GIANT blog post of the day:

Answer the following questions thoroughly on your blog. 
  1. What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest).
  2. If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and no very good and 10 being out of this world/mindblowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why.
  3. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.
  4. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project? 
  5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.

My stop motion was about stick figures fighting with explosives and trying to beat each other.  I remember making these pictures as a kid and this was an opportunity to bring my pictures to life.  I thought it wouldn't be super hard, but drawing and redrawing the pictures took a long time, and I also had to keep my pictures consistent.  I would rate my project a 9/10 on effort and trying to make it the best as possible,  but with my bad artistic skills and camera management I would rate myself a 7/10.  I would try to keep my camera as still as possible and also adjust the lighting so it would be the same on every scene.  My stop motion is unique because nobody else thought to make anything with a whiteboard, especially having stick figures coming to life to fight each other.  I think I deserve a B+ on this because my effort was high; however, my output wasn't as high as I had hoped because of the camera movement and the lighting.
