Story Board

My stop motion animation. At the very started there is a guy he walking up to his truck. He gets into his truck and starters it and starts to drive. After driving for a bit and passing some trees and bushes a ramp starts to some into view and the truck starters to drive up the ramp once the truck is part way on the ramp a ring of fire starts to come across the screen and the truck jumps the ramp and goes throw the ring of fire. The truck does not make the landing throw the ring of fire and crashes and rolls once the truck is stopped the small stick man crawls out of the truck and is all okay he smiles and walks of off the screen at the end waving his arms. the final frames of my animation is the end comes across the screen then stops the truck appears on then my name and art 10 come on to screen and the end starts to move off of the screen and the final picture is Josey art 10 and the truck.

Stop Motion Back Drop

My stop motion back drop was a large green and blue paper. The blue was the sky and the green was the grass. There was a few hills in the back ground. My back drop was pretty plain because I wanted the focus to be on the truck and the action of the story. this back drop goes with my stop motion because it is of a truck driving across a field and hitting a ramp.

Stop Motion





The process I went through to create the Stop Motion Animation was much harder then I thought is was going to be. When I first started this project I created my story board then created all my objects and characters then final shot the video and then put it all on the computer and edited it on movie maker to make my final project. It takes a lot of Passions to do this project having to move the objects little by little each time and keeping everything in line so it does not move to much or to little. I thought this was fun project and I like the experience of doing it. I think my story went well along with the characters and the final stop motion video. I struggled with a few things in the proses of this animation when taking my pictures i would some time move things to much and have to go back and fix them also a few times I bumped my camera so I have to started over because I could not line it back up to the same spot. I also have some trouble with moving my objects because they were paper and I had to be careful not to rip them or damage them. If i were to do this project again I would give my self more time and used different materials for things like my characters and back stop because paper is some times hard to work with because it is so fragile. all in all i ready did enjoy this project and like my final animation.

Stop Motion Characters


I did not have many for my stop motion but the ones I did was my truck and my stick man. I created both of them by drawing and cutting them out and coloring them. My truck is not really a character but it was the many part of the story so I included it because I would call it a main character. My stick man is the person who is driving the truck.

Mural for My Town

I think this mural should be on a blank wall in Eastend because there is not many murals around town so I think this one would be a good one because it a younger was of looking at and showing showing off parts of our town. I think it will give people a bit of and idea about eastend and how we are know for our T-Rex and rolling hills. I think that it represents Eastend in a good way. First with the dinosaur Because of the T-Rex's center which I think is a large part of Eastend. Also I think that the rolling hills on the bottom of the mural show the landscape of rolling hills that surround Eastend. Then the graffiti written Eastend it show the towns name off in a new younger looking way. I used bright colors of blue and yellow for Eastend to make it stand out more. I used the half blue, half yellow letter to make it brighter and more colorful also with the purple back ground to add a bit more colors because I thought it need to pop out a bit more. the shape of the letters were kind of graffiti to give it a younger look to bring some youth into the town. I make the mural balances accept for the T-Rex Because I thought it looked better a little off balance and that it made the T-Rex stand out a bit more. I learned it take some time to get everything how you want it to be with out looking awkwardly placed in the mural. If I were to do this again I might do some research about Eastend and added some more things the represented Eastend as a town.
