Response to comments on my animation

This is my response to the comments I have received on my animation. First off, I do agree with many of the comments in response to my animation. The music worked well with the animation and it was very smooth, however I feel that I could have made some improvements, for example perhaps shown the figure of Jason on the video more as throughout London and Italy not much more than his head could be seen. I think the video was not too long and not too short so the time was perfect. I would have added information about the music on the end credits but at the time when I wrote the credits I had not got the music so I did not know what it was going to be. I have enjoyed working on this StopMotion Animation.

How I made my animation

Now my animation is complete I will explain how I made it. First off, I had to decide exactly what I wanted my animation to be. Since I have an interest in traveling I decided it would be about that. I managed to take some screenshots from Google Maps of the UK, Europe and Italy. I also got printed off a small figure which was Jason from the 1980s film "Friday The 13th". I printed off pictures of Westminster in London and the Colosseum in Rome. I created in iStopMotion the figure walking from England to Italy and showing the pictures of the 2 cities. After the animation was created I added titles and credits in iMovie and added music in Garageband. The music was traveling music found on YouTube. Here are some screenshots from iStopMotion and Garageband.
