ds106assignment
For this DS106 assignment, we were asked to find a scene (either the most favorite or least favorite) and make it into a short (very short) animated GIF. I did not take me long to think of the exact animated GIF that I wanted to create. We’re the Millers is a family favorite that has now been turned into a Thanksgiving and Christmas Tradition. I know…. sounds strange doesn’t? I was trying to remember how long this has been a tradition, and I think that it started when this movie first came out in 2013! Holy Cow… I feel old. Anyways, it is always watched by my family during Thanksgiving and Christmas. It isn’t even a question.. I decided to crop this scene to this very movement because it is one of my all time favorites. Additionally, there is so much that you can interrupt just from 0.8 seconds! First let’s look at Scottie P. The smirk ought to mean that he is up to no good. Clearly, if her got a tattoo that was spelled “ragrets”…. And then to Casey. Arms crossed and entirely unamused by her fake parents questioning Scottie P and his intentions. I felt like this was such a common “first -date” encounter with meeting the parents! To go about making this animated GIF, I had to find the short clip on YouTube. Here is the original: Scottie P “Sup Dog”. I then used a third party website to download the clip to my laptop as a .mp4 file. This website was called: YouTube Downloader. After the clip was on my laptop, I had to trim the clip in order to upload it to GIPHY. Once it was on GIPHY, I was able to select the scene I wanted and adjust the duration of the clip. I deiced 0.8 seconds was ideal to portray all that I wanted for this DS106 assignments. After I was done, I was able to copy the link and embed it into my post.
