A Look Into My Life

I started out by interviewing two people about there family and up the family tree. I interviewed my mom Julie and my dad Todd. After the two interviews which I gathered a bunch of great information. but as i stared my family tree on family echo gathered that  needed more information so i sent an email to my my Grandfather. After the email I had most of what I needed for both the info-graphic and Pezi. Both of those parts of my final were hard and time consuming. the info-graphic was annoying as it was last time we did it. The info-graphic turned out like i had hoped after a little tweaking it was ready. info-graphic is below. Next came the hardest part the Prezi, coming up with the people was the hardest. after that was done finding the photos to go in the Prezi was not fun. The Prezi is also below. But in the end, the project was fun to learn about my family on a deeper level.

To start off the week, Im having a sleepover on Tuesday with my two besties. Then not doing until Friday, I’m being a body guard for two of my friends in the stores. Then I’m going to see my dying grandmother in Maryland on Saturday and Sunday. We don’t really have any traditions other than eating way too much. This year we are all splitting up no one will be together for thanksgiving this year. LLLLL

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

More time we didn't have time to do a longer story to make my story line make sense. I shot a lot each day Claymation takes a very long time to make. Watch the focus more on the shots and re shoot them if I had noticed them at the time. I would just have expanded on the story line and made the video longer.

Blog Post of the Day:
Tell me about your weekend.

My weekend was pretty awesome hung out with friends. On Friday one of my friends’ boyfriends was busy so her and I went to see Letters to Sala at Blue Valley Southwest. The show was so much better than the show we did here. Then I went to the mall on Saturday with my BFF and it was really fun. We walked around for a bit then her boyfriend showed up and things got awkward so I just left. Then on Sunday my two best friends wanted to hangout but at the last second her mom wouldn't let her go. So the other girl and I went to Goodwill, drove around for two hours, and I had her try sushi for the first time. She love the whole day and found a new food she liked.

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.

It was a really fun experience and hard at the same time. Some problems I ran in to be having a hard time moving the clay just a bit each time. Also having people not touch the set or having things move when moving other things. Make the set a little bigger and not as complex took a lot of time that I didn't have!!!!

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

 Stop motion is a series of photos put together to form a video that is played at speed. A normal video is made up of 30 frames or photos per second. Instead of filming the action you take photos one at a time to make the video. Example below:
