Music Video Finale


Hows its going bros my name is Kalani just Kalani, but I bet you guys was thinking I was going to say Pewdiepie but No. For the rest of the school year my team (Lester, Raghav, and Me), are going to be making a music video by Chainsmoker called Let You Go. So our storyline involves three friends that are losing on off them, so it's Raghav, Lester, and me and we are losing Raghav and we actually are losing him he is moving in real life. How that pertains to the song, is it is about losing someone and we are losing Raghav.

Now i'm going to talk about my favorite fast-edit montage sequence. This sequence includes us having fun with the hole group including Lester, Raghav, and me. On of the shots are Lester, Raghav, and me are going to look at a movie #CivilWar (that was the best Captain America movie ever). Another shot is us playing the drums and Lester dancing (badly) that was a hard one to do because Lester wouldn't stop "dancing". The next shot has us trowing a ball around (but it's green screened so its not that go of quality).



My teacher Mr. Sandrel made us make this project the best project that showcase the best work we will do this year. How this will showcase the best work we will do this year is we are going to incorporate all of the things we learned this and the other years. Now Kalani how are you going to do that, well my team and I are going to add special effects like slow-motion, and black and white. One more way is we all are going to make a poster and put it in the video mine one is the best in my opinion. Lastly we are going to add a really sad but cool story at the same time.

.MOV Film Festival


Hello people of the internet I'm Kalani, just like how it says up there. Today I'm going to be talking about my most recent project but before I do that I need to explain my project, Pidgin, Slang, Exaggeration, Learning. They are the 4 key words of our project. Now i'm going to tell you how these key words will connect to you people. First & second & third pidgin,slang, and exaggeration, if your born on the Hawaiian Islands you will end up speaking pidgin (it a type of slang the we speak) but of course we exaggerate how we talk to make it funny and more engaging to you guys. And the last one is learning, once in your life time you will learn something (I hope) whether good or bad.

Now i'm going to tell you the overall message and why you should care. First our overall message is just be your self if other people are doing something and you feel like you should do that to just don't because your not being yourself and if you be your self you are cool (I would put a happy face with a thumbs up but I can't). Now why should you care, you guys should care because being yourself is cool. And also not being your self can kill you because some people try smoking because everybody else is doing it and you can die from smoking. so to recap overall message if be your self and don't let yourself  kill you.

Now Kalani after all that hard work you must of have at least one challenging part about this well no we had 2. The first one is that we had a hard time finding other people to be in this video. Like in this video the people you see in here are random people and they said yes some people did turn us down but that's not the point wait yes it is. The second one is the day we filmed at the beach it was really windy like really really windy. For example we had trouble getting good audio for that shot because it sounded like if you was putting up a paper by a fan but more loud.



Tiny Spherical Worlds


Hey how are you guys doing, today I will be talking about polar & spherical panos and composite images, and why it matters. First composite images they are like cooler versions of regular photos. The reason these photo exist is so you can share your creativity.One more reason why they exist is because they want to make there photo look more complex. Last reason is because they just want to be original.

 Now polar & spherical panos and how they are way different from each other. Lets start of with polar, polar is like your own little world you made so the ground is were its always is. While on the other hand spherical panos are like the total opposite. Spherical panos have the sun on the inside and the ground on the outside.

 Now how these so called "worlds'' should look like worlds right, well if you do it right. Now i'm going to be talking about how you will make it convincing and why. Well when you do all the other step that you are going to have to do you can fix the world with the stamp tool because when you combine the pictures there is a line in the middle of the world. When your done with that you can put a pic of you on top and make a shadow so it looks like you are actually there. Once you got that done you got your own convincing

2016 Aspirations


3, 2, 1, Happy New Years speaking about that i'm going to be talking about my goals and how im going to reach them. My first goal is to try to win the next bowling tournament i'm going to, yes I bowl I like to bowl. My second goal is to get good grades in my classes i'm struggling in. One way I will achieve this goal is ask my teacher for extra work to do after I finish the work I didn't finish. Third goal is to do a go animation in Stykz, one way I can do that is just keep on practicing. Forth goal is to bowl a 270 game in Kauai Jr Bowling, just practice. And fifth goal is a great last year in middle school because I'm a 8th grader so its mt last year, the way I'm going to do that is just do all my work so I can have fun with my friends.



The goal that most important to me is the Bowling one because my family is a bowling family we all love to bowl. Also my family thinks I really have good potential in my bowling and I don't want to let down my family. Also if I do win that would be my first time winning.




Now i'm going to explain how I'm going to ensure success. First step I'm going to need to practice more and just try really hard. Second step is look at the lanes to see if its dry oily or just right because that how I know were to trow. Third step is be more open minded to the couches because there just trying to help. And the last step is be focused and don't get destructed to much.

Character Development




Hi guys today I'm going to be talking about myself, you guys must be like I don't care I wan't to learn but you are learning. Your learning about me now back to my topic yes I'm going to be talking about myself and what kind of person I am and also what humorous or relatable imperfections I have. Lets start with what kind of person I am, I am a silly playing around kind of person also I am a weird person. I'm a gamer if you have a Xbox my gamertag is ForeverYoung567(Friend me plz). I am a bowler, i'm actually going to a bowling mothers day thing on Sunday so happy early Mothers Day. Time to talk about my imperfections, I'm not really got at keeping up my grades.

My character traits are the problem solver, and also the person how can get under another persons skin. The way we plan to exaggerate my character is the problem solving part of me is like a judge we might even settle this problem in court. And the person how can get under another persons skin version of me is going to be apart of the judge part too.The way we are going to do the person how can get under another persons skin is I  will make them both fell like its there flouts for judging each other. This is coming out late so you guys or girls can look at the video already.

Now i'm going to tell you how to make your sprite ( your character ). First you need to take a picture of what you wan't to animate, then you open Photoshop and use the tool that look like the brush one but with a circle line dot thing. Then you select your body and press refine edge (if the white covers your body you did it wrong and you have to do the opposite of what you did) then you press enter ctrl c and make a new layer and ctrl v. The next step is to turn off the other layer with the background that's not white because if you want to you can put a different back ground. The second to the last step is to go up to the thing that says photo and click on that then click on animation. The last step is to make your archer points which should be were every joint is then IT'S TIME TO START ANIMATING!!!!!!

Animated Life Lessons



Hey guys it Kalani how are you guys doing,Today I'm going to be talking about my new
project about animation. So our projects name is Lani loses friend, which bring me into the
next topic my teammates. My teammates names are Lani,Tim and Me you can check out
there blog on the links on the side. I never worked with there people and let me tell you it
was interesting Lani was the boss of the project see made sure we got stuff done and she
got her stuff done, Tim and me was just the helpers in this hole project. Lani was in charged
of editing and getting here scene done she was the hard worker of the hole project. In our
project Lani was a friend of tim and she get to clingy and he says he dose not want to be
friend anymore so she comes to me to help them you will figure out what happens at the
end if you look at the video below.

The humor in this story is that Lani is way to clingy so Tim dose not want to be friends with her. After that she try's to be friend with him on more time and tim says now so she comes to me for help. They become friend and bla bla bla and then the funny part in my opinion is at the vary end were you have to watch it to find out. How dis relates to you guys is you might get one clingy friend in you life and this tells you how to handle you "problem". I now I said this about 2 times but now three go look at our vid plz.

Me and my teammates never worked together so it was pretty interesting, so i'm going to be about ups and downs about this team. First the ups, we got stuff done and made a somewhat good animation. Also we got things done way faster if I was with Raghav and Lester so thats good. The downs is that tim and I did not as much work as Lani do. I can imagine you guys saying what was your favorite well my favorite part was making the voice overs. Because we all had a good laugh when we messed up.

Hockney Style Joiners

Hello people im doing something I did on my old blog its called Photomontage. Photomontage is from the artist David Hockney creation and I'm telling you what is the diffrent from my photomontage and his. First of all his has a lot of complexity, like his has movement. Mine on the other hand is not complex its plane, not as interesting as his. One more thing is that his has way more meaningful mine is not that meaningful as him.

But my image can have positive or negative messages. For one example the doorknob one put a positive message because doorknobs are like the open opportunity for life, yea that just deep I don't know why. But for
