  For this project I mounted my phone next to my desk. I remotely took selfies of myself moving from one position to the next. In the stop motion video, you can see me walk towards my desk, set down my laptop and open it up. Then I grab the laptop and leave. The video can keep looping around showing me approaching and leaving my desk.

For this project I chose to make myself appear to disintegrate. After taking the picture, I cut out a mask of just me in order to remove the background. Then I duplicated the image and mask and applied a liquify filter to the original image. On the top image, I cut out small holes to make it appear I was disintegrating. For the background I used a purple and orange gradient. On top of all the layers, I applied a cinematic color adjustment layer to make the colors pop out more.
