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

This weekend I'm going to my uncle's house for thanksgiving and he lives in Oklahoma.  Our traditions on thanksgiving is eat a lot and make sure that you get fat, and make sure that there are yams and marshmallows there, also.  When I get home i will probably make a video for my YouTube channel, because I haven't made one in a few months.

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.

If I could redo my project then I would just try to stabilize the camera more than I already did, and i would wait and get them to be less blurry so the camera can focus, and I would get better lighting than I already had.  The scores that people gave me were out of 17 scores, 7 were 5/5, 7 were 4/5, and 3 were 3/5, and the main problem that they said was the camera was jumpy, but overall based on those scores, I think I did pretty well.

Tell me about your weekend.

Over the weekend I practiced driving with my mom and drove around some neighborhoods and on some main streets, and this is only my 5th time driving, so I was a little nervous, but I do like driving, because it can be fun sometimes and I  hope that I can practice driving again this weekend.

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.



The only problems I had about my animation was that the Legos sometimes fell apart and I had to rebuild some of the spots.  Other problems were that I had my fingers in some of the shots and had to crop them out.  Those are the pictures that I would retake.

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

Stop motion animation is an animation that is just a bunch of pictures that are around 30 frames a second so it seems like it is a video to ours eyes, and it is most of the time hand drawn pictures, and sometimes it is claymation also, or it can be any physical object that is just in animation

Tell me about your idea for your 5 frame story board. What is the plot? How do you plan to make the story creative? Who's the main character? What is the beginning, middle and end? Tell me about your plan of attack.

My five frame story is about an evening, and it shows what I do when I get home from school.  It starts with me getting home from school and ends with me sleeping, and I'm the main character.

Tell me about your weekend - details please!

Over the weekend I got my drivers permit at the dead mall and it was a very easy 25 question paper test and I only missed two questions, it was extremely easy but I thought it would be on the computer.  So far I am really nervous when I'm in the driver's seat, but I hope I'll get used to it.
