alexlam24O_O I'm 5" 10 3/4. And you're 14... You must be a tank (not as in fat, but as in I'm a wrestler rawr)
Speedster7LOL I know what a tank is dude!
And well I can play alright but I'm not built that big, so since I'm the tall lanky kid, they stick me centre, right under the basket. I hate it there, when you have 16 year olds who are defending you by slapping the ball out of your hands.
And we play this rule sometimes in training where you can only shoot inside the key (right under the basket) and I never do that, so I'm I known as 'outside the key dude' and everyone goes mad at me, even if it's like a one time mistake, you get slaughtered by the year 11's
I'm starting to rethink my decision of taking TV & Film Production for the year. While I like the concept of editing videos and being behind the camera, it's...not quite what I expected, you could say. We use Final Cut Pro on iMacs for editing, but the software is just so complex and hard to figure out. I was barely able to be productive in the 1 hour class period today because I spent the better half of it figuring out how to get the Chromakeyer to work right and actually Chromakey the photos for the video, and I still can't figure out where to modify the picture's motion across the screen in the Chromakeyer, which is basically preventing my project from progressing. Luckily, the teacher throws a couple projects at us at a time, so I don't have to work on that one yet. But yet I do, because the other project is a news story, and I'm still waiting to get access to the green screen for 5 minutes to film my story. So basically, thanks to Final Cut Pro being too advanced for me, I'm barely getting anything done at the moment, and that sucks. Gah.
DoogThat was a rant I posted about a month ago about Chromakeying in TV & Film Production. Chromakeying is the process of removing the background from a picture; it works best with pictures with solid white backgrounds. It's what you use when you're working with green screens.
Since then, we've had a project where we were tasked with creating a 45 second story using only chromakeyed objects, sound effects, and backgrounds. The objects had to incorporate some sort of motion. I put together a story of a man who decides to steal a blue Mini, and runs from the cops though busy streets, where he eventually finds himself careening off a cliff and into a police helicopter, where he's ejected from the car, flies through a giant donut, and collides with an oil tanker in New York City, which is met with a large explosion. About a week or so after we finish a project, the teacher will dedicate a class period to just viewing everyone's projects. Despite my initial fears, mine turned out to be quite good compared to most of the others (though one kid did a really nice story about the Delorean from Back to the Future), and I'm hoping that'll secure an A for the quarter.
Also, I hear we're having a Homecoming Assembly on Friday. What's a Homecoming Assembly?
Pep rally. Try YouTube to search for a good example. "Highschool Pep Rally"

"So Beowulf was one of the first great epics. And there was Gilgamesh, and the Iliad, and they had one in Germany... the name escapes me..."
"Mein Kampf?"
"No, not Mein Kampf you idiot!"

Well the most annoying kid in school now sits behind me in biology. Lord help me
Yesterday in Life Skills was pretty dull. We were learning about politics again.
Am I the only one whose interested in subjects which are considered 'dull', I like History, Economics, and languages (yes, I did take French and Spanish for GCSE).![]()
