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

For thanksgiving all of my family is coming into town, and unfortunately staying at our house.  We are also celebrating a lot of birthdays too.  My aunt and my sister share a birthday on the 26th, but because it's my sisters 18th birthday we're mainly celebrating hers.  It's also my dad's birthday on the 28th so I'll probably go black Friday shopping with my sister like last year.  At the actual dinner there will be probably be fighting because that's what my family does.  Also a huge secret might come out because what's a holiday without a secret.  I can't for the turkey and the pecan pie.

Review your rubric from yesterday. Look over the comments and grade.

My stop motion video got a score of 64/65, the only point I missed was lighting and focus.  One way I could have gotten that point was having my pictures where there was better lighting. To make the lighting better I could have used a flash but that made the pictures look funky.  I should of just used and overhead lamp.  The pictures were also a little bit blurry, but that was just the quality of the camera.

Tell me about your weekend.

I had a very uneventful weekend. I honestly didn't do anything. On Saturday I slept in till 9:00.  Yes, 9:00 is sleeping in for me.  Then I basically just sat around and watched cold case.  Then on Sunday I thought I should mix things up a little so I woke up at 9:00 and watch girl code and football all while doing my homework.

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.

For my stop-motion photo project, I used skittles to tell the story.  I set up the camera on a tripod looking down at the skittles on a piece of construction paper on my dinner table.  Some problems that I encountered were that my cat jumped up on the table and screwed it up twice.  Something I would change is doing it in my basement so nothing can mess it up.

what is idea? how is it creative? how?

I will be using a number of materials for my stop motion animation.  I'm using skittles and moving them around until they form a day of the dead skull and then it will turn into peices of paper.  it'll look super intricate and cool.

Stop animation is an animation technique where an object is moved in small increments to make it seem like it's moving by itself. Some examples are The Nightmare Before Christmas, King Kong, and Gumby.  The  technique can be used with figurines and they can can move them move them and take photos.  Then they string all of the photos make them move to tell a story.

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.

Yesterday I edited photos.  I chose the photos based on how much I thought they could be edited most.  For a lot of the photos I used the tool, burn, on the background.  This made them darker but still bring the color out.  The assignment was to take a total of ten pictures throughout the school at different angle then edit five of them

What did you do this weekend!

On Friday I got to skip school and go to Lawrence to run in STATE!  This was my best race so far and I broke 17 minutes getting 16:56.  Since Halloween was on Friday I went to a party for a little bit then went to play in my soccer game.  On Saturday I had another soccer game because we were in a tournament.  On Sunday I went to the Chiefs Game (we won).  After the game I headed over to Tanners for my soccer dinner, but my coach couldn't come because his wife went into labor.
