Final Reflection
http://sites.google.com/site/jeffgreenseportfolio/Home
Developing my eportfolio helped me take a look back at my projects and reflect upon the process of my learning in this course. I organized my ePortfolio by links, multimedia, designs and more info because it seems to be the most open for ever growing expansion. I consider creativity to be one of the strengths of my work because with most of the tools we used anyone can make a product however with some creativity you can make it your own. If I had time, I might add more of my flash animations to the site by uploading them into youtube and then embedding them into my eportfolio.
I found to be the most effective technique in creating my projects to be the FATP. The simple process that seemed so trivial to me at first has become a very handy tool to help me get my thoughts organized before getting started on anything. This is something I will at least consider if not write down on my future work.
The most difficult challenge in my ePortfolio was giving it a clear layout that wasn't too busy and had a color scheme that was easy to read. I overcame this challenge by trial and error seeing how different colors looked and stood out against my background as you can see in my multimedia page which is clear, concise and easy to read.
In fact, the major differences between this version and the draft are the color scheme and the new content.

Video Reflection
I had a lot of fun on this project. I got to play with iMovie in ways I never have before the mixture of the photos and videos combined with the sounds and voiceover makes for an interesting result. It was a great way to get the creative juices flowing.
video pitch
An epic story about two ninja warrior forced to go through time no bigger than the end of a spoon. This is the tale of the journey they took to regain their true form.
Story/Script
Ninja Script
One dark day in the land of Ajnin, two of the greatest ninjas accidentally killed the Demon Gato’s beloved brother Neko while practicing their sweet ninja moves. Being a demon, Gato felt he had no choice but to seek revenge on these two ninjas. He decided to exact his revenge in the form of a curse, and what better curse than to shrink the ninjas, thus making their shuriken and katana useless against anything but a blade of grass?
With an evil laugh, he swirled around the ninjas and set the curse. He declared, “From this day forth you shall be nothing but useless little Mininins. Gone are your days of true ninja lifestyle! Now you shall fight nothing bigger than an ant, with a sword no bigger than the tine of a fork. And to think you dared to underestimate the force of the Demon Gato!”
The Mininins, however, are true ninjas who knew better than to accept their fate at face value. With their tiny swords at hand, they set off to find the way to end the curse. They knew they would have to travel a great distance to overcome their conflict with the Demon Gato. In order to find the best way to go about their journey, they sought counsel with the wise sage gnome. He advised that they would need to go on an epic journey to show the Demon Gato that they truly were sorry for Neko’s untimely death. Perhaps then the Demon Gato would lift the curse.
The first terrain they faced was the great jungle.
The second terrain they faced was the barren stone desert, where they once again faced the Demon Gato.
The third terrain they faced was the sand desert.
At long last, they arrived at their last challenging terrain: the great ocean. Fortunately for these two Mininins, they were able to fashion just the right sailboat out of discarded materials. As they say, one man’s trash is a Mininin’s treasure.
They sailed for days and days. Finally, they were able to demonstrate to the Demon Gato that they had paid penance, and they won him over. After a final ride on his back across the final treacherous terrain, the Mininins reached home, the curse was lifted, and they were restored to their final size.
