The final outcome
This is our final video :) Hope you enjoy it!
remember :
REDUCE
REUSE
RECYCLE!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Happy Happy! 3 R's
3 R's
After days of work and thousands of photos later, our project was complete. I thought it went really well and if I was to make another stop motion video I would happily use Zu3D and paper again. It was easy to use and completely up to us what to make and how to go about doing it. I feel that from such a simple program it makes quite an effective video and everyone we've shown has been impressed. This has been one of my favorite projects through out the whole of uni and I know I will definitely use this idea when hopefully on my PGCE next year and in the future even though 7 months ago I never thought Id be able to write a blog let along use other forms of technology.
Thank you Mandy

The music
I never thought choosing music for a video could be so hard. Oh I was wrong. it took us a whole day of trying out songs to get the right one. We tried slow music, fast music, music with no words, and then at the very end we had the idea of "The 3 R's" song which is about recycling as well.
After we put it together we knew it was the correct choice and watched it about 10 times before saving it about 100 times to every device we could find in the house.
Below is the song we chose.

The making
Today we started making our film. It took us about an hour to get the camera and lighting right by using every item we could find in the kitchen to attatch the web cam to. Then we were off. Because we had planed everything the day before it all seemed to go smoothly and was loads of fun as we are both very creative people any way.
Problems we faced
There were a few small problems faced during the first day however we learnt for the next days. Firstly we started off without using glue/ blue tack etc which was very tricky when using lots of small shapes (leaves) which could easily change place from the smallest thing e.g breathing too hard or by me coughing. To over come this the following day we used glue and white tack to hold things in position for the shots.
Secondly a problem we faced was having to press the paper down and wait for it to rise until it was just in the shadow of the last picture so that we could take it. This was very tedious and took an awful long time however was worth it.
Lastly the speed of the video was tricky as the writing was quite slow where as the other slides were quite fast. We even had to redo one of the slides when the birds bring down the paper because it went so quick you didn't have time to read it.

Final project 2
Now we had decided we wanted to use paper and Zu3D, we had to decide what the story line was going to be. After thinking of many different ideas we decided to go with recycling as that week was the week the 3 bin bag rule had been introduced. Initially we were going to do all types of recycling however we then decided to focus on recycling paper as that is what we were using to make this video. We planed what we would need so that we had the whole day to go out and get it. The list was as followed:
After we had gathered all the equipment we intended on going in to uni and doing it there where we could use the web cam. This plan however failed as the lighting was not right so Mandy kindly lent us the web cam for us to do at home. The rest of the day we spent brain storming ideas fr the video so we could get started the next day. We thought of all the different things and shapes you could make with paper and then thought of ways to tie them in with recycling.
- Large piece of blue card (background)
- Lots of white paper
- Colored card
- Glue
- sellotape
- pens
- pencils
- ruler
- scissors
- laptop
- web cam
- free 7 day trial of Zu3D

Final Project week 1
For my final project Jess and I originally decided to do it using clay motion. We spent a few days making all the figures and back drops ready to start. HOWEVER the following Wednesday we were introduced to Zu3D where we had a go using paper to make a video and really enjoyed. This changed our path completely as we now decided we wanted to use paper an the main theme of our project and to also use Zu3D rather than movie maker.
