The Final Project to End all Projects

     Well my loyal blog followers we have reached the end of the line. Here I embed my final project halfheartedly, knowing it's my last blog post. But rejoice! For I have put my heart and soul into every minute detail of my family's heritage and I hope you enjoy hearing about it as I did making it for you. 

     First, I sent an email to my family members to get some background knowledge on my family. Then I interviewed my Mother and Father to see what they know, and at last I had enough information to make a family tree and in FamilyEcho, a Prezi, and an Infographic. To conclude it all I made a five-frame storyboard of my family going from oldest to youngest.

      I like the video, mostly because of the guys British accent. I agree that people are becoming my antisocial when the dint look up and talk. I like the little story the guy put in there, explaining why you should put down the phone. I see people all the time, myself included on their phones instead of talking, like a parties or work things. I probably don't use m phone too much but I still could put it down more. The guy is also a pretty good poet.

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.

      The teacher is trying to say, that the most important thing that you gain from school is resilience to power through difficult things and not give up, because society destroys quitters. The main event is dealing with challenges, such as a thirty page  AP Euro review guide. I with this guy because he looses sleep because of his students so he really cares about them.

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 video went great, everything was good besides the fact that I couldn't layer sound in movie maker so all have are sound effects, which is okay. I wish I took more photos so it's not so choppy, but it's not that bad. I think this is the most fun project I have done school. I was gone the day everybody went around the classroom and viewed each others, but I'm sure mine is the best.

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 is to have a meal and have the food disappear bite by bite. I really like food so this would show my personality. I have not started taking photos yet. I will take them over the three day weekend. I will set up some lights and take some pictures.

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

I'm pretty sure its a form of video where you take a bunch of pictures to form a movie, like you move something slightly and take a picture and so on and so forth. I see them a lot in gifs and short films, they are really easy to find on YouTube, because lots of times they are associated with indie makers.
