To do stop motion animation at home, you will need several basic home supplies such as:  A laptop or computer that can process video data. A webcam that is detached from your laptop or computer. A flat, stable surface like a desk. Masking tape. Basic animation software. To create the stop motion animation, you will need to capture each frame of the animation so they create a complete animation when you edit them together. To do this, you will draw one frame of the animation, capture it, and then change the animation a little bit, and then capture the next frame. You will do this until you have animated the entire movie. You can use your storyboards as a guide for each animation you will be drawing.  Start by attaching a sheet of paper to the table with masking tape all the way around the paper. This will ensure that you place all the sheets of paper in exactly the same position so the animation appears smooth and fluid. Place the webcam on another surface so it is looking down on the paper. Tape the webcam to a surface so it is at the perfect angle. Try taping the webcam to the side of the desk lamp and then positioning the desk lamp so it shines right on the paper. This will ensure your light source and the webcam are always facing the paper. Plug the webcam into your computer so the captured images are uploaded to the animation program on your computer. Once you have set up your home movie studio, you can begin to draw and capture your movie. Draw your first picture and capture four identical frames so you have enough video during the editing process. As well, adding extra time at the beginning of the animation will make it look smoother when you play it back and edit it.  Add to the existing drawing and capture two more frames. Continue to add to the drawing and capture two frames of every change. If you need to start a new scene or make a big change to the drawing, you can start the drawing on a new sheet of paper. Place the new sheet on top of the first piece of paper and trace around any elements in the first sheet of paper that you are going to use in your next frame. Then, remove the first piece of paper and replace it with the new piece of paper. Continue to add to the drawing or add a new drawing, capturing each change in two frames, until you have completed the movie. Once you have put together a rough version of your cartoon film, you should watch it from start to finish. Take notes as you watch it, marking down any scenes that feel too long or unnecessary to the story. You should also make sure there is continuity in every scene of the film, where all the props used are consistent from shot to shot.  You may need to reshoot certain shots or scenes by re drawing them or taking an existing drawing and changing it. You should always shoot two frames of your edited drawings so you have enough footage to add into the final draft of the movie.

summary: Gather your supplies. Set up a home movie studio. Draw and capture each scene of the movie. Edit the cartoon movie to make a final cut.

There are three primary career fields for sports psychologists. Which field you'd like to concentrate in will determine the focus of your studies and the scope of your internship/work experience. The three fields are:  academic jobs - teaching sports psychology coursework and conducting research at a university applied psychology jobs - training athletes and working with entire sports teams to enhance team performance, motivation, and endurance  clinical psychology jobs - working one-on-one with athletes and coaches to teach coping skills, work through stress and performance anxiety, and address any underlying psychological issues Some degree programs require an internship as a mandatory part of your education, and for good reason. Internships are an excellent way to gain experience in your field, add credentials to your resume, and make network connections that could last a lifetime.  Try getting involved in sports, or at least following a team and learning the basics of the game. You'll ideally be working with athletes, so it's best to understand what athletes go through on a daily basis.  Your college/graduate/doctoral program may offer specialized internships through some type of partnership. You can find internships by reaching out to a practice you'd like to work with, or by searching the APA website for internships in your area. Professional organizations are not a requirement for work in sports psychology, but they can help you build professional contacts and may open new career doors to you down the line. Some of the most common professional associations for sports psychologists include:  Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) American Psychological Association (APA), Division 47 International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP) North American Society for Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA)

summary: Choose an area of concentration. Take an internship. Join a professional association.


Summarize the following:
Maybe she is copying you because she likes your style, personality, or another aspect of your person. Stay positive and look to lead by example rather than belittle or bemoan.  Take into consideration that she may not even realize that she is mimicking you but is doing so out of a subconscious admiration. Examine your idols and mentors and whether or not you have incorporated any aspects of her being into who you are: how would you want her reacting to you if she knew you were looking up to her? Part of what gives celebrities their value is that they aren’t directly exposed to those they influence whereas you most likely will see the person who is copying you quite frequently. Acknowledge that someone copying your style doesn’t make you less unique. By acknowledging what makes you unique, you accept that you are your own person and you can then impart the same sense of self-confidence to the person copying you. Compliment whatever you feel she is copying of yours especially if it is a different take than your own. For example, if you feel that she has been copying the way you wear pumps with jeans, compliment her when she chooses flats. Realize that she may be extremely insecure and her self-esteem may be fragile or non-existent. Focus on what you can change rather than what you can’t control. Adopting a new style can provide you with an opportunity to evaluate what matters to you and what truly composes your sense of style.  Keep your preferences to yourself. If she is copying your style or mannerisms, try to change things up for a period of time. This will force her to look for other inspirations.  Look to other style icons and deconstruct what elements you’d like to adopt as your own; better yet, have a discussion with her about what style you think suits the both of you individually. A person imitating someone else may be very insecure, so give her a boost of confidence by keeping positive. With your help, she may eventually develop her own sense of style and self worth. Confidence can empower the both of you.   Copying can be a developmental phase or a sign that a person is feeling empty. Recognize the power of friendship and communication. Enlist the aid of others within your common circle. Just because she is copying you doesn’t mean that you are alone in the situation. Including others can help her find her own sense of self from gleaning from a larger sample size. If someone is copying your work, chances are that she doesn’t fully understand the instructions or her personal schedule has put her behind the deadline and she sees you as a reliable source. Politely state that she should be doing her own work because both of you could get into trouble and, more importantly, she is not learning from the given assignment. We all have different aptitudes so be patient with others who have trouble learning something you find easy.  As the old adage goes, “give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you’ll feed him for a lifetime.” Rather than give someone complete access to your work, address the problem at its root and find out why she is copying your work. Whether it’s a problem in comprehension or scheduling, identifying why someone is copying your work will avoid any repeat infractions.
summary: Consider why she is copying you. Approach the topic subtly. Consider changing your style or mannerisms. Treat the person as you want to be treated. Offer help to someone copying you at school or in the office.
