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 a rubber band ball being taken apart.  I chose to do this because I thought it would look really cool.  I thought it was a lot of fun.  It didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted it to, but I think it would have looked really cool with more effort.
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 it a 6 because it took a lot of time and a decent amount of materials.  The only reason is isn't higher is because my effort put into making it was lackluster.
3. In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.  I would put a blank background behind it and make sure nobody was in the shot.  It also didn't help that I couldn't take all the pictures in one day which meant my camera angle changed a bit at the end.
4. Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project?   I don't think anybody else had the idea of taking pictures as something was broken down so that you can see the process of something being destroyed.  
5. What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.  I think I deserve an A because I put a lot of effort into making it, but due to complications it didn't turn out as well as it could have.  The pictures were interrupted by curious people and I ran out of time and had to finish taking pictures another day.  Overall, the idea was there, but my capture of the idea wasn't ideal.  I still had a lot of fun with the project though.
