Last summer it would be difficult for us to spend time in my friends backyard because of all the ticks. This spring, her landlord offered to spray for bugs, so she was appreciative and let him. I was surprised by this because she has several raised bed gardens. This inspired me to do a project about balance in our ecosystems, and how trying to alter ecosystems unnaturally will have adverse effects. I really wanted to do a project on birds, but I didn&#8217;t think I would be able to get reliable footage of them for a full story. I decided that my best option would be to use a cut out. I attached the hummingbird to wire and kept the motions a little silly, because the cutout itself is silly. I chose to use cutouts for the people to make the format of the hummingbird seem more intentional. I also show the speech bubbles moving in and out of frame because I think it&#8217;s funny.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Get To Know The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hqj-vQ1mpeE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project 2C Hummingbird video<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":153,"featured_media":12549,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[206,215,228],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-206","category-project-2","category-project-2c"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/153"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12545"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12620,"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12545\/revisions\/12620"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umainenewmedia.net\/nmd343\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
