Final Project- Winter 2013

These first two links are links to my interviews with my family members on both sides. The first one is a family member on my Mom's side. Click Here The next one is family member on my Dad's side. Click Here This next link is a link to my Persuasive Email. Click Here This is a link to my Family Tree made on Family Echo. Click Here This one is my Prezi. It displays members of my family tree and tells us a bit of information about them. We learn about my Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and siblings. My second-to-last one is my Infographic. It displays family information in a fun, creative, way. This last one is a link to my 5 frame storyboard. It shows me presented with the problem on how to find information about my family. I then look in old photo albums and find some pretty interesting things. I then show these interesting things to my family members and we all learn a bit more about our family history. Click here to View the Story

1) Katie Gemperli

Drawing a person, she was very artistic and I was very impressed. 

2) Troy Vansicle

Moving shoes; the shoes appeared to be moving on their own, and I was impressed. It looked cool. 

3) Cookie Cooks

His video was a group stick figures fighting. It was funny and made me laugh.

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?

my stop motion is going to be 60/60 points because its the best stop motion animation to ever come out since 1986. I learned valuable life skills such as you can wait till' the last minute to do a project and still get a good grade.

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 started taking photos; however, i don't have them with me today. I changed my idea to cars. I'll move two matchbox cars around and have them race. I should be done by tomorrow.

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 have a couple of ideas, two that stand out in particular. The first will be a lot of pennies. I will move them around my desk so it appears that they are moving on their own. My second idea would involve an action figure of some sort. I would just move the figure so it would look like it is walking on its' own. I will be taking my photos on my own with a tri-pod  at my house.

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

My storyboard portrays the epic tale of world hunger and the struggle to come across a slight bit of food. I become hungry, I look for food, open the fridge, and make a sandwich.

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 I've been using Plxr, It's a good tool because it mimics Photoshop but it doesn't cost any money. It's very easy to use and self-explanatory. My favorite tool on Plxr would be the "pen" tool. You can draw on photos just like a real pin!
