1. What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest). My stop motion animation was about making a bunch of designs using the scrabble board and the scrabble tiles. I chose scrabble to be about my video because at home I looked up multiple other stop motion animation videos and I stumbled across a scrabble one and what he/she did was really cool with the designs and that is why I chose it. I wanted to make as many designs as possible when I first picked scrabble but then as I watched more of these scrabble videos I came across one that made it look like you were playing a game and so that changed my thought later on when making the video.
2. If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and no very good and 10 being out of this world/mindblowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why. I would rate my stop motion animation video an 8.5 out of 10 because overall I thought I did pretty good when taking the pictures in the first place but when I was adding them into movie maker the quality didn't look as good as I hoped but in the end I was proud of how the video became.
3. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself. What I would do differently next time would be taking my pictures in better quality, lighting as well and try to get it done while it was still light out instead of  doing half at night.
4. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project? I would say what makes my video unique is what I did at the end of the video where I spelled out the word scrabble enlarged and one at a time. I never saw a scrabble video that did something like that and to me it felt like my idea as it came to my head.
5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning. I feel like my grade should be either a high B or a low A. My reasoning for this is that I had good ideas for each individual picture and that I didn't do continuous designs during the whole video; meaning I was trying to keep the viewers attention the whole time. I think I could have grabbed the viewers attention even more by doing something very unique.
