Blog Post of the Day:
What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.

This Glorious 5 day weekend I am going to do absolutely nothing except for partake in the time tested tradition of eating my own body weight in turkey and stuffing or until I pass out from the sheer bliss of eating turkey while being away from school for 5 days.

Blog Post of the Day:
Reflecting on the comments and grade of your stop-motion animation... what you would do differently if you had to do it all over again? Would you manage your time better? Find better lighting for your photos? Come up with a better idea? Explain what you would change about your video.

In my reflection of my stop motion animation movie project I felt as if I did a swell job, although there are a few thing that, looking back, I wish I could have changed. First of all I would have picked up the pace of my video and made it shorter because--out of the feedback that I recieved--that was the number one complaint that most people had on my video. Also, I would have took more time and held the camera in a more constant position, whilst also focusing better on every picture.

Tell me about your weekend.

This weekend I spent most of my time keeping a watchful eye of my younger siblings while my parents were not home. I hung out with my friends and the Blue Valley football team lost so now they are out of the playoffs and done for the season.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself.

My personal experience of taking my stop motion animation photos was very invigorating to say the least. I didn't run into many problems, but what I found most difficult was getting the lighting just right for my photos. There is nothing I would change, as of now, with my photos because I worked rigorously hard, and kept an excruciatingly, diligent mindset whilst working on this project.

My ideas for a stop motion animation video are very innovative and creative. However, I have yet to choose a concrete idea. My heart is torn between a multitude of different possibilities for this project. First I was thinking that I could use some of the legos at my house to create a story of legos moving/building on their own. Although, some other ideas come to mind like scenes that involve people doing impossible things like jumping excessively high or far. These are only a couple of my unprecidented ideas on the stop-motion animation project.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.

Stop Motion Animation is an animation technique that uses material like clay or even legos to create a moving scene with inanimate objects. This is possible by taking a picture of an object in one position an slightly adjusting it in following pictures until you can put them all together in one scene.
