Our pixilation is about little magic tricks. We saw a video on YouTube which is about a person playing magic tricks with video editing. We saw one of the trick is a photo of kitty, when the photo got slammed onto the table, an actual kitty popped out. We took that as an inspiration to our project.
Originally, we wanted to set this story in the classroom but it is pretty impossible because we want a turtle to involve, which is my(Janelle) pet turtle. Bringing it outside and to the school are risking so we moved our story in Janelle’s bedroom.
Our final story :
Janelle is bored so she went ahead to her desk and doodle on a piece of paper. In the same time, Tan came in to see what is Janelle doing. After seeing her drawings, Tan brought out an ipad and an apple pen. She opened Procreate software to draw a black cat. She shook the cat out of the ipad, a little cat doll. Tan was proud of her magic trick. Janelle was amazed but she calmly pushed the doll away, starting to draw on her paper too. A turtle was drawn. Tan still thought her cat doll was better. In the end, Janelle showed Tan the same magic trick but it turned out to be a real turtle. Tan was completely beaten down by Janelle’s greatness of her magic.
Our setup this time is very simple. We only need a paper, an ipad, a pen, a black cat doll and an actual turtle. The only difficulty we have is that this is an one way ticket. As you can see our paper has to be destroyed in the end for the story, this is an one take only shooting.
Thanks for reading 😉 !
