For the past quarter Kellen and I have been making a claymation movie on Leif Eriksson. All of the movies had seven scenes, a title and credits. The finished products are all quite good.
The most enjoyable part, hmmm, I liked taking the pictures. Mostly that's only because it had nothing to do with the six year old computers. I also liked actually making the figures because they were slightly customizable. They also didn't have anything to do with the computers.
Definitely the most difficult part was the eight year old computers. Ours were so slow that once we wasted an entire class period trying to transfer one item! It took at least five minutes to save anything. It also kept on deleting a quicktime file that would have been useful. They had a looooong lag time too. Well, for mast of it at least.
The most interesting thing I learned was probably that it is usually a good idea to have a dedicated stop motion software.

Isaac, I'm glad I had a chance to see your movie! Despite all the hassles you had with the older computers and mediocre software, I was able to understand a lot more about Leif Eriksson. Way to go!
cool, I like Leif Eriksson. I learned about him a few weeks ago in school when we were learning about Christopher Columbus. It's funny how he was probably the first one to land on America. Well, good luck on your movie.
