Halloween

I think that Halloween is a good celebration. A night to eat as much candy as you can get from houses. Some say that Halloween is the Devil’s birthday, but I don’t believe that. In my mind Halloween is a night to dress up and decorate things to be spooky. I’ve never done Halloween but I would like to.

  After watching a movie about Halloween. I knew heaps more about Halloween. Samhain was a festival to represent the good harvest that they had. It was also a time where the days got shorter and the nights got longer which was a really spooky thing.  

 

A day called Laumoria was when people poured roman milk onto graves. The church wanted to take the pagan things out of Laumoria so they named it all saints day. From being a big success the church moved the date from May 13th to November 1st to shadow the Pagan festival Samhain which was on October 31st. This made things more interesting then people started calling samhain all Hallows eve.

  

The trick or treating idea sought of come from the Church. They stated that some souls were in purgatory which wasn’t hell or heaven but still was a very bad place. Church told everyone that if you pray for that soul enough times they will get out of purgatory. Kids went around asking for soul cakes for exchange for their prayers.

DLO about Michael Jordan

W,K,S DLO from Team 5 PES on Vimeo.

   The purpose of our DLO was to show the awesomeness of Michael Jordan. We were trying to achieve the maximum potential with a movie about  Michael Jordan when he did the free throw line dunk in a slam dunk competition.

   The positives was we finished our DLO, did a animation of MJ doing a slam dunk and Waata having a clear voice of doing the voiceover. One positive was that we really united when we had to finish the animation. We were proud of our DLO but we think we could’ve done better.

   There were quiet a few things that we needed to work on to improve our movie. What let us down was that we didn’t have enough details in our animation, it was a too slow, had different size people and last but not least we would’ve made it better by talking a bit more about the actual event which was about Michael Jordan.

We had some interesting things with our DLO that we were happy about. The interesting thing  was we showed the awards that he achieved in the sport of basketball. Another thing was that we had a mixture of animation, images and a video clip of Michael Jordan doing a free throw line dunk.

Rainbow Warrior Bombing

 One night In 1985 the people on the Rainbow Warrior were having a party. This was one of their last celebrations before they headed up to Mururoa in French Polynesia to protest against France's nuclear testing. As they partied not far away in Mechanics Bay some people noticed some suspicious activity. Two men set off in a zodiac wearing scuba gear which was weird for that time of night.  

  French Spies were ordered by their government to blow up the Rainbow Warrior so that no one could protest against their Nuclear testing. The French spies came on a plane claiming to be Swiss honeymooners, P.E teachers and anti-nuclear activists. Four french spies came on a boat hiding 25 kgs of explosives in its hull.

  In French Polynesia, France were doing nuclear weapon testing in Tahiti and New Caledonia. With the new law of New Zealand being Nuclear free, lots of kiwi’s were keen to protest against Nuclear testing.
