Metamorphosis Animation



What's up guys, I'm back with another project we're working on in class! For this project we are doing animation! ( Hence the title ) Last year we did animation yet the story type is somewhat different. I'll link last years post at the bottom. Last year was life lessons, this year is about metamorphosis. For this project we have to animate a story where our main character transforms into something else. For example: A mouse turning into a lion, A ghost turning into a human, or a king turning into a rat. The goal for this project is to create a 1-2 minute animation using Stop-Motion, PhotoShop, Flip Book, Whiteboard, and Stykz animation. During this animation your character must go through a change both mentally and physically.

Our story is called Witch Explains Selflessness. There's this prince named Nevan and he is getting crowned king at his ceremony. After ceremony there's this witch who walks up to the King and starts to give him a blessing, but King judges her based off her looks, quickly rejects her and immediately banishes her from kingdom. Because of this the witch gets angry at the king, curses him by turning him into a rat and sending him to the center of the kingdom. Hoping this will teach him a lesson. Suddenly king (who is now a rat) is in the middle of the kingdom, dodging feet and running franticly trying to find safety.He gets kicked into a sewer and tries to find company, but the moment he tries to make friends they instantly reject him and he is left all alone. With no food. Can you imagine? 😭 🚫🍔 The king leaves and goes further into the sewer. As he goes further into the sewer he finds an old wise rat. The rat tells him that he is treating the witch like how he being is treated as a rat.
The King goes back to the witch and tells her he understands his mistake and is going to be a better ruler. When he is king again, he allows the witch back into the kingdom, and he treats all the common people fairly.



Whew and after about EIGHT WEEKS of working on this animation we are finally done! We had our critique yesterday and our results were pretty good! We used Menti to grade each others work. We got many 3.7s and 3.6 on every category. I think that the results I got were accurate because our animation was nice but there is room for improvement in everything. Check out the link below to last years animation and catch me in the next blog post! Bye!✌❤☺
