For this assignment I chose to make a stop motion animation which is a video made up of individual photos taken with the subject changing ever so slightly in each one. I had originally started working on a campus tour using buildings around campus which I had to scrap after the hurricane. Next I started a stop motion about the daily wake up routine of a college student. After I had started it my subject had to go home and deal with the hurricane which left me with what I ended up making my project. It starts as origami. You watch as the boat is built from a piece of paper. It transforms from just a piece of white paper into a boat. Another transformation occurs when the camera zooms out and there are three boats not just one. The idea of transformation continues as the boat drives around the floor (intentionally blue to represent water) and then appears on a ledge with waves in the background. After it drives along for a little it falls off a waterfall and into a basin of water (toilet was the best I could do). Here they float around and struggle stay afloat and alive. This unintentionally symbolizes a hurricane wrecking a boat, the cause for me picking this topic to begin with.
