Mini Project #1: Kinetic Text


     For this week's mini project, I chose to do a kinetic text project since Lacy's looked pretty cool, and I thought it would be fun to make an animation.  I've done animations in power point projects before, so I thought it would be easy.  Turns out it actually takes a long time to do this.  It took a ton of trial and error to get the letters and words to do what you want them to do.  It was a very tedious process and it took a lot of critical thinking and planning.  It took me hours and hours and hours to do this.  I'm doing my inquiry project on the ideas of college readiness and success, and I am going to go deeper into thought looking at the opinions of others.  I've been researching and taking into to consideration other people's ideas around the concept of "being ready for college."  As I indicated at the end of my kinetic text presentation, I believe it depends on the individual.  Every single person has a story and nobody's is the same.  I really hope you guys enjoy watching my newly made kinetic text video! I apologize in advance...on blogger the video is slowed down and kind of a little blurry.  I look forward to seeing you guys in class after Easter!

  1. This is really cool. I don't understand how people do this...I'm not very technologically advanced. This reminded me a lot of Lacy's. Anyways, I thought your message was really great and I completely agree with you. We can't be fitted into the same category. We'll go down different roads, they may take us to similar destinations.

  2. This would take me forever to do but it's awesome. I definitely agree that no two people have the same story. Neat!

  3. Your project is very cool. It looks like you put a lot of time and effort into it. I was going to do a kinetic text, but i dont have the time in my schedule to work on that. Yours looks awesome though
