This entry into our animation festival is “The Tomato Plant Tree” by Amirah and Nyasia. Here’s a word from the film makers:

“I, Amirah loved doing this project! I have worked very hard. The most INCREDIBLE thing about doing this project was being able to work together and going in Frames. Frames is the best thing that I have ever worked with! You can export things, move things anywhere how you want them to move. In Twist you can export things, draw, copy and paste and undo your drawing, and open new files. The only different thing between Frames and Twist is that in Frames you can do a transition and in Twist you can draw. The best thing about doing this animation was being able to do the best animation that I will ever make. It also can teach people how to do things or what to do when you need an idea. Thats why me and my partner Nyasia came up with this idea “The Tomato Plant Tree.” It teaches you how a plant grows. It is very helpful because you can do it at home. As you can see doing an animation is not easy. Watch my animation and see how hard we worked on it. We put transitions, backrounds, moving things, voices, and the most hard thing was dragging things into Frames from Twist. You have to export all of your drawings and then carry them into Frames. Its very hard to do this without a partner. Good thing I had one.

Mrs.Phillips my computer teacher was very instructive she went through everything very carefully making sure that we understand everything that we had to do. When we had to export things and move them each time. She told us loud and clear so that everyone can hear her but some people don’t know how to do it because some weren’t paying attention but besides that I loved doing this project for some other reasons. The one most important reason for doing this project was to get a good grade and also do a project that I will never forget and always will amaze me.
One day when I come back to this computer room and we have to do this project again I would love to do this again. Plus you need lots of research and do something that you are very interested in and that you put lots of effort into! (P.S. Mrs. Phillips is the best computer teacher that I ever had) By like two days you will be a pro in anything with a computer teacher like Mrs.Phillips.”

And from Nyasia: “Hi! my name is Nyasia. I  liked this project because it was intresting.  It took us a long time to finish it,but when we finally got done,it was a  relief!!The program “Twist” was very fun.You can use text,polygon tool,export images, and more.Another program that I used to complete the animation was Frames. On Frames you can make your animation.You can also make title cards on Frames. It was fun.Thanks to Mrs. Phillips,we got our animation done.Without her help,we couldn’t get our animation done!Mrs.Phillips deleted the scenes that we didnt need anymore,  She helped us add some cool music to our animation.She helped us edit  our lines,and she helped us voice record.I thank Mrs. Phillips alot.My partner and I worked really hard on this.Me and my partner Amirah came up with this idea called “The Tomato Plant Tree”.Thats when we started to get to work.The project actually amazed me.It was exciting too!Me and Amirah worked really really REALLY hard on this project. It was fun drawing pictures and getting to use the tools on twist.the polygon tool was really neat.Frames was even better.In Frames you can make title cards.On the Title cards you can use diffrent writings.Mrs. Phillips worked really hard with us.She helped us too.I looooved this project!Thanks Mrs. Phillips.I dont know how you come up with these great projects,but I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
