REBBY: I'm Rebby. I worked on the drawings for the desk,
the entire office, the snow globe and the radio.
I was with the president doing some recording and I edited his recording.
And also did some music stuff that went along with it.
DANA: Hi. I'm Dana and I'm working on creating the decorations for the office in the card.
Here is a wreath that I made.
And I also have some snowflakes, some candles,
and just a bunch of random decorations.
CHEYENNE: I made the credits for the holiday card.
I'm designing the individual characters for all of our classmates.
What will happen is that they are going to appear one at a time in the credits,
so everyone gets credit for what they've done.
REBBY: It's actually a lot of fun working with other people, because everybody has
their own sort of area of expertise.
Everybody has been working very hard at doing their own thing.
And seeing it all come together in the end is really great.
MATT: My name's Matt. I designed the actual holiday card that'll be in the project.
It'll be in the president's office. It'll be throughout the whole thing.
It's kind of basic, but it needs to be manipulated and opened up. The credits will roll through it.
Besides that I did some of the intro shots in the beginning through the school.
EMILY: Hi. My name is Emily. I'm working on the interactivity of the holiday card.
At the end scene we have a desk and the person can
play around with the snow globe. They can click the radio on and off
to go through different sounds and eventually hear our president's voice through that.
And that'll end it.
Not only does it snow inside the snow globe, the snow outside also changes.
By default it's this nice little gentle falling motion,
but when I shake the snow globe,
the snow outside falls much more rapidly. And you can see all the snow in the snow globe also
jumping around in there and falling.
LEVI: Hi. I'm Levi and I'm the animator for the intro of the card.
What I'm doing is taking all the rotoscoped images,
which are camera shot images that have been traced over.
And I'm animating a sequence of us zooming out through the school into the president's office.
KARA: Hi. I'm Kara. For this project I rotoscoped the fire.
What I did was I took
a video of fire and I converted it into images and I made it into an animation.
REBBY: I guess a lot went into this card.
I sort of had the impression it was gonna be over really quickly.
I remember Mark asking, "When are we going to have this done?"
I'm like, just a couple hours. We'll be fine. It'll be done in no time. It should be done by the end of today.
And then there was always one more thing that we realized we had to do:
like the spash page, the main menu and the preloader and making everything
come together properly. Because we all had these separate parts
and then we had to figure out how to put them together.
RICKY AND PETER: Hi, I'm Ricky Nicholson and this is...I'm Peter.
RICKY: We've done a couple of things together. We've done the main screen.
We're working on that currently.
We've both worked on some separate things also.
I've worked on creating some sparkle effects for different parts of the scenes.
And I've done some small amount of coding. What have you done?
PETER: I did the script for the president's message
and I did some of the photography of the school for the rotoscoping.
JOEL: Hi. My name is Joel Newman and for the holiday card I found a couple of songs,
good songs that are politically correct.
I also helped rotoscope the intro animation.
CHRIS: My name is Chris Pitcher. I'm working on the holiday card and
what I've done in the holiday card is work on an Easter egg,
which is a hidden surprise in the project or the card that we are doing.
I'm doing Slash, which is an American guitarist.
People don't believe he is real,
but he is real.
I also worked on some coding; more Emily just teaching me how to code.
I worked on some of the snow in the card as well.
