| Cutout |
I would describe myself as a shy person because I'm not usually out going and I only feel comfortable talking to people I know a lot. I also am not an out going person and I don't like doing some things in front of other people. Something I always do in the morning is I can never get out of my room on the first try. Sometimes I will be right at the door to leave my room but then I just fall right back on my bed as if I need another minute to sleep. After that I am fine and I'm not sleepy anymore and I do this every morning. Also when I am really focused on something I always bite my lower lip. I don't know why but now it's just a habit and I always do it.
In my animation I will exaggerate a trait about myself. I plan to exaggerate the way I move clumsily. I will do this by making my arms and legs move around weird and maybe do a little jump. This will look like my arms and legs are moving in an up and down motion. I will do this by using the puppet warp tool in photo shop. To make this .GIF move smoother I will make a animation part to loop. To do this I will use the move tool to move myself to make myself move across the screen and then move out.

To create a .GIF you would first need a picture. This is the picture you will edit to make your animation. Then open that picture up in photoshop and separate that picture from the back,ground. You could either use the quick selection tool or the magic wand tool. The after that you would click on window and then select animation. The you would click New Frame button on the bottom row. Make sure you have your cutout picture selected, or else you won't be able to move it. Then select the frame you want to animate in and you can move or warp the picture the way you want to. If you want to move it then you would use the move tool but to warp is a whole other story. To warp click on edit in the top right corner then select puppet warp. To move yourself around just click on the area you want, but you may want to put pins on other areas just so they don't move if you don't want them to. After you have all your frames done you should put delays between each frames so it doesn't go by to fast which you do by clicking the seconds bar underneath each frame. I do like it because It loops and it has pretty smooth movement between each frame.
