Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I think this is very interesting to me. I have never heard a teachers point of view or the fact that a teacher would loose sleep over students. I find it very interesting in so many diferent ways.  I believe that my teacher is trying to say that they care for me. Actually care for me and care what my future looks like and cares what my grades are. Which again i find surprising.

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.

My stop motion animation went very well, i feel very pleased with that i did and it turned out a lot better than i thought! The only think that didnt work was the ending, i felt like it was kind open ended, but oh well.

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 for the stop motion is to do a movie on my mornings. and how i get up, get ready at 5:20 in the mornign then head to weights when it is super early. I might just do a normal morning or one with the normal timing at 7:45. I have not started taking photos but i am beginning today. and hope to be pretty much done by this weekend and be ready to edit.

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

A stop animation is a screenshot that captures one moment in time of usually a object. Once the picture is taken another is required for a second moment when the object moves just a tony bit. 

Story board

Friday April 4

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 story board is all about my life after school in the spring time with track and homework and working out and of course sleeping. I like this project because you allowed us to be free with it and use our minds to create it rather than a guide line. I believe i told a clear story, it is straight forward and simple but creative i feel like. If i could do anything differently i would get more shots of me doing the actual activities but i was home alone last night so taking a picture while doing homework is a little hard.

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 something you use to lay out a story or idea. they use them in tv, cartoons and many school events.
