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

I'm staying here but my sister is coming home from college so that's going to be super fun. It used to be a tradition that since by birthday is today, we would go to Iowa with my dad and celebrate Thanksgiving and my birthday with my dads side of the family. But that's not happening this year for many many reasons. Also my uncle is coming in town and bringing his 3 pets which I'm super excited to see! He already had 2 dogs and recently got a cat. When he gets here were going to see a bunch of movies like we always do and go shopping for my Christmas and birthday present! It's going to be super fun and it will be nice to have a break from school!

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.

I would definitely pay more attention to the angles because when its playing that fast and it changes the tiniest bit it really shows and looks bad. I would have made my pictures more clear and easy to understand whats going on and would I would have deleted that random text box that appeared saying "Enter text here". For the first half of the video i'm so far away that you can't even see me so I would say the whole video just sucked.
Where even am I?

Tell me about your weekend.

I had the busiest weekend I think I have ever had. On Friday, I left home at 7am and didn't return until 12:30 that night. I had relay for life registration, cheer practice and then we left the school right when we finished practicing and got on a bus to the Olathe DAC for the football game, which was so cold but so much fun, even though we lost. Then after the game a couple of my friends went to Jillians house to hangout. On Saturday I had to wake up too early and be at the school by 9:45 for our cheer competition at Southwest. It was an amazing performance and everything hit. So ofcourse, we came out on top with the best score of the competition.Then on Saturday night, 13 of my friends and I went to the Hunter Hayes concert for Mallory's birthday. It was an amazing concert and being in a suite made it so much more fun. On Sunday I had to wake up even earlier, and be downtown for the Adrenaline dance convention by 7:30. That was super fun except that I missed Saturday so I couldn't audition for a scholarship. We had 3 classes, a lunch break, one more class, a 45 minute break and then Best Of Show which is where the best numbers that competed perform. So on Sunday night I did absolutely nothing and just completely crashed.

Friday, November 11th

I took my photos on Tuesday and it was actually a lot harder than I expected it to be. My story was me flying down the lockers at leisure. I was wearing a sweatshirt, leggings and UGGS so I was so hot. I had to constantly jump up and down hallways and I was sweating so bad! Sydney was laying on her stomach in the video and had my phone up on a tripod in the sophomore hall.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.

I don't know, but according to Google it's a cinematic process or technique used to make static objects look like they're moving. It is commonly used with claymation and puppet-based animation. The objects are brought to life by breaking up the figures motions into increments and filming one frame of film per increment.
