Character Development




Do people ask you what kind of a person you are? I get asked quit a lot, and usually I really don't know what to say, and yes I know to some people that may seem like a weird question. But anyway I am the type of person that is nice when I meet you but when you get to know me well I become weird and mean at times. Humorous or relatable imperfections that me and you might have is...

While animating myself, I plan for the character traits to be just like me, maybe even a little more exaggerated. So the character traits that the animation will have is nice, weird, mean.

The steps in making this GIF animated character can be simple or it can be difficult. Step one is to get a photo of yourself in a certain pose. The second step is to go into photoshop and make a cut out that separates you from the background and once you have that you save it and then you also make another copy of it, the reason you make a copy of the cut out is because if you mess up on the first one at least you have a back up. Once you made the copy you are gonna want to crop it to a smaller size, the reason is because if you are working in a big size than photoshop may slow down and it won't turn out great. The third step is to go to edit >puppet warp > place pins. Then to make an animation go to window > animation > drop down menu. Then select all frames and change to 0.1 second. Now you have your animation. In my opinion I'm not in favor of making this GIF animated character of myself

.MOV Film Festival


  P1T6 Demon Possesses Sisters from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.



Hooray!! We are filming to be entered in the 2nd Annual .MOV Film Festival. Keywords? Our keywords are horror, spoof, and comedy. I think these words connect with our audience because whenever people make a horror movie cliche people always think "oh,its a horror movie remake, horror, spoof, and comedy." Right....right.


Our overall message is letting people know its okay to have a sense of humor at a hard time. Our message is this because a lot of people are always uptight and don't really have a bright side to whenever things happen bad. There is always a positive side to a negative



Our biggest challenge is filming a middle school girl driving,why? bc we are not legally able to drive until 15 1/2. Also some other challenges we faced were being able to film other than one day because we all had other things planned, some expected some unexpected.
