I feel like at this point I have at least tried all of the skills when it comes to Stop Motion and using Stop Motion Studio that I feel comfortable trying right now without pushing myself too far and trying skills that I wouldn’t be able to master. Now is the time to start working on my final project.

I started by asking the help of my class for ideas for script/story line. This was a lot of fun as I only gave them a few parameters to work with. I have a lot of LEGO at home… I gave them the ideas of Star Wars, Harry Potter and The Simpsons to work with. I also gave them the option to come up with an original idea as I have a lot of regular LEGO that isn’t affiliated with any sets. We bounced some ideas around the class, some absolutely ridiculous and some were actually pretty good. It was a really good opportunity to hang out with my class in a casual setting and for them to get to know that I am still participating in creative projects as a student right now as well!

I have started coming up with some of my own ideas based off of what they brought forward and I’m making some progress. The idea of a Star Wars/Harry Potter crossover could be a lot of fun, and also hilarious. I’m still open to ideas! If anyone has any fun ideas of how I could incorporate the themes that I proposed above, that would be amazing! I think I’m going to have a lot of fun putting together my final project and can’t wait to really get going on it!

Let me know if you’ve got any fun ideas as well!
