This is our video about ancient China and its written language. This is a common craft/ chalkboard animation. I’m proud of the structure of the whole video. I’m not proud of the timing with the voiceover.

One Day Introductory Post
My name is Maggie Li, and my One Day activity is Making Beats. In this one day activity we make original music. At first, I want to make a song, but songwriting is too complicated to me, so I made it a theme song, as if it is a song in a video game. The song has 2 parts; A and B. Part A is the part of the piano music and the eerie, but glorious battle music. Part B is the creepy insect and the elaborate synthesizer part. Part 3 is Part A remixed and mashed up together to make an end. I’m most proud of part A, but I think part B could be better.
