Plasma Sabers in Star Fred

Top of the morning everyone!

Star Fred finally has a cover, to most people they probably think this is easy, but this was actually hard to do. I don't have photo shop, so this is all green-screen and Microsoft Paint. I think the Light saber effects were easier than that cover, and that wasn't very fun to do either, but I'll talk some more on that later. 

College has been some what hard. In High School if I forget my focus pill it would be no big deal, I would go to school and in most cases I would have a better day and feel happier. But now, if I can't write my 3 paragraph essay on a very boring story in 50 minutes, then I'm in trouble, and that can add to my anxiety, which can make things worse. Also I have a hard enough time listening to my English teacher as is, but with out a pill its 5 sentences and I'm lost. Art is fun though, I'm already done drawing my skull and it's in ink. Oh and my 47 Year old friend I met, I found out so much about him. He was in the Navy and worked in the Nuclear Submarine USS Ohio. Plus early before he got to school he had to break in to a car and made it to class on time. There are some interesting people in college, its a lot of fun.

A couple of days ago my friend Freddie and I got into a little argument. Freddie and I agree now he over reacted but this was still a good story. I was just joking around with him and he got so angry at me that he wanted to leave. My friend Brendan went outside to talk him in to staying, and I was thinking if he comes in I shouldn't have to apologize. He did over react but I remembered something. I have been watching a show called Sailor Moon, and at the end of every episode there was a lesson to learn, and I remembered Sailor Moon said sometimes friends don't get along and when you upset your friends sometimes you should just say your sorry. And this made me rethink what I would say. So when Brendan and Freddie walked back in they were ready for a fight to get my apology. but instead, they heard last thing that they thought I was going to say. I told them what Sailor Moon taught me and that I was sorry. After words we all sat down and played Gears of War 3 and ripped each others arms of in multiplayer mode. It was the fastest argument ever, it all happened in about 5 minutes flat.  Remember kids 90's cartoons are good for you, oh and you should say your sorry when you hurt someones feelings, even if they over reacted. 

Now the big news in Star Fred!

This week we found a relatively easy way to make light saber effects. before we were just going to fight with sticks and call it good. But now with the green-screen, the beam follows the colored blade were ever it goes. Some people said that the effect looked 2-D but it is 3-D, it's just a little hard to tell by my swings. here's the concept of that effect at work.

 Now I just got to learn a new software and then Part 2 can begin. were almost ready i'm so excited. Hopefully the next Blog will have news of a new software.

Til then, see you later and may the force be with you!
