Superhero Task

The superhero project was really fun. We were put into partners and we had to build our own superhero out of Plasticine. My partner, Michaela, and I built a horse. His name was Starflight. he was grey, with a black mane and tail. We put wire in his legs to make him able to move them, and wire in his head and neck, so that he can move his head up and down and stretch his neck out. 

Once we had built him, we filmed him and other characters we had made (out of different substances) using an app called ' Can Animate'. Since he is not a live creature, we had to take a picture, move the characters slightly, take another picture, and so on. They had to be moved very slightly, otherwise it looked like they had teleported.  

Once we had completed the filming, we moved on to 'Green screen'. I think that green screen was the easiest part. All we had to do was find a picture that we wanted to use as our background, put our video into green screen, and insert the picture. 

Once that was finished, we added our voice-over. A voice-over is when you record yourself saying something, then add it to a video. We had to make sure that it looked like the the characters were speaking, not us.
