Week 4

In week 4, we were assigned our stop motion groups. I worked with Chuan and Baron. Since the stop motion was supposed to be two GIFs, each about 3-7 seconds. We decided to make it a series with the main character being a detective mouse. The theme of the story was that the mouse is trying to find his missing cheese.

Script
