The Moving Image

 

The Moving Image, also known as a gif, is multiple pictures overlapping each other showing the same thing with slight changes every picture. The movement of the frames makes it look like the picture is actually moving. The first ever video recorded was a moving image of a man (Fred Ott) sneezing.

Fred Ott's Sneeze

Monstercat Melt

The "Monstercat Melt" is the first gif that I did because I wanted to see how to make a basic gif before I tried to make gifs that were any harder.

Erik Ross' Gifs

This gif is pretty simple, I just type "Erik Ross Gifs", then colour the first letter, save the picture as "E", then undo and colour in the next letter.

Superman

The Superman gif was the third one that I made, but you can tell that I was still a bit new to making gifs because the shots are a kind of laggy and there is still some pieces of the light left that I forgot to erase.

Stop-Motion Video

This stop-motion video was made by Chris Phillips and I. Chris didn't tell me the story or what the set looked like so I pretty much went in with a blindfold. The story is supposed to be about and old man who likes jam and smashes some kids' ball on his driveway because he's an angry guy? Then, for some reason, the kid is a ghost or something and he destroys the guys house. I don't really fully understand the plot either, that's probably why we got a 4 on it. (Chris' fault).

While making a stop-motion :

1) Don't move the background, it will make the frames look really stupid because it looks like there is an earthquake every few seconds

 

2) The second thing to remember is to keep the lighting the same, unless in the video the lighting changes because if the lighting changes every so often it looks wierd.

 

3) Keep the camera in the same spot.
