Gifs
This is a collection of gifs I created for my Special Effects and Motion Graphics class in early 2023. The project called for creating gifs that lasted about 10 seconds. We were encouraged to import and cut out photos in order to create the gifs, however, we were given a lot of freedom on what they could be.
Windows Gif
This gif was fun to make as it required messing around with a lot of elements like positioning, opacity, and rotation.
Tetris Gif
I chose to make the gif about Tetris as, for one, I thought the pieces would be easy to cut out, and because video games are important to me, so I try to reference them in my work whenever I can. Timing was also very important to learn about when it came to creating this gif.
Mario Kart Gif
This gif was, by far, the hardest to make out of the collection as it required many moving parts. A couple of key elements that were difficult were getting the characters to move horizontally while bobbing up and down, as well as having the background loop seamlessly.
Popcorn Gif
For this gif, it required more thought into the cutting of the photo rather than the movement itself. In order for this to work, I needed to make sure the front of the pot was in the foreground, so the popcorn pieces could bounce around and duck behind it.
