Last year when the personal projects where announced I decided (taking from the online reviewer craze) to do a parody of a movie that I didn’t like: Avatar. But not only that make a parody, a CLAYMATION parody. I liked the way claymation moved and I knew I could accomplish a lot more with flexible and maneuverable figurines. I watched some clips online and it did not look too hard. I tried thinking myself doing just that but then realized that although avatar is in fact a bad movie it was not the laughably funny type of movie. So I decided to to a movie about a Robot Pirate Ninja War. But then realizing that I hat not nearly enough time to do so. Over the summer I thought about what to do until I saw an action flash online and decided to do just that. A silly action claymation.

Today I first started seriously discussing my project. First I wrote as detailed as I possibly could the basic steps of how I will be making everything. Then Me and dad edited that list slightly and put it on Microsoft excel. We added some time limits on the project and discussed where we could have my basic set. After Some discussion we decided that the Sauna is the best undisturbed place for me to do the project because mom and dad wouldn’t go to it for a while. Dad realized that I will be needing programs for editing and helped me look for some good online programs for stop motion. And as a pre-thought decided that we should make a small short carton within 2 weeks time (the first week we gather materials and on shoot and the next week we edit) in order to test if I could make this thing work. We made a list of from which person I can get the materials from.
