5/16/15 Stop Motion Animation

Stop Motion Animation and Answers
Ryan Hakim


1. What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose to do your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest).

Answer: My stop motion animation was about a kid who can dunk that shatters the entire basketball hoop after doing a 360-between the legs-free throw-backflip dunk. After he does that, Michael Jordan shows him his magic powers by fixing the hoop and with a bunch of logos that don't make sense. I chose this because it was Tuesday, I hadn't taken one picture yet and I ran out of ideas so I thought of this creative train-wreck.

2. If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and not very good and 10 being out of this world/mind-blowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why.

Answer: I would actually give this project out of 10 an 8 despite my flaws in ideas. The pictures flowed well, the drawings were more than mediocre, and the story kind of made sense. I feel like I made a mountain out of a molehill (figuratively).

3. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Different topic? Explain yourself.

Answer: The thing that killed my 2 points that would make this would be TIME MANAGEMENT. The domino effect fell on my project because of this because once I realized that I didn't have a strong storyline, I was frantically trying to scramble something with Michael Jordan and a story with a whiteboard. Another attribute that could have been avoided was my photo taker (not me, you know who) kept taking pictures that were shaky.

4. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project?

Answer: My story was very progressive and I'll credit myself with that. No one I know could have thought of a topic to finish in 2 days (or how ever long I didn't mess around) it combines weirdness, exclusiveness, and a good story.

5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.

Answer: I believe that I deserve a B+, I may have butchered my last chance to get an outstanding grade in Emerging Tech, but I know I have emerged to be one of the best students in the class with projects but I don't want to have to see how bad I did for my last 8th grade assignment ever...

  1. 1. Your camera placement could have been better and more still but it was in close enough.
    2. Your theme of basketball is a good theme and using Magic Johnson is cool.
    3. Next time make sure to not make your video so choppy and make the camera stiller. Good project though.

  2. 1) It was really choppy but it was in focus the entire time.
    2) The theme was really nice and I liked the story behind it but at the end it was sort of random.
    3) It was really nice overall but the camera would be something to improve on.

  5. Your idea was great, but the performance was lacking effort. Your camera placement and stability was not so good. The artistic skills were okay, but your pictures were not aliened and it looked like a last minute. Plus, i couldn't see the words. But other than that it was good!

  6. Your camera was the shake and I did not get the point but for some weird reason it was cool to watch. If I could change something I would make the text show up longer and I would add music or narration. Well done.

  7. Your video was awesome and easy to understand, but your camera work was a little shaky and your fps could've been faster. But I liked how you recreated Magic Johnson, and how he broke the basketball hoop, overall good presentation

  8. The camera was really shaky and I would have liked the text if I could have seen it. next time keep the camera still.

  9. Your video story about Jordan was pretty good. Your camera was out of place quit a bit, and some of the slides weren't timed right.

  10. I liked the story but the camera moved a lot and some of the speech slides were too short for me to read in time.

  11. I enjoyed the story, but your camera moved around a lot. Next time try and put something to hold up your phone with. The slides were a little fast, so you could turn down your fps a little bit. It was cool that you did the jerseys and logos. Just remember next time to have something to hold up your camera. Nice video!

  12. It was a great story, though the camera was a little bit shaky but it didn't bother me too much it was fun and enjoyable to watch it did go a little bit fast but that is easily fixable great video though!

  13. It was a good video but there were errors that were noticeable. First off, the camera very shaky and secondly it wasn't really a stop animation because we didn't see it being drawing, you just took photos of it pre-drawn.
