What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.

For thanksgiving my family is of course going to have a big meal. My oldest brother has come home for the holidays so that is always good. We really don't have any traditions, but we will probably sit around and watch football all day. My family always makes our thanksgiving meal together. I usually help peel the potatoes and other various things.

Reflecting on the comments and grade of your stop-motion animation... what you would do differently if you had to do it all over again? Would you manage your time better? Find better lighting for your photos? Come up with a better idea? Explain what you would change about your video.

I don't think i would change anything. Some of the things i don't really understand why i got the grade i did. I got counted off for some things that i thought was good like having the camera stationary and having a title and credits. I'm not reall sure how i I got counted of for style and consistency, but I'll take the grade I got.

Tell me about your weekend.

This weekend I went to the gear sale and watched football. I was really excited to see that the chiefs beat the Seahawks. I also had a lot of homework to do . I had to write half of a paper and I had to catch up on my physics homework.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself.

My experience taking stop motion pictures was pretty good. Some problems I ran into was when we took a break from taking the pictures, it was hard to get back into the same position you were in before. Sometimes the camera wouldn't have the same lighting every picture. If i could change how i took my pictures, i would have made the camera have a more birds eye view.

What is your stop motion idea? How is your idea innovative and creative? How are you going to execute it?

My stop motion idea is I'm going to make answers magically appear by snapping or hitting the table. This is creative because in stop motion you can make something look like it is magically appearing because you have time between pictures. I'm going to have someone help me take pictures of me doing this.

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

Stop motion animation is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object or persona appear to move on its own. So you use a bunch of photos to make something look like it is moving and doing something.
