The Things of My Life

    It's really difficult to speak directly to the camera.
    I tried this past few days with trying to record my voice for a voiceover. I was working on a stop motion for my Gateway class. It was called "turn the camera on yourself" in which we had to now make ourselves seem like the interesting subject.
    I honestly had no idea what to do. I couldn't figure out what really described me. So, I thought I would show the things in my room that were meaningful to me. However, just showing the item in a video and talking about it directly is boring. I thought to just do a stop motion instead because the point of stop motion is to make something inanimate become animate and give it a personality.
    The final product contains a little over 300 photographs in 2 minutes and 27 seconds of video. It was tedious, but fun!
