Character Development

Hello so here I am with another blog post in G.T. we are doing an animation of our selfs. So I'm gonna tell you what kind of person I am. So my friends like to call me a monkey because monkeys are curious and funny. They also call me monkey because monkeys are suppose to be smart. So because nobody's perfect I have some flaws one of my flaws is that in the morning I like to take a shower. Also in math I like to draw creatures or robots. A weird thing about me is that a lot of animals that I picked out and use to own or own have six toes. A special thing about me is that I'm a sea-aholic (I like the sea). I have to at least see the sea every day.

When I animate myself I plan to show my curious and funny side. My GIF should show me happy and I like to be happy. My story should explain how I am shy but I over come that shyness. A few other things I would like to show in my GIF is the excited me. I think to show all of this I would need to first when taking a picture of I wold need to look happy. Next I would have to think of a fun creative way to express my happiness (jumping) then I would have to make the jump look like I'm having lots of fun. Then make it so I can jump by going into my GIF folder and editing my self.

So the first step in my process of making a GIF I need to take pictures of myself and then I need to crop out the background. After that I take my cropped out picture and go into photoshop and make an animation. After that I duplicate the layers in the animation box and make it so each one has a slight difference so it looks like I'm walking on the screen. Then you make one more layer in the animation box and then make a layer copy in the main workspace. Then you turn it off on all the layers except for the last one (in the animation box). After that you turn off the original layer copy on the last one (animation box). Then you go to the drop down menu in edit and pick puppet warp and make your character become you. I like my GIF because I think it's cool that I made a picture of me move and become my puppet.
