Character Development

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.
