The history of the animated GIF #ds106
via kottke.org I am sure most of the #ds106 folk will have seen this, but this is a great wee movie with lots of interesting uses of animated gifs. I’ve been a long time disparager of those animated gif clip art things on the web but recently converted to a fan by Jim Groom and ... -
Not a Sound Effects Story #ds106
Tell a story using nothing but sound effects. There can be no verbal communication, only sound effects. Use at least five different sounds that you find online.

Stereogranimator
NYPL Labs : Stereogranimator Create and share animated GIFs and 3D anaglyphs using more than 40,000 stereographs from The New York Public Library.

flickrSounds for #ds106
One of the things I’ve really been enjoying about DS106 is riffing off the ideas of Alan Levine (CogDogBlog) like many edubloggers I’ve been following and being inspired by his blog for years. 50+ Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story is a standard teacher 2.0 text I’ve also, like many, used Feed2JS on several ... -

Jim Groom Busy Widget
Today I have mostly been animating gifs. This is just a re edit of the one I posted here: Joining DS106 and used here Jim’s Excellent Ted Adventure. I am tempted to make a series with different backgrounds. -
Colour Splash
Another quick DS106 Color splash is a technique to emphasize details- you remove all color from a photo, and then restore original color to a single object, e.g. a green apple on a table. Think of the Girl in the red dress from Schindler’s List. After watching Video Tutorial: Splash the Color : neverthesameriver I ... -
