Character Development

HEY GUYS! It's Kyla, back at you with a new blog post. If you don't know me that well, WELL let me tell you more about what kind of person I am and my imperfections that may be humorous or relatable to y'all. Everyone knows me as being a crazy, weird, stubborn, friendly, funny (time to time), energetic, cheerful girl. It's true, if you're my friend, 100% sure that you've seen all of my characteristic. I won't say that I'm normal... probably because I'm not. I'm very special in my own ways which makes me not 'normal'. Honestly, putting yourself into words. I'm Kyla, I'm not perfect, I'm me, I love candy, I love bears, I love food, I love my friends and family, I like teddy bears, I like fooling around, I like messing around, I like to make people happy, I put myself before anybody else, I care about everybody. I'm the type that does anything to make other people happy even if I'm not. They're my top priority, my friends and family. Some imperfections that I have that you may find relatable or humorous is my laugh. My laugh is very bipolar, sometimes I'd sound normal sometimes I'd sound like a witch brewing it's potions. There are in betweens, like my fake laughs and weird laughs and crazy laughs that will sound like I am about to kill someone ":)." How I walk, sometimes I walk like I have 4 legs and act like mobzilla.

From the GIF that I made, I wanted to show the personality of me being wacky and weird by throwing my arms in the air. It's not the best, but... It's my first time doing the puppet warp so I'm a beginner. Honestly, grading myself, I am doing such a bad job. No kidding, it just doesn't look right whenever you're warping it. Which irritates me a lot because it doesn't look right and I want it to look right and not it to appear that it's been edited really badly. I want it to look right honestly and I can't do that because I'm really bad at it... :) To show my personalities through digital animation, all I need to do is to make my animation wacky. It has to be weird and not normal because that is me. I want to show you guys that I'm weird, nice, helpful and my dark side if you know what I mean ;) Oh gosh, I'm such a weirdo. Anyways it's kind of easy to exaggerate being weird. You just have to make it look really wacky, every move so it's convincing that my trait is being weird and crazy.

For my GIF, to create it I needed a cut-out of me and know how to puppet warp. It was fairly easy since I knew how to animated but the hard part was doing the puppet warp. It is very knew to me and I am a beginner and I can't do it right trust me. I'm so bad at puppet warp, I mean look at my GIF it looks so bad and unprofessional. Well since I am a beginner of course it'll look unprofessional. Anyways, after you got some frames done you need to make you character move using puppet warp. Go to edit and puppet warp then start warping yourself to do something. For me I was throwing my hands in the air repeatedly. How you may ask, it's to copy and paster the puppet warp frame and the regular frame and keep pasting until satisfied. Also, you need to make a copy of your character so one is used normally and one is used for puppet warp. Let me tell you that it's really hard to do the puppet warp, just simple actions. It's very hard. After that you can make your character move out of the screen then it's time to turn it into a GIF. First you need to  go File>Save For Web & Devices> then it takes you on from there. You name it however you want then save it then BAM you have a GIF. Honestly, it's goof for a beginning so I'll say I kinda like my finished product. Excuse my spider background, this is because I had to do it last minute so I just picked a random background. How would that simple GIF represent me? Throwing my hands in the air kind of acts like I'm being crazy and that's one of my traits. It might not look good to y'all but I have a valid reason for it to be like that and it's because I am a beginner and I will get good at puppet warp throughout our new project of animating with puppet warp. Anyways, thanks for reading this I hope you have a great day. BYYEE!
