Reflective Statement

My stopmotion idea was very interesting. First, I didn't have any idea of what I was going to do. Then, the teacher helped me decide what to do, she suggested me that I could do something with some sticks that she had. In my storyboard I only put six steps, based on what I was going to do, and my animation came out to be like I wanted it to be, despite my project was destroyed. The hardest challenges for me is making the structure be able to stand, and making the helicopter fly out of the animation. What I did to keep the structure from falling was to make it equally balanced from both sides by making it symmetrical, and I attached the helicopter to a stick and moved it upwards to make it look like it is flying. Making this project was not very easy because it tok a lot of time, and it got destroyed; still, I enjoyed doing it. If there was something I would change was taking the pictures from the same spot so it would look better, and I would take more time in doing it, since I had to hurry. If I had the option to work on this as an adult I would think about it, first I would see if I like another thing, and if not, I would try to look at this job. It seems fun, and original. It takes a lot of time to do it, and many epople are being succesful with this, and are gaining a lot of money with this. All in all, stopmotion is a very interesting, original, and fun process.
