1) Regan Hamilton                            Toy Dog Gets Hurt                      The pictures really flowed together
                                                                                                            to make it look like an animation.

2)Ian Whelan                                    Legos "rearming"                         They flowed together really well and
                                                                                                            it had a story line behind it.

3)Dana Oudejans                              Sticky Note Transformation         It was really cool looking and it
                                                                                                            looked like an animation.

Journal - How did you stop motion animation turn out? If you could give it a grade, what would you give it out of 60 points? What did you learn from creating this video?

 I think it turned out pretty well. I would probably give myself about a 55 to a 60. I learned that it takes a lot of time to make a good stopmotion. I also learned that you can do a lot of things in movie maker.

Journal - What photo editing tool(s) have you used so far on your 5 photos project? Do you like the tool? Is it easy to use? Hard to use? What's good about it? Whats bad about it? Give a detailed review of the tool.
                   So far I've been using Pixlr. I absolutely love the tool. In fact, when I got home I downloaded the app and then showed it to my modeling manager. I think it's very easy to use. I think everything is good about it. It has tons of choices, is extremely easy to do, and it looks super cool after you do a couple things to your photo. You can download a lot of different overlayers to use and a lot of different accent colors. There is also a choice to use frames. There's a couple different programs on it so you can choose which one you like the best. I like it because it gives you a lot of choices but I also hate it because of that. It gives you so many choices you could be working on one picture for days and find several things you like.

Journal - What are the pros and cons to photo editing? What are some examples of when photo editing is fun and appropriate? When can photo editing be inappropriate or too much?

                   The pros of photo editing are that you can make an image look cooler than they looked before. Another pro is that you can make an image your own. A con is that it can take a long time. Well, an appropriate time is definitely for selfies. I'm just kidding, that's more of a fun thing but an appropriate time is if you're in a photo contest where you can actually edit the photos. Inappropriate is when people put the weird stickers and stuff on their photos. I think that is just plain weird and I personally think it looks tacky.
