Only because I had to draw 220 frames and color it all based on the details. I lost count of how many hours I spent with this assignment but I am definitely happy on the end result. It is crazy to think how long it took for just a 25 second video! I can only imagine how much work and effort it takes animators to do an entire film and now it makes sense why they take years doing it. I had doing this project and my tablet helped me out a lot when I had to trace myself out!

Original Image  JPG/ 100%/ 4.1MB  JPG/ 75%/ 1.8MB JPG/ 50%/ 958KB JPG/ 25%/ 594KB JPG/ 0%/ 289KB GIF/ 8T/ 128KB GIF/ 8/ 130KB GIF/ 4/ 75KB GIF/ 2/ 53KB I had fun making this project simply because it was so weird and experimental. As I was looking for a new selfie to use, I ran into this image and instantly I got the idea of putting the Mexican skull on my face and make myself merge within a new character. I got some Mexican flag decorations as well to make it more colorful and it worked out pretty nice. I personally liked the gif images better because it makes it look like an ancient picture and the skull looks more realistic with the noise and blend of colors. 

  We all know that when it comes to film production, there are a variety of multiple hats to wear! For this assignment, I went to the black box studio and set up a small shoot for me to take pictures of myself doing different job position while working on a film. It was super fun to make and I even brought outfit changes to give all the characters a different personality! I had to position myself in various locations so it could be easier for me to mask myself out from each photo and then apply them all to one image. I had to blend all the masking and make sure lighting was correct for each one. This was fun to create and it took me a afternoon to shoot and finish editing!

This assignment was really fun to do! I have no idea why Mean Girls came into my mind when brainstorming which film to do but I really think the outcome was clean. I had to search up various images from the scenes that was large enough for me to edit and for me to have space to include myself. The one I found above was the best choice out of all of them and it had enough space for me to insert myself there. I dressed up like them and got a purse and masked myself out from the original image and copy and pasted myself to the film scene. It took a lot of blending and changing the light to match the scene but it was so fun to make!

  BW to Color assignment was fun to do and made it funny because of the selection of color palette. I have never seen myself in these funky colors so it was fun to make. I had some trouble at the beginning when I needed to mask and outline all the different areas but once I got the hang of it, everything else was pretty easy to do. I was focusing more on the minor details making sure all the lines were even and blended in correctly so it can have a natural look. It took me a while to make the first color but after that I made the remaining pretty quickly. I had fun with these, makes me think of an art gallery exhibition!
