Summary
  The first thing we did was set up the background including the sky, ground, and a gradient with that. After we had to draw on arcs on the background as a stencel so we know were to place our figure.  We then placed our figure in on the arch creating a life like animation. In the end we decided to have a bit of a gradient at the begging.

What learned about photoshop and animation 
  I learned that in order to make an animation look life like you have to include arcs. It can either be the figure going up and down or down to up. The main thing it has to have to make it look realistic is for the figure to have a curve. Without a curve it simply looks like a robot and or mechanical.

What i would do differently 
  Something i would do differently would be to make more frames. The reason is that in the end it looks really choppy. I realized that in the end i didn't use as much frame making it look a little mechanical. Another thing i would do differently would be to make a gradient on my animation This is because it looks to plane and doesn't have anything going on.
