The First Flight

 

 

 

 

 

Untitled-1

 

I made this gif of Superman from the Man of Steel trailer released just this past winter. It pretty much encapsulates what I love about the new direction this movie is taking with the legendary Superman. I made the gif using a trial version of Photoshop C6. It was pretty simple with the exception of one thing. I couldn’t figure out how to drop frames once it was on the timeline. As a result, my gif’s file size is super (pun intended I guess) unwieldy, totaling 12.5 megabytes. But hey, Supes looks hella sick doing his flight thing so I can’t complain too much.

This post is for the original Say It Like Peanut Butter assignment which challenged us to make a GIF using a film or tv show.

Blinky blinky KOP

MJ Blinks in scream

 

Ok so this is my second entry into the Say It Like Peanut Butter assignment. Its from the music video Scream by the late Michael Jackson along with sister Janet a video I still like after a decade and a half. This one has him doing a sort of awake blink. I attempted to both scale down the length of the gif along with the movement. I used the same process as before in the previous gif I posted 3 days ago.

Schitzo

This is GIF that I made from the Movie Black Swan with Natalie Portman.

This movie takes the story of Swan Lake to a whole another level of crazy and was directed well by Darren Aronovsky.

Yo Gimme Yo Cornbread!

This is my first animated gif, I choose a scene out of one of my favorite movies “Life” Staring Eddy Murphy and Martin Lawrence.

Yo Gimme Yo Cornbread!

This is the first animated gif I’ve made inspired from the movie “Life” Staring Eddy Murphy and Martin Lawrence I choose this particular scene because it was one of my favorites. This big inmate here was asking Lawrence if he wanted his cornbread and I thought it was funny.

Big Daddy gives Hit Girl a lesson in Guns

Nicholas Cage, Blasts his daughter away

 

Big Daddy and Hit Girl are father and daughter  super heroes from the movie Kickass.  In this scene Big Daddy played by Nicholas Cage  teaches his daughter, Hit Girl played by Chloe Grace Moretz the power of guns.

This nine frame GIF was made using GIMP- the image manipulation program. The frames were looped after the ninth frame to make it a little more seamless. I am submitting this GIF to the Say it Like Peanut Butter assignment.

 

Bill Cosby, The Face Of Many Faces

Bill Cosby, The Face of MAny Faces

Bill Cosby, The Face of Many Faces

This GIF is an scene from the famous show “The Cosby Show”. It is a snipet of Bill Cosby singing Karaoke to Ray Charles ‘Night Time Is The Right Time’. I just so happened  to be watching the episode of ‘The Cosby Show’ when Cliff’s parents celebrated their 49th Anniversary and the family decided to perform this song for them. If you are familar with the show you know that Huxtable family is famous for performing karaoke version of songs. I  chose this particular  part because when I watched it I remembered just how silly Bill Cosby was and how his facial expressions really signified him as a comedian.

The ‘Say It Like Peanut’ assignment has been a task for me because I really had to put in the time to learn softwares like GIMP and after it was all over and I was ready to save the file I didn’t get the option of saving the file as a GIF. I also had issues with the pixels and frame glitches.

I had  to end up using a GIF maker online called ‘Make A GIF‘. It worked great but I still wish I could of been able to export from GIMP.

Taste The Table

Joker Interrogation Scene - The Dark Knight - YouTube 2

Have a table joker.This Joker here has to be the best villain when it comes to comic books but that is only my opinion. So this was taken from the interrogation scene in the movie The Dark Knight Rises

Since I don’t own Photoshop personally I actually used Michael Smith’s GIF tutorial. Its 14 frames long where the first 7 frames are reversed to create the loop. The original video itself was actually downloaded from YouTube using YouTube Downloader. This works with most browsers and actually embeds a button below the video next to the like or dislike. It also gives the option of downloading the video in different formats and quality.

This GIF is being submitted for the Say It Like Peanut Butter assignment. Which asked to make an animated gif from your favorite/least favorite movie capturing the essence of a key scene.

Game of Death – Swinging Nunchakus

I create this GIF image by using the Adobe Fireworks to import as an Animated GIF. The frames were set as loop forever. The media is from the movie “Game of Death” where Bruce Lee uses his Nunchakus for a swing.
