One of the hardest rules to come up with an animation for was the straight ahead and pose to pose. It was hard to think of an idea that would demenstrate it as a finished product rather than a tutorial. The easiest to come up with an idea for was staging. As a theather student, I am already familiar with the concept of staging since it is something you have to be aware about while performing to an audience. Since I was already familiar with this concept it was much easier to come up with an idea for. I did not enjoy doing this project. As much as I like animation, it was frustrating for me to work with stop motion since it is a very tedious process and I had to start over quite a few times so that I could make some work out. Planning out precisely where things go was difficult, and I did not enjoy that process of putting it together.
