Ginger's Gift ~ an AGSM Film ~ American Girl Summer Movie

It's easy to compare ourselves to others- especially when it comes to our talents. Ginger Roswell, a 7th grader who is passionate about photography, struggles with this problem. She wants to enter the National Doll Photography Contest, but doubts her skill as a good photographer. Things only get worse when Ginger accidentally breaks her camera and has to spend her summer doing odd jobs in order to purchase a new one. When all her normal job options have been exhausted, Ginger's last attempt leaves her with a lesson learned... and possibly a new friendship.
After 17,700 pictures and many hours of editing, our summer film is finally complete! I am SO excited to release this AGSM film. We hope you enjoy!

Ugh I'm just crying from how much I love this film and how I, and possibly so many other agigers can relate to it. This was so phenomenal and it felt like I was watching a real movie on Netflix!! not to mention, the music was absolutely PERFECT! Just every aspect of this stop motion was so incredible. Thank you for making this film that made me feel so happy and not alone, and that was so inspirational. This was just such a marvelous masterpiece!😍😍😍😍

[@evangelinemae3112]

Hello, This stopmotion was amazing! Not only the quality but the storyline! This story inspires me to do stopmotions. I have done some already but I use Zoom meetings on my computer to record them, to make them stopmotiony I use the pause button, I don't have a camera, and I don't have a editing system. -_- Its hard! I watch other channels like this and wish I had a channel of my own. This video is so touching. Thank you so much! :D God bless you!

[@christophersampson4739]

how do you do it i love it😇

[@dollfamilyproductions4942]

Oh my cows potatoes, where do I even begin? I could no relate more to this, for this was so similar to my experience on agig where I could not stop comparing my photos to other people. Unfortunately, I eventually stopped taking photos and switched over to stop motions only to realize filming was my true passion. But unfortunately, now I'm in the habit of comparing my films to other people's as well.😔 However, after watching this astonishing work of art and hearing the advice from Granny Opal😃 I want to continue to do my style of filming no matter what. This was such an outstanding film and I wish I had seen it sooner so I could stop tormenting myself and comparing myself. This was inspirational, amazing, oustanding, and the sets were absolutely phenomenal too! Wonderful work, and I'm so glad you have 1,000 subscribers now, I was waiting for you to blow up!👍🏾❤💖

Hi I love the video it’s so smooth and nice! I have some questions if you don’t mind What do you film with? How do you film the voices?

[@DollDaysYouTube]

Hello, BrianaSullivan! Thanks for the questions--I am happy to answer them. First, I film with my camera, which is a Canon EOS Rebel T6i. I also record voices on my camera. By hooking up my microphone to it, I can get clear voiceovers for my videos. I hope this helps!

[@4dollsandamovie]

This was incredible! After hearing you talk about this film of yours in your, "How I..." videos, I was pretty excited to watch it. And boy, did you live up to my expectations! I am so impressed with how much effort you put into it; the movie has a good, clean and organized feel to it, the plot was set up in the storyline perfectly, and I'm blown away by your adorable props! My favorite part was when Ginger was washing the windows with the little realistic-looking washcloth with suds on it. Well done! 9.5/10 - 4 Dolls and a Movie Honorable Mention: I found it interesting in the babysitting scene to find that you're one of the first I've seen to exploit what I call an unspoken fact we all somewhat agree with that Welliwisher dolls are the younger generation in the doll world.
