Our Animation Story

For our animation project, our focus statement is Keegan Bakes Perfection. We chose those words to represent our story because our main focus is how Keegan's doubt is stopping her from accomplishing things, like baking for example. In our story, Keegan wants to be a good friend and bake cupcakes for her friend's birthday party, but she quickly comes face to face with failure. But with practice, patience, and perseverance Keegan overcomes the challenge, and successfully finishes the task.  The cupcakes are meant to represent people's lives, as in we need to make mistakes in order to accomplish great things and power through and defeat any other challenges that lie ahead of us.

The lesson our audience will learn from our story is that failure isn't always a bad thing... failure can have absolute great outcomes sometimes. But success will only come if you are patient, positive, and persevere through the challenge. We show this lesson by showing Keegan having trouble and doubtfulness in her abilities to be successful. Instead of giving up, she decides to try one last time and overcomes the challenge.

Here's Keegan animating a scene

Over-all, I think my teammates and I worked great together! One of our best moments (I believe) was when we were taking photos for a scene where Haley is overwhelmed with joy that Keegan baked cupcakes for her birthday. For this scene, Haley was to kind of jump on or push over Keegan in excitement. Another funny and good time was when Haley and Keegan were filming a voice-over, and made the funniest sounds! One of our worst times was probably when we had to turn in our two scene teaser. As in, we had a difficult time meeting the minimum time requirement and did not include voice-overs. But we soon got to work and completed all that was required.
