Metamorphosis Animation

P3T3 Metamorphosis from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.


Behind The Scenes 
Story Board
Our goal for this project "Metamorphosis Animation."- Using the project rubric, every animation teams will create a presentation to pitch their 2 BEST,  metamorphosis animation focus statements & story ideas to the class, then finish their production plan & storyboard before making your 1-2 minute animated movie with a custom soundtrack or foley. Right now we are creating a slide show of our our pitches to be presented in front of the class. My team for this project is of course me (Returning 7th grader), Coral Haeger (Returning 7th grader), and Aftan Dodd (New 6th grader). How we picked each other for our project was we all know each other and we had to have at least 1-2 returning GT student and 1-2 new GT student. I am the team leader for this project.

Visual Storyboard
Our focus statement is Seahorse Discovers Kindness. We presented our ideas to the class and they choose Seahorse Discovers Kindness. Each is about how this crab named Joe that is really mean and is ungrateful for what he has so he moves to another reef. Joe meets this seahorse named Fred who makes him this soup and Joe doesn't want it and drops it and the blow shatters. Joe gets cut by the bowl and turns into a seahorse. He starts to notice everything he should be grateful for, like a reef over his head, and having Fred as his friend. The plot or main event is how after Joe gets hurt and changes into a seahorse he becomes a kinder person. When Joe goes back to his home reef he teaches people to appreciate everything they have.

Critique Results
Reflecting our teams results we got a 3/4 on this project for our final grade. I wish we could have got a 4/4  and I can see why we got a 3/4, but if we worked a little bit better on making scenes and creating shots and really making the quality 100% I think we could have got a 4/4. Im glad we didn't get a lower grade than a 3/4 because that would have brought our grade down more. I liked the sound effects and the audio we put into our animation video. Even though there were challenging parts of this project, it was still fun to learn from. If I had the choice to do this project again I wouldn't choose this project, maybe another project like a movie trailer, or a teacher interview with a teacher we choose.
