Stop-motion places

1. Abigail Krump. Rock Climb(all around the world). It had a good idea and the pictures were good as well.

2. Dana Oudejans. Sticky Note Design. It had a good pattern and the colors and idea was really neat.

3. Zoe Krump. Marker setting(love). The patterns that she made were cool.

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?

I think my overall presentation came out a lot better than I thought it would. I like how the movement flows a lot better than I had expected. I wish I could have done more in the editing stage, but I didn't have enough time to do that, because I spent awhile on music. If I were to give it a grade I would give it a 56/60, because I can see how a couple points would be taken off here and there, but not a significant amount. From the video, I learned how to farther use movie maker.

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.
I am decently far along with the stop motion animation.  Yesterday, I had my friend come over and she helped me take the pictures.  It took about 3 hours to take all the pictures and put them on the flash drive that I have. Yes, I do have all of my pictures today, and since I have them already I will still have them by the end of the hour. I think I am on tops of it and making good progress in terms of finishing.

Journal - 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?

The topic that I am planning on doing is something with littlist pet shops. They are gonna be on a play ground going down a slide. Then, all the sudden one is gonna fall of and break a bone is his or her body. Finally they will go to the doctor and the bone all fixed up. Mine will be different because it is a different topic in general, and done with different prompts. I am going to be taking my photos. I will be taking them over the weekend, most likely on Saturday.

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

My storyboard was about tying a shoe. The whole thing is pretty simple. The first slide I have the untied shoe laces, in the next I have the laces tied in one knot. For the third slide, I show a bunny ear and getting ready to wrap the lace around and through the whole, which is what the next slide is. The last slide is finishing of and pulling the string through the loop. I used my  tennis shoes to take the pictures.

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.

I have used fotoflexar. I like the tool for the most part. I feel like it is kind of basic and could have had more opinion that I could use. The tool is easy to use, simple and it didn't take any time to figure out how to use it. I think what is good about it is all the effects that you can add to the picture. That was my favorite part. What's bad about it is how they have a lot of things that you can do, but a lot of them they won't be useful for a lot of pictures. Overall, balancing out everything about the tool, it is a good tool.

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?

One of the pros is that you can get the picture exactly the way you want it. You also have the opportunity to make yourself look better through the editing. Some of the cons include people editing them in a somewhat mean way or doing things that are good with the picture. An appropriate would be something like red eye removal or just changing the color. it can be too much when the whole picture is obviously edited and anyone can tell easily and it could be inappropriate when it is used for something like adding in something to a person that the person would not or does not approve of.
