So I chose to make one

3. Research Paper
I wrote my research paper on- Hand-drawn and Stop Motion Animation Are Down But Not Out
Connection to Project- I made a hand-drawn animation
Basic Thesis- Hand-drawn and Stop Motion animation may be used less but they are still thriving forms of animation
What I learned- I learned that these forms of animation still thrive thanks to many companies even though 3D animation seems to be becoming the more typically used version
Conclusion- Because they are still produced then they are not dead art forms

9. Time Invested Total Hours: 43 Hours 19 Minutes
 - Which is 28 Hours and 19 Minutes extra
Reason: because hand drawn animation requires that you draw every scene and every movement frame by frame
 - Also drawings must all line up or your have to start over 

10. Future Applications Learned- Animation takes longer than I thought
More drawing than originally anticipated
New respect for all animators
Worth it
Applications to Future-
Despite the time, I would not mind keeping this as at least a hobbie as well as painting

11. Disadvantage Change What I would change-
Disadvantage- Schedule time better around moving
Disadvantage- use better camera to get pictures
Maybe add some frames to the animation if the time allowed
Disadvantage

12. ADVICE Advice Advice to others- Start your project early
Plan plenty of time
Don’t procrastinate
Set due dates for yourself

13. Key Points Conclusion Review Main Points- Overall Fun project
Keep this and painting as a hobby
Hand-drawn & Stop motion animation are still viable
I made this animation as a testament to that and to my cousin
My Thanks
