1. What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose 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).
2. If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and no very good and 10 being out of this world/mind-blowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why.
3. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.
4. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project? 
5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.

1. My stop motion video was about a scrabble game. I chose to do this because I saw some similar videos on the internet. I also did it so I could have a non moving subject and the pieces would be easy to move. I also did not have any other ideas. 
2. I would rate my stop motion video 8 because it is overall pretty good but the photography could be better. It would be better if I had done the pictures so that the camera was stationary. I put a lot of effort into the project so an 8 seems sufficient
3. the second time around I would have put the project on the ground or somewhere I could prop my camera up so that it doesn't move as  much. It would overall improve the quality of the video by a lot. It would also have been helpful for someone to help me move the pieces and adjust them to get a more seamless video 
4. My stop motion is unique because instead of focusing on the game as much it more focuses on the preparation of the game.  It also looks at the game from multiple point of views as if four different people are playing the game. The video is also unique because it has the pieces moving differently on their way to the spot almost like they are alive
5. I would give myself 95% because although the camera gets a little shaky at times the video follows the rubric and meets all of the requirements of being creative and having a story with a beginning middle and end. I also put a lot of effort into the project and I think that it is very well done.
