Top 3 stop motion animation

1. Megan Hamilton
Her idea was a dog falls off a slide, and breaks her leg, then she gets it fixed up.
This is my favorite, because there is so much going on. Someone is going down the slide, someone is swinging, and theirs animals walking around.

2. Dana Ordejans
Her idea was to place sticky notes on a wall.
This is my second choice because it is very cool. It looks like a dance floor.

3. Ian Whelan
His idea was legos arming a jet.
He is my third choice because he moves everything,including the legs, and is not just pushing them.

Journal - 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?

My stop motion animation turned out well. I am mad though, because my original movie, was destroyed, so I had to go to plan B. The only part that I did not like about my stop motion is that the camera moves a lot. I would give myself 50 out of 60 points on this project.

Journal - 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.

Over the weekend, I started on my stop motion animation. My first idea was to have blocks build themselves. It was very cool. I was making a castle, but then I needed to be somewhere. When I got back the castle was destroyed, so then I went to my back up plan, and showed ice melting. Today my photos will be uploaded.

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

My story starts with me filling a red bowl with water. Then the next photo shows me placing the bowl on the ceiling, with a broom, next my sister walks in, and I am pointing at the bowl, the next photo shows my sister holding the broom, and me running away. The last photo shows my sister standing there holding a broom, that is holding a bowl full of water on the ceiling.

Journal - 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.

The tool that I have used the most is the eraser tool. I like this tool because it allows people to remove the background of an image. There are different sizes that you can use. The only hard part is  when you have to erase the background near the part that you want to keep.

Journal - 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?

The pro to photo editing, is that you can edit photos for free. The con is of photo editing is that it is hard for certain people. Photo editing can be fun, when you make something that its not, and when you add something random into it. I am not going to explain what can make a photo inappropriate, because every one knows.
