Meiosis Stop Motion Project
Introduction
For my stop motion project I decided to work with Nathan on the process of Meiosis. During the project we worked hard together and did our best on producing the project. We got to combine our knowledge and collaborate and what we would like to do with the model, script, and more. In the video, you will see how we used our separate strengths and how it made the project better.

Analysis Questions
Why did you decide to model Mitosis or Meiosis-one over the other? Be Specific!
My partner and I choose to model meiosis since we figured after modelling mitosis it would be easier for us to model Meiosis, as well we wanted to challenge ourselves and see if we could grow our knowledge of Meiosis.
What was the most challenging thing in making your movie?
Personally, the most challenging part of making the movie was creating the model of Meiosis in under an hour and twenty-minutes. I felt under pressure to finish the video with my partner since we only had one block to do it due to the pro-d day. Gladly, I can say that my partner and I were resilient about this and finished in the block.
What was the easiest thing to do in making your movie?
The easiest part of creating the movie was the editing process. It didn’t take long for me to complete editing this video since it wasn’t long at all. As well, the voice over was easy since there was a script made before doing anything.
How could you improve your movie?
One way my partner and I could improve our movie would be by getting better pictures. Since we were in a rush we didn’t pay enough attention the how to camera is moving or where the model is in the picture. Therefore, the video could be improved by better photography.
Thinking about how you worked with your partner, what were some of the challenges and the successes of working in a group?
Working with Nathan was a pleasure. We work really well together, and we go to use our strengths in the project to make the project better. One challenge was not getting enough time with each other to work on the project, and one success or working in a duo with Nathan was dividing the work into half.
Why is Mitosis important? In other words, what is the point of cells performing Mitosis?
Mitosis is the division of a single cell into two daughter cells that are identical (cell division). Mitosis is the process through which a single cell splits into two identical cells. Therefore, the point of cells performing Mtiosis is mostly used to increase cell growth and replacement.
Why is Meiosis important? In other words, what is the point of cells performing Meiosis?
Meiosis is a process that produces gametes, or sex cells. Four daughter cells are formed during meiosis. Therefore, the point of cells performing Meiosis is to produce sex cells.
