Metamorphosis Animation


Hi everyone, for my next project in GT we are doing a Metamorphosis Animation. I am with a team of 8th graders, (Dana, Angela and Lilli). The goal of this project is to use Stykz and different type of animation types.. An example of a animation type we are going to use is stop-motion.
eate a google slide presentation that pitches two animation ideas to the whole GT Class, as well fill out a animation "action plan". This helps the team easily plan the jobs, slides, etc. Finally, after the pitch and the action plan, we need to create a 1 - 2 minute animation using a program known as

Our focus statement for this animation is "Death Improves Generations". Our animation starts out
with a old man named Henry. Henry is a kind and generous old man. One day, while walking down the streets, he encounters a young homeless child named Anna, who is begging for food. Henry goes into the forest to obtain freshly picked apples to feed the child. However,
when picking apples, lightning strikes in the distance, and a wildfire starts. This wildfire circles Henry, and burns everything in its way. Leaving Henry's ashes, and apple seeds. Years pass as the apple tree "absorbs" Henry's ashes, it grows into a large, healthy apple tree. One day, Anna walks into the forest, as she sits under the apple tree. Eagerly eating apples from Henry's reincarnation, (Apple Tree). In the end, Henry is apple to supply the girl he wanted to help with plenty of apples. Which can feed her for a long time.

I am actually very happy about my team's results, we were given a pretty good grade, which will most likely be a B. However, it also surprised me that we were voted the best animation in the second period of GT. It was a close call though, we only beat out the other team by 1 single point, the "tables turned" on the last voter, when they voted for our team. Since 1 more vote could have easily changed the outcome.
