DESCRIPTION: For this assignment, we were asked to find a scene from one of our favorite movies or TV shows and put our self into the scene. We did this through a masking process that allows the layer you wish to be hidden, while the desired layer comes through. In this piece, I was able to put myself into the scene, but I also was able to take another picture of my face and put it on the ID badge that is clipped to my pocket. This is a scene from Criminal Minds.

DESCRIPTION: To create this animation, we were taught how to turn a video into individual frames within Adobe Photoshop, then asked to apply our knew knowledge and create our own animation. Whether it was video that we animated or cartoons and graphics that we made ourselves, the only requirement was that we needed 10 seconds (100 frames) of rotoscope. Mine contains 114 frames. The rest, I took the video and animated aspects of it and tried to show off tools in Photoshop like the remove background feature, the brush tool, the use of layers, as well as being able to use Adobe Firefly and import the AI created piece. The next step was to create the audio for our animation.
