Introduction




Hello everyone! My name is Cassie VanDeWalle. My Concentration is Graphic Design and my minor is Japanese. I don't really have much talent with video editing, back in High School I use to make music videos with Anime clips until the family computer crashed. I used windows movie maker and another program I can't remember the name of. That is the extent of my knowledge with video editing. But hey, I had a lot of fun with it.

I chose this picture because I adore animals. That's my dog, he is 15 years old. His name is Piki. There is a funny story behind his name and it goes a little like this..............

-- Once upon a time there was a little blonde girl who had a love of fluffy critters. One day she begged her parents for a puppy. She begged and begged til they finally caved in, because nobody can resist those puppy dog eyes. So they brought her home a cute little puppy. Then they made the terrible mistake of letting her name the fluffy canine. Now this girl's love of fluffy critters also extended to a certain trading card craze. A craze that hit her entire grade back in 5th. A craze that's still around today after all these years. A craze that focuses on little pocket monsters. So when she was given the chance to name her new friend, she christened him with the most amazing name ever! Now you might be able to guess who she named the unlucky puppy after. If you chose Ash's little electric rat, Pikachu, then you were right. From that moment on her parents would never again let her name another animal. --

I'm bit childish by nature, therefore, I tend to like little kid's movies. Mix that with my love for animals and it shouldn't be too surprising that my favorite movie is Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron. I also adore My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Which is funny cause I don't like horses. They are the one animal I don't really like. Oh Oh Oh Oh!!! I'm also a huge fan of the How to Train Your Dragon series!

My top 5 favorite shows are One Piece, Attack on Titan (which is weird because I loathe the main character with a burning passion), Avatar the last Airbender, Kim Possible, and My little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

My favorite book series of all time is Artemis Fowl. Back in 5th grade once a week my teacher would read a book or a few chapters to the class. Sometimes two or more classes would be merged together for this. One of the books the teacher read to us was the first book in the Artemis Fowl series. Ever since then I've loved that series. Everyone else got obsessed with Harry Potter and I was that one kid who got obsessed with Artemis Fowl.

Let's see...... I don't have a favorite video game, but I do have a favorite video game franchise. I'm definitely a Tales of fangirl. I can't help it. I could never get into the Final Fantasy series. But once I played Tales of Symphonia I was sold.

As for music. Hmmmmm............ Halestorm and Nickelback are hands down my favorite bands. I could listen to them all day.

I love drawing, it's one of my favorite pastimes. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, ever since I first picked up a pencil. I remember when I was really really little I would try to mimic my mom's cursive cause I thought it looked cool. When I got a little older, there was this one time my mom took her eyes off me for a while. I took markers and drew all over one of the walls because I wanted to make a mural like those people on TV. My mom wasn't too pleased when she saw it......... As I got older I never gave drawing up. I kept at it.

I really love animation. If I could make either a game, TV series, or a movie without any sort of restrictions it would definitely involve animation. Dragons too, cause dragons are awesome.

After I graduate I would really love to work with video games, animation, or designing. Working in any of those genres would be simply amazing.

Wow! I think this is the most I've written all year. Cool!
