What is stop motion animation? If you don't know, look it up! Explain.

Stop motion animation is when you move an inanimate object by small increments, taking a picture for every increment. This gives the viewer the impression of the object moving on its own. I always thought it was cool to look at, but realized how much time it would take to make a movie like Wallace and Gromit, and how much time you would need to have the movie be two hours. I remember how hilarious Wallace and Gromit, Curse of The Were-rabbit or something like that, was, but I couldn't imagine making something like that where you have to remake the character's face, and then take a single camera picture for a full 2 hour movie.

Tell me about your idea for your 5 frame story board. What is the plot? How do you plan to make the story creative? Who's the main character? What is the beginning, middle and end? Tell me about your plan of attack.

The plot is about a student at Blue Valley that battles an intruder at the school. The story is creative because the intruder is a fire breathing tiger, and the story takes place in a parallel world where monsters such as that live. The Main Character is Stephen Laidacker, and he is here to save us all with his magical red book of spells named, "Simplex". Stephen was just sitting minding his own business, when all of a sudden, a giant fire-breathing tiger comes and starts attacking the students. Stephen whips out his book, and fights the monstrosity. Tired, he goes and drinks up at the fountain before confronting the beast again. Stephen strikes the final blow and kills the beast, laughing at the end.

Tell me about your weekend - details please!

I was planning to take part in "Senior skip day" on Friday, but my parents didn't want to call me in sick. Although this normally wouldn't faze me, Iv'e already had some detentions because of the school I missed, and an ISS was probably next. Come Friday, I decided that I would skip anyways, and the whole day off I played video games.  On Sunday, I went to see John Wick with my dad. We both thought the movie was fantastic. The sound and size of the I-max was great and worked so well with the loud and deep engine of his car. The bullets and bullet wounds were so realistic they almost reminded me of Lone Survivor, although the casting of Lone survivor made the movie just good overall.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I know nothing about photography or photo editing. The only experience I have is with photo shop and i only used that once outside of school. I don't have any background knowledge about photography except for the fact that you press a button to take the photo. I don't necessarily dislike it, but i have no interest in it either. I thought about taking a photography class with Mr. Mosier after I finished pre-drafting, but I ended up not doing it

Tell me about your weekend. Share pics!

My weekend was extremely uneventful again. Spent 90% of my free time playing video games including sleep and homework. For most people looking at my weekend activities, it might seem boring and a dull weekend, but for me, having a weekend where I do nothing but play video games is perfect. My dream weekend would be me sitting down with my laptop or 48 hours straight being brought food on a silver platter. So, it was an amazing weekend.

I think her article about the strict clothing rules was kind of short-sighted. I honestly don't know why they don't just wear different clothes, and Iv'e never understood it. Surely you can find SOME clothes that are "cute" but meet the school's regulations. As far as I see it, its much easier than fighting a battle against the school. I get the adults making comments and I have seen it happen in the hallway. The girl got pulled off to the side by a teacher, the teacher then asked her if she had anything longer to put on.
