Radial Balanced Flower Mandala Summer Learning Journey Rua

Today in my summer learning journey I made a stop motion animation with a radial mandala using flowers, leaves and other materials found outside. Did you know, stop motion animation is how they make some cartoons? I never knew that until today! 

I chose to use the flowers I used because that was what was in my garden outside. My favourite of all the flowers was the yellow rose that I used a few of the petals from. We had to make it with radial symmetry which means it looks the same all the way around no matter what angle you look at it from. 

Stop motion uses images. you take a photo of each thing then move something a tiny bit by bit and take photos. together all the photos make a video. 

I found it tricky to add music to the stop motion because I would usually use WeVideo to make it but I have used it too much and have reached my limit so can't use it anymore. I ended up using Movavi. Another challenge I came across making this video was my camera is on my laptop built in but I needed to make a video from above. I had to think hard about it and then remembered over lockdown my brother had to use a plug in web cam. I used his plug in web cam and faced it downwards so I could make my stop motion. 

Thank you for reading my blog, so here is my video!

And here is how I made it.
