Metamorphosis Animation




The project goal is for our team to pitch their 2 best focus statements & story ideas, then complete a collaborative production plan all together before producing their 1-2 minute animated movie with custom soundtrack. The people that are on our team are, Taylor, Mele, Me and Micah. The type of animation types we will be using are stop-motion and also whiteboard animation. Stop-motion for the more active scenes and whiteboard for like the less movement ones. Another goal for this animation project is to get everyone to work on what they have to do not make other people do it for them. We believe that stop-motion and whiteboard are the best choices because we are kind of more experienced with using those techniques from past animation projects.

Our focus statement is "Rock Sprouts Flower" and basically its about a dirty old rock that gets kicked and thrown around and then eventually it gets thrown into the ocean. A little girl walks along the shoreline of the beach and the rock washes up right next to her foot. In the first scene, it shows the rock getting kicked and then someone picks it up and throws it. In the second scene, The girl is walking on the beach and the rock washes up and then she picks the rock up. In the third scene, she walks home and she places the rock on her desk. In the fourth scene, Taylor takes the rock to wherever she goes and the flower on the rock starts to sprout. In the fifth scene, she notices the little flower on the rock and at the end the flower become beautiful and big. The conflict is a sad looking rock gets thrown and kicked around. The resolution to the conflict is that the rock gets found and cared for by a little girl.

The critique of my team and I was pretty accurate for our metamorphosis animation project. We got mostly threes and I agree with that because our project could’ve been better but everyone learns from their mistakes. Even though we could've done better on our metamorphosis, In the amount of time that we had we tried to do out best but didn't reach our full potential. Our scenes were high quality so maybe thats why we finished our animation right before our critique. Overall, I am pretty proud of what we made and hopefully will be better next time.

  1. I really like the acting in your animation it felt like it was done professionally.
    One thing that I would fix on your animation is the audio.
    But besides that this animation was super cute and smooth flowing. Great job!

  7. I like how the rock changes into a flower. That's a cool idea, and definitely not something that normally happens. Good music too!
