Character Development




 My name is Jaesha Aaliyah Hulilihoano Mata. I am quirky, clueless, sociable, awkward, and sensitive. But like every other person in this world I am not perfect at all. I have some good qualities and some bad qualities. Some good qualities is that I never bully, I always try my best, I am rarely sad, I know how to make people smile, and I like to go with the flow. Some bad qualities that I have is that I am the kind of person that lets people walk all over them. I can be a drama queen at times.

 The character traits that I chose to exaggerate is The part of me being a drama queen. I am going to exaggerate this trait because I think being a drama queen will be funny because drama queens over exaggerate anyways so I think putting my drama queen trait will be a good thing to add to my character. Another trait that I plan to exaggerate in my character is being pretty clueless of whats going on. I want to exaggerate this trait because I think it represents me the most. I also plan to exaggerate the way I don't care what anyone else thinks about me. I want to exaggerate this trait because I feel like it's not that often where you see someone especially a girl not care what anyone else thinks about themselves.The last trait that I will be exaggerating is being awkward because it is the trait that represents me the most out of all my traits. Also I just think it would be funny in the animation if I over exaggerate.

 If you want to create your own animation character all you have to do is follow these steps. Before you do anything you have to get organized. For example, I organized my folder like this, new tab<Gif<front<back<side. After you get organized you can get ready to create your own animation character! The first thing you will do is have someone take three different pictures of you up against a green screen. You will be taking three different picture front, back, and side. When you are done with those three pictures you need to put them in it's assigned folder. See being organized will be helpful! Next open photoshop. When thats open press file<open. Then you will find your front picture. Then you will press open. When that is open in photoshop you need to press the quick selection tool. When you select that you will need to outline your body with that. It may be a little frustrating and difficult but with the green screen background it shouldn't be that hard. When you are done outlining it you need to press refine edge. When you refine your edge you need to make sure to press okay before you do anything! When your done with that then you need to press command<C & command<V. That will copy and paste your image for you in a new layer. You can not forget to copy and paste your image in a new layer because the refined edge will not be seen. From then on all you have to do is make sure you stay organized as you are saving your animation character.
