Sand Amination

Last month, a very interesting activity was held for us, Art Club members. It was 'Sand Animation'. There were four sessions in total. Most of the Art Club members paricipated in this activity, however it was a sad thing that the secondary 4 students were not allowed to participate as they were going to have their 'O'level' examinations. During the first session, there were two proffessional instructors to teach us the basics of sand animation and explain to us what it is all about. Then we were separated into several groups with the usual format of having at least two different level of students in the group. Next we proceeded to explore with the sand. My group consisted of a secondary 2 student and two of my friends, HL and Tiff. On the second session, we were given a task to do. We had to create a scene with the sand using the sand animation techniques that were taught to us. On the third session, we were asked to record the scene that we did one group by one group. While waiting for our turn, HL, Tiff and I played a game called '' Ants attack'' with another of our friend, JH, from another group. We laughed continuously and played happily. HL, JH and I teamed up and attacked Tiff's sand boundary. On the last session, we were taught how to edit the video of the scene we had done, along with the other scenes from the other groups to form a complete video. It was truly a one in a lifetime experience for me. During the four weeks, I had enjoyed myself greatly and learnt lots and lots of new things. I will never forget this experience that I had.
