Her laugh broke the silence. After the expected time in which Erika Amanai should have died, she giggled frenetically in my face. Yes, I wrote Erika's name in my Death Note, but she did not die after the forty seconds. At that moment, I assumed that she had given me a fake name. I also considered that the fact that my Shinigami (Death God) Karemu laughed, was because she knew that it was a fake name. The supposed to be called Erika was smiling as she thought I was cooperating with her in the Kira (Killer) case. After spelling her name, I had written that the cause of death was a heart attack, I would take her away so no one could find her lying on the floor.

After a few minutes of having pressure on myself, because she was getting closer to find out I was Kira, she said she had to leave to the headquarters. I could not allow this, if she went there, it would be revealed that I was suspected of being Kira, and there was enough evidence for me to be confirmed as Kira. She started to walk away, and I realized I only had five minutes until she got there. I had to kill her before she got there, but how? An idea crawled into my brain, a brilliant one. I told her not to leave, that I had to tell her something else, something of vital importance. I told her I was part of the Kira investigation headquarters. She was surprised, and she got excited to hear such good news. I offered her a spot to work with us, but of course, I was not involved with the headquarters, it was a bluff. She said that she would completely join the case, and that she wanted to take revenge over his husband, no matter what she had to do.

It was all going as planned, she fell for my bluff. I told her that to get into the headquarters, I just needed an I.D, so I could register her information. She gave me a drivers license and confessed that she had given me a fake name before. Bingo. I told her it was okay, that it was all to protect herself from Kira. I didn't know why everyone was protecting themselves from me, even if they didn't know me. I only killed bad guys, and everyone knew it. I would never kill an innocent civilian, but she was about to reveal my true identity, and I could not allow that. I looked closely at the I.D. Misa Haruno was her real name, according to the drivers license. Carefully I introduced the name into my death note, but she thought I was only registering her information. I looked closely at my watch as the forty seconds were now in the process of murdering Misa. She then asked with a tone of voice I will never forget, "Why are you looking so closely at your watch?''. I answered with a simple "Oh, this? Well it's because... I'm Kira". Shock covered her face and body, it was success. She collapsed onto the floor after the needed forty seconds had passed. I took her away with the help of Karemu. The fact that I was Kira was fully unknown, I was suspected of being Kira, but there was no physical evidence, since I just needed a name and a face to kill. At least, I was not discovered yet...

We were working on a roto ball video on the last few weeks. The videos needed to be creative and at least fifteen seconds long. You could not have any kind of violence in it, especially murder and blood. A problem I encountered during the creation of my flash project was the background. I tried a few but some just went directly into the imaginary trash can. Finally, I found a cool but simple one, which ended being the one I used in the final project. Other than this everything was pretty easy and fast, I finished the whole thing in three days. I edited and put all of the classroom's videos together, found a couple songs, and introduced them into the video. I also made the slides, but those were pretty easy. I had some problems in finding the music that would be the best for the final project. I thought about millions of songs that I like, but I couldn't think like that. I had to pick something that would interest everyone in the class, something cool, but something neutral. I finally picked A Cause Des Garcons, and Boogie Wonderland. I think they are pretty great, and don't get out of the normal tune. These were my main problems with the flash project, it wasn't really that problematic. See you next time!

Rotoball Video

The video was great, but some things could be changed for the best. Some backgrounds are either too funky our just look bad. This can be easily fixed in a few minutes and will make the video look completely different, better. Also, some of the videos have kind of a stiff character, they could add at least some flexibility in the knees. Not all need that flexibility, since some are just people standing. Lets take Thomas' video for example, he is supposedly surfing, but he does not move at all. Perhaps if he extended his arms and bent his knees it would look a lot better. Other than these small flaws, the video was quite good, I hope you think so too.

I give myself credit for putting the videos together, selecting and inserting the music, and creating the video slides.
