Most Amazing Project

I am most proud, by far, of my Great Expectations essay. I would like to, however, write about my creative project for Animal Farm. I had way to much fun making this silly little, but insanely awesome video. My little sister happened to have this really big wooden barn, so we set the scene with that. All the plastic farm animals accompanied it. The only animals we were missing were the pigs. Great, they are the most important characters and they are the only ones that we don't have figurines for. We had a dilemma. Well, Jamison showed up late to the park to film, as expected, but saved the day by bringing the plastic pig in a mud bath-car. It was one of those kinds that you can push backwards and then they drive forward themselves and sing a little song. It was perfect. 


I'm sure the seriousness of our trailer might have been taken down a notch because of our mud-back cartoon pig, but I think it made the video exponentially better. The other thing that made our trailer project stand out was the music we put to it. Numa Numa is the song for truly cool people. Others might hate on it, but it is honestly inspiring to watch plastic dogs maul plastic chickens will listening to Numa Numa. But besides the pig set-back and the coolest music ever, the best part of this project by far was the scene where the animals drive the human away. Jamison hold the squeaky toy and the viewer can see my arm release my dog who attacks him. We thought we might get a better re-try so we try the scene again because the camera action wasn't so great, but none of the others turn out so good. Then we think we accidentally deleted the first one and all of our spirits fall. Gypsy, my dog, by this time has lost all interest in the toy so another retake is out of the question. The good heavens must have been smiling upon us that day because we miraculously found the first take and we were able to use it in our video. Every time I watch our trailer I start to crack up and cry at the same time. It will forever be the most amazing video to ever be shown or made on this world or the next.


This has probably been the strangest blog I have written all year, forgive me.
