Metamorphosis Animation

The last project we did was an animation project with a metamorphosis theme. My team (Kaylene, Izo, Audrey, and me) took the assignment really literally. We had to use at least two different types of animations. Our group used stop-motion, digital animation and claymation. The video we made was about a rock that wasn't happy with being a rock, so she decided to become a human; that was the focus of our animation "Rock Alters Self". The first scene, was stop-motion. In it the rock discovers a magic wand, then he picks up the wand and it slowly turns him into a golem. At this point the stop-motion turns into claymation. After he turns into a golem he drops the wand and then picks it up again. Using digital animation, the wand makes him shrink into a little dot and then grow into a human. A that point it turns back into stop-motion, and the now human rock puts down the wand and then disappears.

We were critiqued by our characters, sets, and props (all in one group). We were also critiqued on our creativity, originality and execution, which was also in one group. Those two groups were scored from "Room for improvement" to "Meets Requirements" to "Above and Beyond!". Our critiques were very good. For our characters, sets and props, 74% of people thought we were "Above and Beyond!", and 26% said we were at "Meets Requirements". For our creativity, originality, and execution, 70% of the people said that we were "Above and Beyond!", and the other 30% said we were at the "Meets Requirements" level. The results are in the picture below.
