My Stop Motion

Crystal Craziness for ART3080

For my stop-motion animation, I wanted to tell a story about a clumsy amateur witch and a crystal ball. One day the witch (named Gretchen) is coming in for her shift at the Crystal Hut, a witch shop that sells and makes crystal balls for witches. Her job is to clean up before closing hours, (she has a low position because she is a beginner witch and after a few months she can advance higher and either create or promote the crystals to different buyers). She is a little clumsy but has lots of heart and an interest in crystal balls. After the cashier steps outside for a break Gretchen decides to go look at one of the newest crystal balls on display in the shop. She touches it and accidentally knocks it off its pedestal. During the video, she tries to put the crystal back before the cashier comes back.  Luckily, she manages to catch the crystal ball and put it back just in time before the cashier comes back afterward she and the cashier leave the shop for the night.  I plan to use and decorate a cardboard box for my set and use things I have in the room as props. I will use a wooden art doll for Gretchen and the cashier models and use procreate to edit and draw their clothes and facial expressions. I can use marble and small bottles I find at the dollar store as props and decorations for the shop to make it seem realistic. I will use an iPad to shoot the scenes and edit if needed and the shooting will be in my room.
