Making my final video
First I dragged all my images from my memory stick into iMovie. I did them individually because iMovie likes to mess up the order of your pictures if you drag them in a group which is really annoying.
When I'd added all my photos, I edited the effects on them to 'fit' so that they wouldn't zoom in when they played. I was going to crop my images to get rid of the shadows at the edge of the screen but it would have been really hard to make all my pictures the same size and get the cup in the same place each time.
Once I'd edited the effects on my photos, I changed the playing time of each image from 4 seconds to 0.2 seconds. I chose this time because it plays the images like they're a video but it's slow enough so you can tell that they're separate pictures and not an actual video.
When I was happy with the way my video played, I needed to download a song to put in the background of it. I looked at the effects that come with iMovie first but none of them seemed to fit my video. I couldn't think of a suitable song so I asked my friends what song I should use and one of them suggest Ed Sheeran - Cold Coffee. I downloaded the song using a Youtube-mp3 converting website and then added the song to my video.
Finally, I exported my movie as the medium size and saved it to my Desktop.
Rymdreglage - 8-bit trip
This video was made by Rymdreglages and it took 1500 hours of moving legobricks around. I really like this video because there are so many different ideas put into it, and it doesn't get boring as the video goes on. This video would have taken a lot of planning and it would have probably been done on the computer.

"Coraline" Official Trailer
Henry Selick is an American stop motion director, producer and writer who is best known for directing The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach and Coraline. He's worked with Walt Disney and Pixar aswell as doing freelance work. I really like his work because it's aimed at all age groups which gives a wider audience range.

Making Coffee - Stop Motion
I like the idea of doing something simple like making a cup of coffee, so I might make a stop-motion video like this at home. It shouldn't be to difficult to make so I should be able to do couple of short videos.
