This is really not relevant to the project at all - I just did it as a tester and also a little bit just for fun because I like leopard print and funky clothes. This gif also really hurts my eyes if I look at it too long. Although making this did help me better understand how to overlay and create different layers, and switch between these in order to create an animation.
I've got mixed responses from this gif, some people really like it and others not so much. I'm not sure how I really feel about it, but I do know that I don't really want it to be one of my final outcomes. It just seems too lo-fi and simple, it also doesn't really express any feeling or emotion - its just a bit strange.
This gif I feel like is a lot more of an accomplished outcome and also expresses more personality/character. I made the tongue and eyes with felt and took photos of them moving - then arranged these in photoshop. I think as a process this has been really effective in creating something that looks 3D without having to consider creating a whole frame and composition.
I decided to put the bowler hat in context because it looked a bit bare and plain on its own. I decided to use this photo of an 'aristocratic man'. I like the contrast between the seriousness of the man, and his setting, with the silly and playful animation of the hat. If I was to develop this further I think I would make the eyes and tongue appear, so it would come more as a surprise - which would add extra comedy?
