hope to make improvements on the next one.
