In this practice video, my group was pretty much just experimenting with stop-motion; testing how many pictures we should use to convey speed vs. slowness, realizing the effects of lighting changes, as well as coming up with techniques we can use in our final. We weren't really going for a specific story in this practice video.

This video inspired me because our group is thinking of doing something with legos. This video can give us tips on how to move the characters, how to show emotions, etc. This video is really cool because it transforms objects we are familiar with to other objects that aren't associated with the original item. It uses everyday things to show cooking which is very inspiring. This video is really cool because the stopmotion is through drawing. I'm really into drawing, so this video is really inspiring.

Inspiring Magazine Designs Covers: I was inspired in several ways by these covers. In the first cover, I was inspired by the simplicity as well as the contrast between the black and white photo and the red background. In the third photo, I was inspired by the contrast in font colors. The last three cover designs are all pretty abstract which was also really inspiring. I especially liked numbers 2 and 4. Advertisements: With these two ads, I was mainly inspired by their creativity. and simplicity. Spreads: I found inspiration in the first spread by the simplicity as well as the image placement. I was inspired by the second spread with the font placement.

 I instructed Jace to look slightly away from the camera, but I wanted him to be himself so I asked him to act as natural as possible. Jace decided to smile.  I took this photo from above. It captures Carson Nitta having a mid-class thirst quenching cup of water.  I took this photo of Frank from the side and instructed him to act as if I wasn't there. This captures Frank as he truly is. I took this picture of Johnny from below. I off centered him and asked him to look at the camera.
