You should now be working on the Create - Criterion D.

According to the IBO: 

Students are expected to document, with a series of photographs or a video and a dated record, the process of making their product/solution, including when and how they use tools, materials and techniques.  Students are expected to follow their plan, to evaluate the plan and to justify any changes they make to the plan while they are creating the product/solution.  This means that you must have a process journal and that it is a necessary component of this criterion.

Please look at the Stop Motion Video Rubric: https://www.box.com/s/bc6f80265cfae8b683bc 

another rubric: http://artsmarts2011.blogspot.pt/2011/03/stop-motion-animation-project-rubric.html

Learning Objective:  The student will: use a range of appropriate techniques and equipment competently; ensure a safe working environment for themselves and others; and create a product/solution of appropriate quality.

What is a storyboard? According to Wikipedia, "Storyboards are graphic organizers in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, ..." This is particularly pertinent in relation to our current project. Creating a storyboard will help you plan your animation out shot by shot. You can make changes to your storyboard before you start animating, instead of after you have begun your video potentially saving you loads of time. (For more info check out this link: http://accad.osu.edu/womenandtech/Storyboard%20Resource/.)

Do a quick keyword search (storyboard template) on Google to get ideas to produce your own storyboard.

Now, onto the DESIGN (Criterion B).
You need to produce two (2) different complete storyboards for you movie and to evaluate each against your design specification.  Then you need to choose one of the designs and write a paragraph justifying your choice.
According to the IBO:
"Students are expected to generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.
Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.
To get a 5/6: The student generates a range of feasible designs, each evaluated against the design specification. The student justifies the chosen design and evaluates it fully and critically against the design specification."

IB Learner Profile: Risk-taker

Learning Objective: generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification; evaluate the designs against the specification; select one design andjustify its choice.

Hahahaha - so cute I just had to share it with you . . .

Continue working on your designs.  Remember that you need to create 2 full storyboards to fulfill requirements;-)
