With my Remix Activity i decided to remix a selfie I have taken of myself and I turned myself into a Anime Character. Ive given my anime character a name “迷人的” which translates to charming.
The freedom with this activity was having the choice of doing something you enjoy. For instance in my case I enjoy watching anime, so I tried to tie myself with it with this activity. The risk that tie into this activity was the deciding factor on which selfie I should use that I would like in order to make this image.
My thoughts on copyrighting is that I feel like often it is taken out of context and should be modified. This is because sometimes an individual would create a youtube video or an essay but without knowing there would be a similar piece already out there in which gets their work copyrighted. Which would lead for that individual to go through all of the hassle to dig themselves out of a hole, that they were not intentionally trying to get in.
The license that I choose to use was Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs. Since this work is based off myself and no one else, I have the rights to change it and no one else does unless I give them permission to.
The experience while making this anime version of myself was exciting. I was curious onto how it was going to turn out and I feel as if it came out pretty well. The only challenge I dealt with while making this activity was figuring out a unique name to show case my anime character of myself.
