Gif Making!

After a few hours of wrangling I eventually lined up all of the photos of my chair sketch in photoshop. The fateful moment came- to try to make the gif! I read the instructions online which made me a little nervous, I am used to receiving instructions verbally. But I decided to just give it my best shot and do it myself. I encountered a few problems when I had to fill in photos where there was some empty space with no color. I had to backtrack a bit and became confused, but eventually I found myself right where I had left off. I didn’t exactly find the problem, it was interesting that I didn’t need it to get a solution.

 

Once I figured out how to make a gif I was so excited! This is something I have wanted to do since I was in high school and had a tumblr. I always wished I could create gifs of music videos to decorate my blog. Now that I can create in this accessible format, I am excited by all the possibilities. I played with tweening but didn’t like the effect. I became more interested in seeing my process in the chair gif, so I slowed down each frame and made the last frame longer so there is a bit of rest on the final product.
