The Story

 The story is that there is a boy and a girl. As toddlers they each found a helicopter seed. The little girl planted her seed first at the neighborhood park. Then the boy finds a helicopter seed on his window seed and he decide he wants to plant it. Unknowingly, he goes to the same park the girl had gone to and he plants it in the same spot the little girl had planted her helicopter seed. The tree grows as the boy and the girl grow up. They both visit the tree as they grow up, but they never seem to come at the same time, until one day both the boy and the girl are walking to the tree at the same time. When they get to the tree they see a man with an axe and had on a shirt that said Bob’s Logging. The man was about to chop down the tree. They manage to stop the man from chopping the tree down. They finally meet and became best friends. Three years later the boy and the girl get married. You may be wondering where the fairies at the beginning fit into the story, the fairies foreshadow the meeting of the boy and the girl.

What I learned and The Obstacles 

I learned that it takes lots of work to make an animation. I also learned that a longer story with lots of characters is very challenging. Maybe next time I can make a shorter story with less characters, so that I can focused more on the details. I learned different ways to use the pin tool. I also learned how to I learned to budget my time more efficiently to meet the due date.  I had many obstacles I had to overcome, one was getting the fairies to look like they were flying as well as dancing. I also had to take out some transitions to shorten the time of my animation.The beginning of the animation was insanely slow.
