Character Animation

For this stop-motion assignment, I had to take an inanimate object and make it appear alive. The very first thing I did was find an object flexible enough so that it could seem that it was moving on its own. I chose a lei for this because it could be contorted in many ways... and also conveniently already resembled something alive, with its colors and flower-y organic shapes. I decided on having it move like a caterpillar, since it would be easy to make something feel alive by basing the movement off something that is already alive. 

I decided to make my character eat something, since eating is something that anything alive universally does.
