My second stop motion animation

My animation reflection:

I like the drawing and the video I have made. What I wished I could of done different was slow down the words so that when you watch it, they can be read easily.  This stop motion movie is about two gangstas that mess with a super hero but they didn't know he was a superhero. Spoiler alert! He kills them both in the end by blowing out the gangsta from the back of the car then crushing him with a bin. Hope you like it!

Tane Mahuta

Tane Mahuta "Lord" or "God" of the forest has his roots in Maori legend and is the largest known kauri tree in the world and estimated to be 2,000 years old.

This forest is the home of Tane Mahuta, the country's largest kauri tree, which is approximately 2,000 years old and still growing.

On Tahiti, Tane was the god of peace and beauty. Tane Mahuta is the largest living Kauri tree in terms of volume. Awesome in size, approximately 1,250 years old, this tree is a wonderful sight.

But even before that—before anyone thought of planting forestry trees in New Zealand because our native forests seemed inexhaustible—eucalypts were being grown Kauri trees are an endangered type of tree that are literally a forest giant. They are absolutely huge!!

Kauri trees grow naturally throughout many in the northern part of New Zealand.
