The progress of my project:
Day 1: I tested out a stop-motion app to see how it worked.
Day 2: I did one test video and then started taking pictures for my actual video.
Day 3: I continued to work on my video and take a few pictures and add them to my site.
Day 4: I do some editing and insert my video onto my site.
Day 5: I answer my sentence starters.
Using toy cars, I created a stop-motion animation because I wanted to create something using stop-motion to see how good it would look.
During this process, I learned how tedious making a stop-motion animation can be sometimes.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Computational Thinker because I developed a strategy to fix the scenes in my animation, which was going into iMovie and fixing the sequence of my animation.
A challenge I overcame on this project was editing my animation so the clips were in the right order. I was able to do it by using iMovie.
Given a chance to do this again, I would add some more scenes to the animation. The reason why I would change it is because I had to delete some scenes the fix my animation sequence, but now it feels to short and there are some scenes missing I would've liked in there.
