My First GIF!

The Avengers!  If you haven’t seen this movie, it’s amazing.  I loved it and laughed so hard when I saw this scene.

So, we were given this assignment.  I’ve never created a .gif before and had to do a little bit of digging before I finally figured out how to make one.  I don’t have photoshop, so I had to resort to a website called MakeAGIF which is actually REALLY handy.  I hope that we are aloud to use this site to create our work?  I had the video file that I wanted, and I took screenshots with VLC and then uploaded them and then it created this gif!

I really enjoy this particular clip because it is funny but at the same time makes me think of how I felt when I was first told to create an animated gif.  My brain felt like Loki’s body at first.  These sorts of things are a bit daunting to me when I have to do some research and figure out how to do something that I’ve never done before and then create it.  I’m really glad that I got it done though because I thought it was a fun process!  I’m sure I’ll find an easier and more efficient way to produce a gif as the semester progresses.

So far, every assignment that I have done for this course has been one that I enjoyed in the end.  I can definitely see though how people say that it takes time and to not procrastinate.  I’m trying to get everything done as early as I can so I can go back and edit it later on in the week if I need to before I actually submit the assignment.
