The Work of an Animator.

All around you, you see events based on the hard work of past generations who pushed the norm. But even though you recognized the main figure of an idea, you don't notice the people behind them. They could be the voice of a generation without you even knowing it. These "Voices of a Generation" is what my class, Journalism, had studied about. In the class, students learned the uses of audio through a technical standpoint and a narrative standpoint when creating a piece of art. Students also learned about the importance of journalism and its impact, such as spreading new ideas. The class also had a professional audio engineer in the last week to help students with projects.

For a final project, students had to create a narrative about a "voice of a generation" based on the Ira Glass’ storytelling requirements. I choose John Hubley, an animator who help found the UPA and pushed from more diverse animation. The difficulty was writing the podcast without being bio of the "voice of a generation" and the pleasure was seeing the perspective of peers and what they believe this person represented.
