Family Tree- December 15th, 2014
In Emerging Technology my final project was researching my family tree. I started out by interviewing my mom and dad. Here is my mom's and my dad's interview. Then I emailed my grandma to try and find out more information on my great grandparents. You can find the email here. With the information I gathered I was able to make a family tree using familyecho.com. After that I created an infographic that represented a small piece of my family history. My final project was to make a prezi of my family history that included pictures and information.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.
I am not doing much for my Thanksgiving break. Both my brothers are home from school and we have a big meal on Thursday. Every year over Thanksgiving we put up all the Christmas decorations as a family. It never goes well; it usually ends up with me and my brothers fighting and them trying to boss me around so they don't have to do anything. I will have practice on Thursday but after that I plan on relaxing all break. Who knows I might even go get a massage. My break is pretty much a bunch of family time. My favorite part about Thanksgiving is that I get to help my mom cook the meal.

Reflecting on the comments and grade of your stop-motion animation... what you would do differently if you had to do it all over again? Would you manage your time better? Find better lighting for your photos? Come up with a better idea? Explain what you would change about your video.
If I had a chance to redo my stop motion animation video I would try and make the lighting better and also try and find a way to make my camera stay steadier. I didn't know how to keep my camera steady, so I laid my phone on the edge of a chair and took my pictures from the ground. Next time I would probably use a tripod to keep my camera more steady. I would also probably try and make it a little longer by adding more pictures to it, also in closer increments. I liked the idea I used, but next time I would probably try a different idea. Overall it was a cool project that I probably never would have done on my own.

Tell me about your weekend.
This weekend I went to the football game with a bunch of friends. We ate at Chickfila because it's a tradition. Unfortunately the football team didn't win, but it was a really great season and I'm going to miss going to the games. For my birthday my brother got me Hunter Hayes concert tickets. So, on Saturday night my brother and I went out to eat at Buca di Bepo on the plaza. Then after that we went to the concert! It was so much fun!! I love country music and he was so good. Then on Sunday I just relaxed all day and did my piles of homework that I had.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself.
I found taking the pictures difficult, I am not a very artsy person so it was hard for me to understand how to do it. At first I couldn't figure out exactly how to take the pictures. I would probably change the angles of my photos. Overtime I think that my motion animations would get better. I also didn't know how often to take a photo, so if I ever do this again I would probably try and take more photos in shorter frequencies. Mine animation will probably look not very good, but after seeing my first one completed I could probably improve with practice.

Explain your stop motion animation idea. How is your idea creative? How are you going to execute your idea?
I have decided to make a smoothie for my stop motion animation. I plan on making it look as if I am cutting the fruit and pouring the other ingredients. I then plan on making it look as if the fruit is jumping into the blender. After the smoothie is made I will make it seem like the smoothie is then drank in mere seconds. I plan on taking all my pictures after school today with the help of my friend Adam Houghton. I promised him I would give him the smoothie afterwards if he helped me.

What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.
Stop animation is when an object is being slightly moved between frames to make it appear as if the object is moving. This makes it seem as if the object is in constant motion. One example of stop motion animation that I did as a child is when you drew pictures on sticky notes. Then when you flipped through the sticky notes it seemed as a the bike was moving or that a flower has grown. It is also done in recent movies, such as The Lego Movie.
