Entry Title:

How to Build a Birdhouse

Project Description:

I love to build things with my dad. We are always watching birds, and I thought it would be fun to build them a house. I just got an iPad for Christmas and used the stop-motion app to do this. It was my first time making my own stop-motion video, and I can't wait to make more. I had to shorten the things I said because the photos moved too fast, even at the slowest speed. This video stars my dad and me. I did not do any editing and I know some of my pictures are not the right orientation because I am still learning how to use this program.
