What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.

On Thanksgiving I am going to my aunts for dinner and hanging out with all of my cousins. While we are at my aunts we usually watch Christmas movies, eat, play games, and catch up. There is always that awkward thing where you haven't seen a family member in years and they talk about how little you were and you don't even remember their name. I am also going black Friday shopping with my mom, dad, and brother. Throughout the five day weekend will hangout with my friends maybe go shopping or go see a movie. I think it would be nice to go see the lights at plaza so maybe I will go do that.

Reflecting on the comments and grade of your stop-motion animation... what you would do differently if you had to do it all over again? Would you manage your time better? Find better lighting for your photos? Come up with a better idea? Explain what you would change about your video.

If I had to do this over again I would use a camera stand so my pictures would not be as shaky, I would use a cleaner background, and I would not have any hands in the shot. Some of my pictures were a little blurry because I did not have a stand and because I was taking them so fast. If I did this another time I would do it on a black or white background so the colors pop, the background I used was dirty so I wish I could go back and fix it. Another thing is the hands the video is supposed to look like no one is putting the skittles down so having the hands in it defeat the purpose.

Tell me about your weekend.

On Friday I didn't work so I went out with my friends earlier than normal and we just went and got food and hungout. On Saturday I worked from 9am-1:30 so it wasn't bad at all, after work I went shopping with my mom and brother then later that night my entire family went out to dinner. On Sunday I got up early and went to the gym with my mom later that day we went to my grandmas house for dinner. Later that night I finished up some homework. It was a pretty chill but successful weekend.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself.

I didn't run into any problems everything seemed to move smoothly, I had two people help me which is why it went well. If I could go back I could change what was around my photos because I now have to go back and crop things out.

Tell me about your idea for your 5 frame story board. What is the plot? How do you plan to make the story creative? Who's the main character? What is the beginning, middle and end? Tell me about your plan of attack.

My idea for my five frame storyboard is how to post a picture on instagram. I'm the main character,m and I plan on screen shotting the pictures so someone could get a closer look on how it is done

Yesterday you edited and uploaded photos to your blog. Tell me more about your photos. HOW did you edit them? Why did you choose the photos that you did? Explain your assignment.

I edited them by making some black and white, lighter, darker, or added colors like blue and red. I flipped some pictures around. I chose these photos at random I wanted to take pictures that were not interesting but make them cool by added effects. Our assignment was to edit pictures that we took with our phones and Photoshop them we got to take the pictures but we had to get certain ones like a close-up of an eye, we got to add our own twist to it with photoshop.
