Senior Book Jacket: A Senior Narrative Book Jacket by Nora Donovan (2015)

Lena Loughty is a 20 year old who is stuck in her hometown, and has been for the last few years. One day Aaron, her oldest friend, comes to visit from college. They catch up for a minute, discussing how her dad is encouraging her to leave home and go on an adventure, but then Aaron points out how she has been in town and not moving forward with her life. Lena retaliates and gets frustrated because she knows that he is right, even though she won't admit it. Later on Aaron walks her home, and they call a truce. As Lena walks into her home, her father greets her and begins to make small talk, which quickly turns into the conversation that her dad and her have had for the last few years. The conversation comes to a halt when he hands her an envelope with an acceptance letter from University of Hawaii, to study astronomy.

My animation is a Lego stop motion, where I drew my own Lego character. The Lego character is standing on a rock in a lake, with a perfect view of the milky way, because my main character is trying to search for answers almost like looking out into the universe looking for something. My character, Lena has an interest in astronomy, but she is a little lost and looking for answers for what she should do. The envelope has a path for her to begin the rest of her life, which is why it is almost flying around her, but she isn't grabbing it quite yet. This scene hold some of the beginning and the end wrapped up into one image.
