This was my first attempt at stop motion animation using the Stop Motion App. Ethan was my partner for this project.
We don't have a picture of our storyboard, but the plan was to mimic the game Snake. At first we were going to have the intro which said "SNAKE" written out in sticky notes and then have the animation like the original game. Every time he would eat an apple, he would grow more and more. We planned to do this until we got ten pieces of the snake, then he would eat himself and start from the beginning. After repeating the process he would run into the wall and it would be "GAME OVER" written out in sticky notes. It didn't exactly go this way as we never wrote out "SNAKE" and we never showed him running into the wall.

For the actual Stop Motion animation project I worked with John and Ethan. The supplies we ended up using were sticky notes. The part I did was actually recording the project, and it was really difficult to try and keep my phone from moving so the animation would stay still the entire time. It was also difficult trying to make sure everyone was out of the frame or we'd have to start over. This happened a couple of times.
If I could change anything about this project I would definitely change the place where we took the pictures. There was a lot of interference with people walking back and forth through the hallways. There also wasn't a lot of room to try to capture the whole animation. I believe this animation does tell the story it was supposed to. The main focus of the animation was the actual game of snake and we accomplished quite a few rounds of him eating the apple and growing. Unfortunately we weren't able to get the end where he ran into the wall in the actual video, but it was recorded.
