P1: METAMORPHOSIS ANIMATION











Since I drew two animals I wanted an interaction to occur between them, which is why I'm leaning towards one of these two ideas:

1. The elephant sucks the bird into its trunk and powerfully snorts it out towards the left. The bird travels rapidly through the air in a ball of mucus, landing near the outer circle of Stonehenge and becomes one of the two rocks on the far left.

2. The bird rapidly flutters around the elephant, landing several times on various areas of his body to peck on him. When the bird pecks the elephant, debris flies in the air and parts of the elephant fall off around him becoming some of the rocks that will form Stonehenge. The bird perches itself on top of the elephant, now cracked and cratered, who gradually falls apart and forms Stonehenge. As the elephant falls apart the bird tumbles with the debris and becomes one of the two rocks on the far left.

Other ideas I was considering were either the elephant melts in the hot sun or is pushed through a grate, and pieces of him drop to form Stonehenge.
