For this project we are supposed to create an animation which shows our imperfections and traits. We are also supposed to show what kind of people we are. I am the type of person who can be lazy when I can be, but can work hard when I need to. I am also the kind of person who really likes listening to something whether it be music, the t.v or anything really, I just like listening to things. In our animation the traits I plan to show are hard working and reliability. Some relatable imperfections I have are that I can be totally normal and quiet or at times really talkative and obnoxious. Another imperfection I have is that if I think too hard when Im sleeping I think of something to look at on my computer and never can fall asleep.
In this animation I am working with two other teammates. We all need to have our characters in the animation and have to show traits we have, in the story. The trait I plan to exaggerate in our animation is reliable. I plan to show this by having my character be the person who people come to for advice. I also plan to show this by making my character a person who will do what is asked of them. Another trait I plan to show is hardworking. I plan to show this trait by having my character work hard and get things done. I also plan to show this by making myself someone who makes sure things happen. Overall, I think that this will be a fun and enjoyable project where I can show my traits in an interesting animation.
For the first part of our animation project, we began by creating a GIF. In this GIF, we needed to take an image of our bodies on the green screen and cut them out. We also needed to use the puppet warp tool to make our bodies move. We created these GIFs using photoshop in the animation feature. The first step of creating GIFS is cutting out the green screen image of our bodies. Second, we need to crop the image to 640 px, by 720 px. Next, we need to open up the animation in photoshop. Then, we create new frames and animate the character with the puppet warp tool. And lastly, you save the file for "web and devices" and size the finished .GIF. Personally, I like the way my .GIF came out because it's simple and also pretty funny too. I thought that that the puppet warp tool was pretty cool after I got the hang of it. I Also liked doing it because it was the second one I created it in this class, one this year, and one last year.
