Learn to make animated gifs.
In this class, you will learn how to:
– Animate static images
– Export and loop video clips
– Format and optimize gifs
Students will bring a static image or video clip to class, which they will have turned into a simple animated gif by the end of the class. We will look at examples of excellent gif design, present best practices (e.g. file size, animation speed, colors, etc.), go through platforms that support (and don't support) gifs, and walk through how to create a simple animation timeline in Photoshop, as well as how to isolate a video clip from a larger video.
