an unforgettable experience for me

Hi,

I am Monisha from CHRISTEL HOUSE INDIA studying in grade 7.I had worked in the Adobe Youth Voices team with the other members and I want to share my experience. I come from a poor family.  I live with my mother brother and my granny.  My father passed away in an accident when I was four years old. My mother and my granny are the ones who work for us. My brother and I study at CHRISTEL HOUSE. I feel lucky and proud to say that I have got such a good school and teachers.

I have been a part of Adobe Youth Voices project this year. It has been a great experience for me. I had lots of fun with all the members in AYV team. I learnt a lot while shooting.  I have shot some of the visuals myself using the camera. I have learnt a lot about cameras and photography. And I have also learnt many things which I had never known about AYV. I am very thankful to AYV Educators , and other teachers who have given me such an opportunity to work with the AYV team. I am very grateful to Christel ma’am for all that she has done for me.

I have worked on two projects in Adobe. One is on water music Video project and the other one is on photo essay of Bangalore city. I had lots of fun while working on water project and learnt a lesson that we shouldn’t waste water. My teachers took me and the other three AYV members out to M.G Road, Russell market, Mayo hall and many places for photo essay and we had lots of fun. We took lot of photos of these places. It has been an unforgettable experience for me.

Bangalore city Old Versus new

We are doing a photo essay showing Bangalore city 2-3 decades ago and also photo showing the city as it is now. We hope to study the effects of modern development and growth.
Bangalore which was called a pensioners paradise has lost that old charm, with many national and multinational companies establishing their headquarters here, Bangalore has seen fast growth.
The city has extended well beyond the old city limits with a tremendous growth in population.

Music Video

There is music everywhere in the natural world, but this melody often goes unnoticed. The notes intersperse to form the melody of the earth. Without water no life would be possible, from streams to oceans water is an important part of nature’s melody. With this precious gift in mind the students of Christel House India have created a Music video.

challenging experience

 Hi,

I am Sushma from grade 10th Studying in Christel House India, Bangalore. This is my first experience in stopmotion animation.

At first, we listed out ten topics and choose one topic, in those ten topics our topic was on ‘stray dogs’. We choose that topic because it was a debatable one, and it is the most important nuisance happening in Bangalore city now. The most difficult part of our project was drawing the characters based on our story and we had to make them as puppets. Even, we had to cut the pictures correctly in the desired shape and size and colour them properly because when there’s a small mistake also it will be seen big in the bigger screen and even light should be sufficient for taking the photographs. It was a challenging experience for me in doing this animation

       
There is no solution for these stray dogs nuisance yet, but we our putting on a question to the audience at last to get a proper solution for this problem and also we are bringing the awareness of the stray dogs.

        This project made all our team members to become more creative and thoughtful. It was the most enjoyable experience and we learn a lot in doing this stop-motion animation. This animation is totally different from software (Flash) animation.

        I hope this project will create a good awareness and will be a good message to all.

very new and different

Dear AYV Team,

We choose this film as it speaks about peace and knowledge. These two things are very important for our day to day life. They are the two aspects which maintain a balance in our society.

First we started with the storyboard. This is our school prayer and we have been reciting it for many years so we wanted to visualize this prayer and show it to others. This was my first visual poem so I found it a bit difficult because we had to follow the lyrics of the poem and place pictures accordingly.

We visited different places to take shots. This was a very peaceful place. The shots which we took from this place were suitable for our visual poem. Shooting required a lot of time. The editing was very difficult because we had a lot to choose from. We had to see that each line had a related picture. Managing time was another problem as we had to attend our regular classes and work on our project.

I got a chance to learn something which was very new and different, that is "Green Screen Effect". With the green background for an object we can replace it with any other kind of background. This was my favorites and i enjoyed it a lot.

This project has been a good learning process.
