Claymation Reflection

I think that the most fun part of this project was getting to build all of the clay people. At first we got to experiment with clay people and I thought it was funny to see how some of the people experimented with there clay figures. Another fun thing was getting to take all the pictures and upload them to the computer and play around with Imovie and make great animations and add voice and sound. Some other fun things were making the backgrounds and getting to look up how famous your explorer was. What he did. Some people had explorers that were ruthless and cruel and all they did was destroy things and others were kind to the Indians.

The most difficult part of this experience was getting serious and buckling down. So you could get to work and then making the actual clay figures and backgrounds. So you could make your scene and it became kind of annoying having to take 60 pictures for each scene the other difficult part to this was all the noise it became so distracting it was crazy and then you would have to upload all your pictures to Imovie. Wait for 5 minutes on top of that and then edit your pictures after all this you had to add voice while everyone else is trying to add there voice. It’s making so much noise it’s hard to think straight and if you talk to loud then your computer freaks out and then it sounds horrible. Plus it makes you sound horrible. This is what I feel was the most difficult part of this.

The most important thing I learned in this project. Was while your working on something like this project is you really need to stay focused non-stop and always pay attention to what’s going on. Some other things I learned was that when you’re working on a computer you need to make sure if you’re using the microphone to keep a level tone. When making your clay people once there done you don’t want to mess around with them to much because they will get soft and fall apart if u play around with them to much. When making your map to use a ruler and any form of tool you can and to make sure there really colorful.
