Metamorphosis Animation

Hi everyone, I'm so excited to be posting again. Sorry it's been so long, we have been very busy with our newest project, our animations!!! That's right, we did animations!! It was most definitely the best project so far, as we got to work in garage band and a whole lot of new programs!! Garage band was so fun, I love music!! So anyway, our animation (And by our, I mean my group, Lani, Talia, Kasiah and me) was about Artemis, Greek goddess of the hunt, being turned into a puppy by the horrible titans. We used Stykz, claymation, and stop motion to really make our story come to life. Our project was to make our characters morph into something else, and to grow and change. According to our scores in our class critique, we did pretty well. The video is underneath, if you want to see it.

Our first scene was of Artemis sitting on her throne, when the titans come bursting in.  They turn her into a dog, and then Zeus kicks her off Olympus. In the second scene she must fight a horrible sea monster, but then they become friends and the monster gives her a ride. Then she is trekking through a huge forest when she is attacked by an evil hydra! After facing a spider demon in our forth scene, she finally comes across the cave of the oracle of Delphi, where she begs to be turned into a goddess again. After Delphi complies, Artemis and Zeus defeat the titans, and succeed.

Our first scene was done in Stykz, by our brilliant digital animator Kasiah. (For those of you who don't know, Stykz is an animation program) The second through forth scenes are done in claymation, which is animation done with clay. All our monsters were made by Kasiah and I, and Talia made the dog with some assistance from Lani. As you probably have realized, our fifth and final scenes were done in Stykz, and our last few in stop motion, and claymation again. Talia is an excellent stop motion animator, and between Lani and I we managed to get every stop motion scene done, to say the least. Thanks to my whole brilliant team, you are all wonderful, and we really worked together well. I mean, we got second place for overall video right? but seriously, I'm so happy we got to work together, it was a great experience. And now for the video.

P.s this was supposed to go out like two months ago, so count this as last years work.
