Stop Motion Idea.

Braiden and I have decided to make our stop motion a video of the building of a house of cards. We will also be deconstructing the house of cards by burning it to the ground. To start off we will show the deck and then slowly take the cards out, and begin to build our house level by level. The background we will use will be an opened cardboard box so the background will never change. The camera we will use will be the camera built into our Samsung Galaxy phones, considering the fact that they have a rapid photo mode. We got the idea from a few videos such as this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVoqud4B50Y. We are unsure if we are going to use a cell phone app or not but if we do it will be to put the pictures together.

This picture  was taken just out of Nipigon on "Polly Lake" Canada day weekend. From Nipigon we take a fifteen minute quad ride down Cameron falls road to a boat launch on the Nipigon River. Usually me and my friends take a 14 ft long boat down the River too the mouth that opens into "Lake Helen". Lake Helen runs along highway 11 and connects to Polly lake. Polly lake is used mostly throughout the summer months as a place for people in the Nipigon area to go camp and get away. There's about 72 camps on Polly, including a public beach, and boat launch for people just looking for a day of fun. Throughout the summer me and my friends try to spend as much time as we can on Polly fishing. The fish caught in Polly are usually big pike, pickerel, and perch.

This is a photo i took of an older picture sitting around my house. The original was taken in my old house, with my first dog "Jam". Jam was in my family from when i was a year old to 11. We were best friends and did everything together, from walking to the store to getting scared during storms she was right there. The reason i included her into our Canadian culture Exchange is because she was such a big part of my childhood, and i think that's good for the people reading my blog to know a little about how i got to where i am now. I have had 3 dogs since Jam but she will always be my favorite dog because she was always there.

This picture was taken on the "Bald Spot" with my pet dog Jasper. The Bald Spot is what we call the mountain that overlooks my town of Nipigon. The reason we call it the Bald Spot is because where I am standing on the mountain there is no trees that grow and its just flat rock. This is during our spring season where the snow was slowly melting. This represents Canadian culture because our winter's are always very long and full of snow.

This picture was taken at Loftquist Lake, ontop of the mountain looking over the lake. Loftquist is located just outside of Nipigon where i live, and is a very important part of everyone's life. In the summer there is a public beach and a floating dock where anyone who wants to cool off can go. Me and my friends also use the lake to go boating, tubing, and knee boarding.  The spring and winter season is the best time for fishing, where we can catch Speckled Trout, Walleye, And "Splake's". During the winter when the lake freezes over we can go ice fishing, and catch the same fish. The day i took this picture me and my friends took a trail up the front of Loftquist mountain and enjoyed the view.
