Class Discussion 8/30/11

Last class we talk about what a capstone is, and then we sort of discussed a successful capstone.  I'm not sure I understood the whole conversation of playing to our strengths.  The question was asked (something along the lines of), is playing to your strengths playing it safe?  Capstones is somewhat of an accumulations of the things we've learned in our high school career.  Perhaps its a bit difficult to shove everything we learned into into one project, and for the most part people will narrow down their projects so that it plays to their strengths and interests as well as showing what they've learned.  But I don't think it means I'm playing it safe.  My project is a comic.  Wrote one once in middle school, totally ripped off the plot from "Sailor Moon." Don't judge me... LOL  In any case it wasn't that great of comic.  It was more or less something between friends.  My strength lies in my art and my love for story telling, but I gotta tell ya, from what I've learned from Powers about the art of comic book story telling, I find myself very intimidated by project.  Not mention that my animation skills are a little bellow average.  Telling a story via comics is a bit different from telling a story via animation, and I am doing both. Though they seem similar.  I think I've already dug myself into a hole well before I've started.
