May Project

Im going to do a go animate story and going to tell a story through animation. Im thinking about doing a story about a vacation trip that somebody goes on or maybe a sports story. Im not really sure yet but im excited to see how my story turns out and see what potential it has. Im leaning in the vacation trip side since i just created a children's story in the sports area but im not totally sure what i want to do now. I know for a fact that i will be creating the story through go animate so i might just mess around on there and see if anything comes to mind.

Collaborative Writing Thoughts

I thought this writing assignment was a good assignment because we got to write about what we wanted and got to work with group members to create a story. This was all good but when i read other peoples stories it seemed that these stories were kind of cheesy so i was thinking did our story seem cheesy to other people too. It was all kind of weird because clearly you could tell that the story was made up but the thing was i never read stories that are that obvious. I wasnt really pulled into any of the stories because of the fact that they were just different and i really didnt like any of the stories really. There were some stories that dragged me in a bit but then the story would get off topic when it switched writers and it just was like i was reading one story and now im reading a complete different story inside a story. This assignment was good to see what it was like but i feel we all need a little more practice on writing these because they just didnt turn out as well as we planned to.
