Today was a great working day. I finished! I got to work on my Prezi and I finished. I have learned a lot doing genius hour. I learned a lot during the process of making my video. The most important thing I have learned was to be patient. Making a stop motion video is a long process. You have to move inch by inch. For me, this means a lot of drawing. It took me a little over three days to draw everything out. It took even longer to find a spot to start filming. Once I found a spot with light, I started. I took one picture then adjust an inch, then another picture then adjust an inch. I did that for a long time. My work has finally payed off. If I did this again, I would like to find a better spot, and something to put my iPod on. I tried everything, everything made a shadow in the light. I ended up just holding my iPod. My video could be a bit better. It's really really short, I wish I could make t longer. It's a lot of work. That's why you need patience. If you try to make a stop motion video, keep these tips in mind, plan out your idea before doing anything, pick a location that has lots of light, if you use a set make it nice and neat, use a tripod or a box to hold your iPod, take your time and have patience, make every movement small, and have fun and play around with your stop motion video!
