Naked Mole Rap

I made this animation by getting a picture of a naked mole rat, and photoshopping lips onto it. Each lip is in a different position your mouth would make while talking. Then I matched up the pictures, and the words in the song in flash.

This is my "Sticky situation" project. I came up with this idea because I thought about when you spill something like juice, or soda it makes things all sticky. I used acrylic paint, and melted crayons. I think using melted crayons was "thinking outside of the box"  I created repetition with the cups in the photo. I think the mini lessons were good practice, and also helped with deciding which kind of paint is suited best for me. 

This is a picture I took while  I was melting the crayons. The way I did it was I glued crayons down to the canvas after I painted it, and melted them with a hair dryer.

How I made this was I drew it in photoshop, and colored it in illustrator. Then I added the shapes in illustrator as well. I'm not a big fan of illustrator. I think I could have done a much better job coloring it in photoshop. The only thing I like in illustrator is how easy it is to make shapes, and how when you use the bucket tool it doesn't leave a little ring of the color the object use to be like in photoshop.

I think the program would be really good for minimalist, but that's not really my style.
