The new project we are doing is metamorphosis animation (as you can see in the title). It is mostly about change. We teamed up with other people to make this project happen. I got my team (Gavin and Alex) by random and talked about some great and not-so-great ideas. Some of the ideas I had was sean sees world which is basically about a sad boy that didn't really understand the world and the fun that is with it.Then, one day he finally decides to explore what he was missing on. We had no idea what focus statements we were going to use, but we came up with the focus statements: Flower finds Beauty and Hermit Embraces Society. We presented a pitch and we got approval for Hermit Embraces Society and that is what we are working on.
We finally decided that we were going to Hermit Embraces Society. Our focus statement is mostly about a selfish (shellfish) and grumpy hermit crab that lives in magical mountain lake turning human and finds a village that welcomes him. That was our original idea, but then Alex decided to change it. So the plot is now: Hermit lives in the mountain in a lake a fish asks him to play, but rejects her. He becomes human and he decides to go down the mountain. He finds a village. The villagers of the village welcome him and he makes new friends. The fish from the lake turns into human and goes to the village and she and hermit becomes best friends.
We just did our final critique on February 14, 2016 (Valentine's day). I was nervous at first, but I relaxed after a while. We got 2.7, but I think Mr. Sanderl is nice enough that he’ll round it into a 3. Even though our soundtrack is amazing, I do agree with the score, we got. The audio is kind of a little too loud and our voice acting wasn’t the best. However, even if we got rated 2.7, the project was over all fun and really interesting to do. I'll give you a little clue on what's the next project is. Our next project has to do with movies. Anyways going back to the critique, we had fun watching the awesome animations the other teams made. We even had a few laughs and the critique was just great!
