Stop Motion Animation Critics

1. Zoe Krump. Crayola markers design to end up spelling love. I thought it was creative and unique and it looked very well put together.
2.Grant Keucker.  Two rolling chairs in a hallway racing. I thought it looked almost like a video even, it was so put together and looked good.
3. Ian Whelan. Re-arming a lego battle ship. I thought that it looked really good and it was also a unique idea that's different.

Journal - How did you stop motion animation turn out? If you could give it a grade, what would you give it out of 60 points? What did you learn from creating this video?


I have no finished my stop motion animation. I'm trying so right now I would have a solid zero although I don't like the sound of that but I know that i's my responsibility to make it all up. I have learned that you need to be really creative and dedicated to do things like these but in the long wrong you will have something to be proud of because most of these stop motion animations are really cool looking and fun as well. You also need to have have lots of patience.

Journal - How far along are you on your stop motion animation? What did you do over the weekend to work on you stop motion animation? Do you have all your pictures today? Will you have all your pictures by the end of the hour? Give me a detailed updated.



I have not gotten very far at all. Over the weekend I started working on the pictures for taking pictures every ten minutes of the outside but I got really busy and ended up not finishing. Either way it would not have been enough pictures for the project. I do not have all my pictures at all today. I don't think that I will have them all by the end of the hour but I will make sure to have them ASAP.

Journal - What are you planning on doing for your stop-motion animation video? What story are you going to tell? How will your video be fun and different? Who is taking your photos? When are you taking your photos?

I am planning on either doing a slinky going down some stairs, or the clouds moving. It will be fun because it is a colorful slinky but my cloud idea I don't think would necessarily be different because it is so mainstream. I will take pictures of the sky/clouds in the same position like every ten minutes for about six hours. I will probably be the one taking my pictures. I will hopefully have them taken and everything by sometime Sunday.

Journal - What story will your storyboard tell? Explain in detail.

My storyboard is going to tell the story of how to get ready for school. My first picture will be one of me sleeping/getting out of bed. Then I will add a picture of m picking out an outfit for school in my closet. After that I go over to my vanity and brush me bed head out. Next I like put my make-up on. The last step would be for me to leave my room and go to the kitchen to make my lunch. A bagel with cheese, turkey, and lettuce. It's simple but fast and kinda fun.

Journal - What photo editing tool(s) have you used so far on your 5 photos project? Do you like the tool? Is it easy to use? Hard to use? What's good about it? Whats bad about it? Give a detailed review of the tool.


I have used two different tools. One being PIXLR and the other one is Pic Monkey. I like both of the tools, they're pretty easy to use and very self explanatory. That's one of the good things about both of the tools. They are pretty easy to work and self explanatory which makes them even more convenient and makes me like them even more. The bad thing about Pic Monkey is that there are certain features that you really wish you could actually use but the problem is that they are blocked off because you have to me like a member of some sort and you have to pay money for them. PIXLR is probably all around good. I like it and i have Pixlr-o-mic on my phone which is a form of the PIXLR website and I use it to add effects to my pictures to make them look artsier. This was the first time I ever used Pic Monkey but I liked it and it reminded me of Picnik.

Journal - What are the pros and cons to photo editing? What are some examples of when photo editing is fun and appropriate? When can photo editing be inappropriate or too much?

A pro for the person is that they would look better in the picture being edited if it is a person but if it is a graphic of something else not sure whether you would perceive this as pro or con but it decieves your eye of what you are seeing. You're not seeing what is truly there, you are seeing what you are wanted to be seeing. It can make it look worse than what it really is. It can also make people look fake but most of the time I see photo editing being used for people and models and to deceive what they actually look like but if you see them in reality, they aren't as pretty as the same looking at all, it's like looking at a whole different person.
