First, you'll need to make sure it's not a copyrighted image.  Then, save it to your computer.  Using GIMP, go to File > Open as Layers, then use the layers to make a spritesheet.

How do you make a sprite sheet?

So now each layer of the image should represent one frame.  You can copy a frame by selecting the appropriate layer, doing a Select All and Copy.

The way I'd make a spritesheet is by making a new, really big blank image and one by one copy & paste each frame of the animation into it.  When using GIMP, it would help to set the grid in your spritesheet to match the size of your animation; that will make it a lot easier to line up.

As long as the tiles are laid out in a grid and arranged in a reading order, the game should recognize it.  So the spritesheet can even be all 1 row.

The only way to fix that is to make it bigger. But, if it's for a pseudo-cutscene, you could always make a CO of Juni, about that size.

Shooting in air, without the bullet touching juni does not kill a person. :huh:
