This article really makes me think. It makes me view my teachers in a different light. Not that I didn't think they cared before, but now I know to what extent they care. They want me to succeed in life, in more ways than just getting good grades. Becoming a strong person is the goal of education. The main event of school is encouraging you to  be the best person you can be. Quitting isn't acceptable. Teachers don't want to see their students fail or even quiver. After reading this article, I see just how good of a support system I have.

Monday April 21st

Reflect on your stop-motion animation project. How did it go? What worked? What didn't work? If you're not finished - why? If you are finished go in to detail about the project and what you learned. Give as much detail and information as possible.

I really like how my stop motion animation project turned out! The opening credits and ending credits are my favorite aspects. Certain music didn't work. I learned how to pace a animation and different effects to apply to projects.

Wednesday April 9th

What is your idea for your stop-motion animation? Explain yourself. Have you started taking photos? If not, when do you plan to take your photos? What is your action plan for today? What is your plan to GET SOMETHING DONE?

My idea is a tennis racket being swung. I will have Morgan swing her racket and the photos will capture the movement of her swing. Tonight I will take the photos. Today I plan to find the music for the background.

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

It is a technique where stationary objects are put together to create movement.

5 Story Project

Friday April 4th

Tell me about your 5 frame storyboard. What did you like about the project? What did you dislike? Was it hard to fit a story in to 5 images? Do you think you tell a clear story? What would you do differently if you could? Explain.

My five frame story board is the making of a sandwich. I like the simplicity of my project.  I dislike the peanut butter picture because it was very hard to make the image look nice. The light didn't do that photo justice. It was a little hard to tell a story in just 5 photos, so I had to keep my story simple. I tell a very clear story because it is something everyone is familiar with. I would choose different lighting next time.

Tuesday April 1st

What is a storyboard? If you don't know, what do you think it is? How are storyboards used? What are some different ways that storyboards can be made?

A story board is an tool to help you organize your thoughts into boxes. You can make them on poster board, online, or on paper.
