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 honestly think that the score I received is unfair because Boushka over here had about 100 pictures going at one frame a second while mine was well over 300 pictures with multiple different settings and ideas involved. I would probably do the exact same thing but I think it is also unfair that our teacher skimmed over everyone for about thirty seconds then moved on. All this effort was valued in little time which was in my opinion a poor way to grade. My time management was fine and I thought the pictures all had even amounts of light throughout. Also my pictures were taken partially on the move to make a better effect on the outcome and were not very jumpy for the extent that I used them but I guess that is not what the rubric states. I guess if I were to change something it would be to include more "stationary" shots and to tell a story.
