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).   My stop Motion was about a Star Wars fight with different characters from the series. I choose this because it would be cool seeing how it would be once it finished was a great thing to see. It was kinda challenging due to the fact that I had to take all of the photos and set everything up to make it look good. My reasoning for this film was to be different from most stop motion films that are out there did come into here in the classroom so I thought it would be different to think outside of the box. 
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/mindblowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why. Either a 8 or a 9 because I did have some mess ups by having blurry photos or just having my arms or legs in the shot when I'm taking the pictures. But overall I do fell really good about the project overall. 
3. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself. What I would have done better would be time management because of the fact that I had two baseball games that week and practice on Monday was really hard for me to get it in on Friday, If I had more time to do it, there probably wouldn't be much of an issue with the project. Also I would have picked something for easier to do because it was alot of work to do it over the weekend due to the fact that project was pretty hard in my books. 
4. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project?  What makes mine unique is that I did a Star Wars fight, and when you think of stop motion no one really thinks of Star Wars more of a fight scene with actual people not toys. I did think outside the box because when I was seeing different stop motion films most of them were about common films that other people do, but in a different style or way. Mine is really unique and I'm proud of it. 
5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning. I believe I deserve either a high B or a low A because of  some of my photos were either blurry or had a limb in the way of the figures. But I feel really good about what I did when I didn't make any mistakes.
