My work:https://youtu.be/5KtrKV0QY5I
Context
Regarding the definition of self, I wanted to create content that explained my personal characteristics. I believe that to understand a person better, we must not only start from ourselves, but also be able to see ourselves from a third-person perspective, so that we can express and understand more clearly. But being able to see myself in third person in real life is a very difficult thing, which reminds me of my favorite anime rick and morty. In the same time and space, rick often sees many of the same self. In different worlds, he also has various versions of himself. Therefore, I want to enter the world of R&M by portraying my own 2D animation image, showing my own voice, character and movement in it, to express my personal characteristics.
People at different ages experience great changes in their body and mind because of what they encounter. Like in an R&M episode, rick enters a younger version of himself. The body changed from old to young, causing part of Rick's mind to be imprisoned in the body and unable to break free.
So when I express myself in the work, I also want to explain that when I become a 2d character, maybe I will be very sad, because it proves that this version of me is just for others to watch!
Method
ps: Finished morty's room in R&M as the background.
Designed my personal 2d character based on R&M style.
Designed for Jerry, Tramp, rick and morty for Christmas.
This week I tried ps drag animation, recorded me using the mouse to drag the character to interact, and showed some inner and outer stories through the recording.
Through my character's dancing and singing, to express that the 2d character wants to break free and does not want to stay in the 2d world.
Response
I remember watching a Korean video where he recorded his screen using ps, dragging the character with the mouse and adding sound effects to make a similar anime product (I saw it in the course of learning anime storytelling , it's not very clear the name of the original work).
I think this approach has a unique style, and I want something like dragging a self-animated character to realize a story.
The general direction is that I turned into a 2D anime character and entered my favorite anime "rick and morty". Express my inner thoughts through my voiceover.
Reflection
During the recording process, I tried several times to cancel this extra pixel prompt. Although I still didn't find it in the end, it still didn't affect the final work. It's a lot of fun to draw your own style of characters in other 2D animation works. At the beginning, I planned to draw a different style of self-portrait to end the first week of the response, but after painting myself, I really wanted my character to enter the R&M world for interaction. So for the theme of play and self, as a real-world me, I have made a different style of portrayal of myself. For me in the 2d world, he broke into a world that did not belong to him and interacted with those familiar backgrounds and characters. I am very satisfied after finishing the work, because this week gave me an opportunity to experience different time and space.
