The instructions for this assignment prompted students to make an animated gif using a home video. After looking through my videos, I decided to go with a video of my best friend’s dog. Laine must have been trying to dig into the bed for about a minute, then I decided to film it. I lightly tossed some Junior Mints into her direction to see if she would stop whatever she was doing, then I got this funny reaction. To make the gif, I used giphy, a free website the allows users to create their own gifs, or look for gifs that have already been made. When making the caption, I decided to go with the “default” style”. The other styles did not seem to suit this particular gif. The website allows allows users to pick the color of the caption. I decided to change the color from the original white, since this seemed boring. The last option that I had was to change the style of animation. There were a few different styles such as rainbow, sparkle, etc. Again, none of these styles seemed to suit this gif so I did not opt to change the style of animation. Overall, creating this gif was pretty fun, and quick!
