Metamorphosis Animation

In my GT class's newest project, we were required to create our own animations. Myteam was made up of Mikela Puig, Brittain McGinnis, Sydney Nice, and myself. Our theme was "Metamorphosis". Metamorphosis means one thing changing into another. In our animation, we showcased an unimportant and ordinary rock, overlooked by society. We planned to bring this rock to life, and serve a purpose. Our focus statement, or theme of our project was "Rocky Becomes A Hero". Another requirement was that we had to use two different types of animation. Well, we decided to be above and beyond and used three types. We had used stop-motion, claymation, and digital animation.

The story that our animation tells is about a rock that we decided to name "Rocky Louise Armstrong". This ordinary rock goes through a shocking transformation; from "Zero To Hero". This rock gains a humanoid stature, and goes through a portal to the digital world. In the digital world, he sees a building on fire, and armed with his new appearance and trusty mustache, rushes to the rescue. After putting out the fire, the citizens praise him with their gratitude. Afterwards, he transforms back into a rock. My group and I really like the concept of an obviously overlooked character or object will serve a purpose to help those around him; like an unexpected hero theme.
