Luggage Trouble
03/23/2004
The big idea that started this was to make a Stop Motion Animation. What that is, is a movie that is mainly made up of photographs shown very fast.

Our biggest problem we were faced with was that our first idea got totally messed up. First we thought of ideas that wouldn’t take so many pictures but we had to use the same objects from our first idea. Then we planned out our story board and put our ideas together. Finally we took pictures and put our pictures into one short movie.

Our original plan did change. It changed because when we looked at our pictures on the computer it looked like the camera was moving instead of the the pictures matching up with each other.

I learned that Stop Motion Animation is very difficult for many reasons. Sometimes you’ll have pictures that you can’t use. It was hard to make up a story that wasn’t too long and that didn’t have to much sound or talking in it. It was also hard to make sure that your characters moved only a little bit at a time.
