CLARISSA

THE GIRL WITH THE TICKET

There was, one day, a certain girl named Clarissa. Her friends called her Claire, but that's unimportant; we are not friends. Anyway, Clarissa spend a lot of time thinking about ways to become famous since she had a crazy obsession for teen actor Taylor Lautner. She had the hope that if she was famous, she would star on a movie with him and they'd fall into a passionate and fierce love relationship. So when she made up her mind that Taylor was her destiny, she brainstormed ways to get famous.

The most obvious would've been to audition for a movie or a TV show. Clarissa was really considering that option and even joined the school play. However, after seeing a Hilary Duff interview Clarissa realized that the chances of getting cast, or even a callback, were extremely slim. More brainstorming... and finally, she got it!

Everyone who had power had the ability to get anything. "Power? Power equals money," she thought. To get money she could: a) Sell and Industrialize a product, b) Steal and Sell Valuable stuff, or c) Win Money. Clarissa crossed out "a": too much work! She also denied "b", since it involved illegal acts. That left her "c". The funnest of 'em all! Who would give money for a price. Why, the Lottery would. Clarissa laughed evilly to herself as she got her plan straight.

The very next day Clarissa was on the doorsteps of Velma's victorian house. Velma, a gypsy fortune teller, was a beautiful dark lady. She wore a long, beaded skirt and a silk blouse that had embroidery with golden threads. Her pale green eyes would hypnotize anyone in a matter of seconds; most men enjoyed that. However, Clarissa was not here for fashion advice, or to get a glimpse of Taylor's real life. She wanted to know the number of the $50 million dollar winning lottery ticket. After much pleading, Velma revealed the top secret to Clarissa. However, she warned about possible misfortune and charged twenty dollars.

Clarissa didn't pay attention to the world, she was waiting for the revealing time to come. Was Velma right? YES! SHE WAS! But when Clarissa went to claim the money the ticket was lost. Of course, she wasn't able to proove her purchase and was therefore not given a single cent. Since she was so nasty, instead of crying, or fighting for her rights she gave up. That easily and after all she had done she just walked away.

The next day, she came in to school and decided her new life. She would dedicate it to something much more amusing, and that is to torture and make my life impossible. To mock me. That's why we're not friends.
What Clarissa doesn't know is that I am Tayl0r Lautner's cousin. :)

Ro-two-ball... and blogger thought

This is my SECOND post about the rotoball, because Mistermark messed up. Sorry people, but this IS a copy-paste of my last blog. Sigh...
Anyway thanks to him I actually have this blog which is cool, in a way, because I'm going to keep it forever. I will always be able to look back on this blog, probably like "Julie & Julia" although this one is not very personal. I might make a personal one though, hmm.. good idea. Well, I'll keep you posted. Meanwhile here's my roto-thought:

Well, for me, making this video was a piece of cake. It was very easy to
figure out what to do and how. However everything was based in delicately
tracing the person's outline which eventually resulted in arduous work. I
have proved myself to be useful when animating a movie and I am honestly
proud of that. I know that this project was meant to be easy and long: it
was. I just hope that we, as a class, and as respectful students, never
forget the basic functions of flash. I f I were to make this project
different I would constantly change the background and I would use better
and more modern computers and programs to do so, that way we would not have
to do such horrible work.

Now, you may not know what I am referring to so here's the URL for the website in which the video is (guess which part is mine!):

Thanks for watching/reading this!

Rotoball Review

Well, I think that this video is great and It is honestly better than what I tought it would be. I actually didn't know that this video was going to have ALL of our videos mended together but now that I've seen it it looks amazing. However, I believe that some backgrounds look exactly like the person's outline at times so the backgrounds should be changed. I loved it in gereal, though.
