The latest project my G.T class is working is puppet warp and an animation. So now is my annual intro paragraph. I'm going to describe myself... YIPEE!!! So first, I'm a really energetic out-going person, but maybe a little too energetic. A funny imperfection I have is my laugh. A lot of people have cute nice laughs, but my laughs are over the top and LOUD. Either way I love my laugh. A lot of imperfections people think they have is their looks. Other things that describe me is caring, funny, cool, and etc... I'm the type of person that a lot of people like to hang out with and like to go to with problems because I'm always there to help them. I'm also a shy person who tends to laugh when I talk or I can be a really energetic person around my friends.
The character traits I plan to exaggerate while animating myself is an energetic person and happy person. I plan to do so by positioning my arms in a certain way but I was smiling in the picture so that's how I plan to make myself energetic and happy. I want a shy point of view to express the real me... A shy person. I think of myself of a shy person because when I'm around new people or people I don't really know I tend to smile and laugh when I talk or not talk at all. When I'm playing sports and when I'm around my friends I'm a really energetic person. I plan to tilt most of my body parts in a certain way to make myself look shy but my smile tends to show my happy and energetic side. I want to be able to make myself look shy, energetic and happy. I plan to do this by body positioning and facial expressions.
To finish my .Gif project I first had to take pictures with three different body movements, then I had to cut out my body in Photoshop. After I had cut out my body I had to make myself smaller on the screen and crop the picture to make it smaller. After cropping I had to make sure my height was 720 px my width was 640 px and my resolution was 300 px/in. Then I had to make my frames, after making my frames I can now get into puppet warp. I place my pins on any part of my body that can move then I can start moving my body parts to do weird motions. I then make sure its looping so my .Gif goes on and on. After I then can apply my background, my background is a picture of the beach that I took. I really like my .Gif because my looping is pretty good and my puppet warp isn't too crazy and isn't too small.
