Stop Motion Animation Top Three

1. Abigail Krump
   Climbing Around the World
    It takes a lot of skill and upper arm strength. Also was the longest.
2. Maila
   M&M figures.
   It takes along time to move each M&M like that, and making sure all the others stay in the same place.
3. Dana Oudegian
    Sticky Note Art
    This not only takes time but amassing hand eye coordination to get everything right.

How did you stop motion animation turn out? If you could give it a grade, what would you give it out of 60 points? What did you learn from creating this video?

It turned out not as well as I originally hoped probably grade wise a 50 out of 60, so not to bad. If there is anything I have learned from this little project, is that stop animation requires a lot of time, and is very boring. I have new found respect for whoever makes full length stop animation movies for a living.

How far along are you on your stop motion animation? What did you do over the weekend to work on you stop motion animation? Do you have all your pictures today? Will you have all your pictures by the end of the hour? Give me a detailed updated. 

I had to scrap my original idea, but fortunately, I always have a backup plan. I took some 160 some pictures, and I really don't have an exact count, but I finished over the weekend, after three hours of work. I still had one of my lego drop ships still intact, including all the missiles and bombs (all legos naturally) for it.

What are you planning on doing for your stop-motion animation video? What story are you going to tell? How will your video be fun and different? Who is taking your photos? When are you taking your photos?

I'm planing on doing something very simple for my video. Sense I know martial arts, I will do one over a martial arts form. It should be basic, but it requires a lot of photo's will little room for error, so only a simple form would suffice.

Journal - What story will your storyboard tell? Explain in detail.

It is story put into the form of an analogy. The sink that appears in the pictures represents the ocean, while the swimming ring represents the animals. It shows as humanity slowly drains the oceans for resources the animals of the oceans slowly die.

What photo editing tool(s) have you used so far on your 5 photos project? Do you like the tool? Is it easy to use? Hard to use? What's good about it? Whats bad about it? Give a detailed review of the tool.

Pixlr is so far the only one I have used, mostly because it is the simplest, and it allows for the manipulation of  color very easily. However you cannot superimpose other pictures onto the base photo, which is somewhat of a downside.

What are the pros and cons to photo editing? What are some examples of when photo editing is fun and appropriate? When can photo editing be inappropriate or too much?

Photo editing can be used to superimpose or otherwise add things to a picture. Most of the time they can and should be used for personal use only, and one should always show credits if you don't own the picture. Don't try to make it outrageous ether. It only requires simple work and make sure it makes sense. And please, keep things school appropriate.
