Character Splash Card Meme

This tutorial is what I followed and helped me to make the thing, I got a basic understanding of what to do from this, then made the thing in Photoshop after watching this video.

For this I cut out my friend Abdallah from one of his pictures, and added him on top of a red gradient type background. Then once I had him as a layer I added text as a new layer, then warped the text as one of the effects to make it look 3D. I added a small glow to the bottom of the text to make it look better, and I added paint splashes in another layer behind the text.
Once I did all this I had my layers necessary to create a video animation.

You always need character music, so I went to garage band to make some. I added drums in the background, a guitar that I just clicked random buttons on and ended up making a beat. I added a few more extras, and the main part where the characters name was repeated "Abdallah" I went to a piano option and recorded my voice for the sound that plays when you tap a button. Then I started tapping the buttons on the piano to play "Abdallah" in different tones. I added the piano track to the rest and then exported it.

To make this I made a video timeline, then clicked on the position button so I could make each object move. The text and person slide in then slowly glide towards each other, then at the end I made them quickly slide to the end. I matched the length of this to the length of the song, then added the song on the timeline and exported it to make this.
