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.

After my four years of being in highschool i feel like this guy is right. this is what we talk about in Mr. Mowry's class sometimes. the main point of school is not the learning or the way you learn, but rather to overcome challenges presented to you in a manner that will help you grow. school is meant for you to learn, but sadly it only teaches you how to learn, not actually learning itself. i know homeschool kids that have the same education level as i do, but havent entered a school a day in their lives. "The main event" is overcoming the adversity you face in high school and college because one day it wont be as easy as it has been through highschool and if you are used to giving up then you are screwed.

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.

Well I didnt do mine well enough and I knew that right from the start. My lighting and camera stability were very poor along with my idea. I finished and made it look better but I probably shoulnt have used a filter thing on it since that also made it confusing. I learned how to use movie maker though and I now know how to use it to my advantage. Overall it was a fun project, I just wish I made it better and spent more time on it.

Thusday, April 10th

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?

Im going with the ida to use inanimate objects to make a scene. Im going to take a soccer ball and tape a face to it and travel around with it this weekend. Since I'm going on a 10 hour bus ride I will take my pictures then. I'm going to move it around the bus with different faces and have it do some fun things. Today I will learn more about it and even start thinking about what I should make the ball do.

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

Stop motion animation is where you use inanimate objects and slightly move them every frame so it looks like they are actually moving. its like what they use in the lego movie.

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

My storyboard tells a story about myslef. I'm late to an event and my car wont start so I have to walk. It was fun taking th pictures but a real pain in the butt trying to upload them. My story was short enough that I could fit in into the 5 frames. Next time I would use an actual camera though

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?

I actually do not know what storyboard really is. I've heard it a couple of times but I really don't know. It probably has something to do with putting photos together to make a story. And then you put these stories on a board. That's my best guess at what it is.
