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.

Track Practice Storyboard

Tell me about your 5 frame storyboard. What did you like about the project? What did you dislike? Was it hard to fit a story in to 5 images? Do you think you tell a clear story? What would you do differently if you could? Explain.

I titled my storyboard "Track Practice."  It's pretty simple just getting dressed, warming up, drills, run and stretch. I like taking pictures I think it's fun to get cool angles and other stuff. I believe my story is pretty easy to understand, it's really not that complicated. I would not wait to the last minute to make it.

What is a storyboard? If you don't know, what do you think it is? How are storyboards used? What are some different ways that storyboards can be made?
