stop frame annimation reflection

Stop Frame Reflection
I just did my stop frame animation project. I am going to tell you what was the most fun, what was the most challenging part of the animation, and also the most important thing I learned.
The most fun part of the project was definitely the Claymation. It was fun because I like creating cartoons. You create cartoons by taking photos of clay figures. Although it was hard I had a fun time doing it. Our clay wasn’t the best because it was really hard. My partner, Taylor and I are not very good at molding clay. It was something I looked forward to in the morning.
The hardest part of the assignment was the computer part. We were always messing up. Our computer did not work right. The audio was really hard to get it in the right place. Then we had to move scenes around on the computer. it just got really difficult because I didn’t know how to work IMovie . I am glad that part is done but it was a good experience.
There were many things I learned during this project. The most important thing I learned was computer and camera skills. Before this project I barely knew how to use a camera. Then I got good at all the technology aspects of the project. Which were working every thing. Now I could do this project over again, do better at it and do it faster.
After this project I was really happy we did it. I learned a lot, although it was very challenging. Taylor and I worked well together and we both did our part and we had a lot of fun doing it.

rear window essay
Shane Ball
8th Grade American Studies
October 1, 2007
I recently saw the movie Rear Window directed by Alfred Hitchcock, one of the best directors in history. The one main character in Rear Window is L.B. Jefferies which is played by James Stewart. I’m going to discuss who L.B. Jefferies is, what he wants and what he learns about himself throughout the film.
L.B. Jefferies is a photographer in the mid-fifties. He broke his leg while taking pictures so he is stuck in his apartment with nothing to do except look out his window at all the people. He is a very sneaky person because he hides in the dark and looks in other people’s apartments with his binoculars.
What I believe L.B. Jefferies wants is something to do. So while he is staring out his window he thinks he sees a murder. He is stuck in his apartment, bored so he jumps on it as a opportunity to do something besides sit in his apartment alone staring at other people.
What he learns about him self throughout the film is that he is caring person. Sure he is spying on everyone but he still cares about them. For example, when he believed that the woman was killed he was determined to prove the husband was guilty. He felt bad about the woman being killed and wanted to solve the crime.
In conclusion, L.B. Jefferies is a caring person that wanted to see justice being done. He proved the murder was committed by the husband despite the fact that everyone said he was wrong, including the detective on the case. He made a difference without leaving his apartment.
