Context:

According to the theme, actually it took time for me to considered a lot about what I should do, finally I decided to have a trial on pixel animation, this is my first time to give a try, that it occurs me suddenly that I've watched a similar work by Kokorokeke, his work is so funny and cute, here is a link about his work, you can have a look if you are interested in it.

In my work, the GIF draws on the concept of collecting gold coins in the game Mario, and the gold coin represents animation. After collecting gold coins, the character turns into a warrior which I use the setting and concept of Star Wars as reference. What I wanna express is that after learning animation, I can turn my imagination into reality and present them. After the production was completed, I found that it could not be exported, so I had to record the screen to show the work more clearly. And here is a link but I'm not sure whether it would work or not. 

Method:

Based on the theme - self portrait, I tried to use photoshop to make a short pixel animation. This is my first trial on using photoshop to do a short pixel animation, I use timeline to draw it frame by frame, which should be considered is the relationship between the timeline and the layer, there is a bit different between photoshop and other animation softwares in the function of the layers and aome operation.

Response:

Here is the link of this work. By doing this work, I have a rough thought and understanding on doing pixel production, then I can have more trial on it.
