Stop Motion votes

I think this one was the best because it was very creative, looks like it took lots of work and was actually longer than it needed to be.

Emma Friedlander

This stop motion was extremely creative and original and has great quality.

Andrew Fouriner

I thought this stop motion was great because of the quality of it and the idea was very cool.

 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 think my stop motion turned out great. If I could give it a grade out of 60, I would give it a 55 because my camera was very shaky. I learned that this is a cool alternative for an actual video.

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 about 150 pictures so I need to take more. I did not have much time over the weekend to work on it until Sunday because I was out of town. I will have them finished by tomorrow morning though.

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 going to build a building out of toothpicks. I am going to tell a story of a creation of a building from start to finish and then break it down again. It will be fun because i will have to get creative and I'll have to wait for every toothpick to dry. I will do it by myself and possibly have a friend help me. I will take them in Ellsworth, Kansas because that is where I'm going this weekend.

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.
So far we've used Pixlr and Photoshop Express. I have liked both these tools because they are simple, with the names and uses for each editing feature. You can easily select which photo you want to use and it will load it up quickly. There is nothing too bad about these editors but on Express, the feature to change the levels of each edit is kind of annoying.

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?

There are many pros such as being able to...

-make pictures clearer

-make a picture more vibrant and beautiful

-Fix blurriness

There are also many cons such as...

-Photo shopping models so they are perfect looking and it lowers other peoples self esteem.

-Making face pictures of someone to blackmail them.

Photo editing can be used in a fun way on picture sharing sites by making pictures have effects, backgrounds  borders, etc.

It can be a detriment when it is used for purposes such as blackmail and making models look better.
