Here are the GIF ‘s I would select to Summarize The Man Who Ended the World
Okay. So I lied. This isn’t the entirety of The Stand. This is the entirety of the first two parts of The Stand miniseries. You see, Stephen King went out and wrote such an incredibly long and complex novel that they couldn’t just make a simple 2-hour movie about it. No, instead a four-part miniseries had to be directed, produced and aired. Each part of the miniseries was over an hour and a half and I couldn’t watch or cut all of it down. I watched the first part and made gifs out of it. Then I watched the second part and I thought I was going to lose my mind. Cutting down over 3 hours into gifs was so hard. I didn’t know what made sense and I am honestly so worried that you can’t even begin to tell what is going on. Because there are so many characters and storylines it is hard to pick gifs that made sense and also gave people the sense of what was going on.
I know that the assignment was to only use 10, but there were just far too many characters and too much happening for there to only be 10. Also, I figured that was a good rule to use for each part of the miniseries. Otherwise, I don’t think this assignment would have made any sense.
I decided to only do the first half, otherwise, this was never going to end. You would find me in 10 years editing clips, uploading to youtube, cutting into gifs, and then putting in this blog post. Plus, I figured that 3 hours of footage was enough to cut, considering that is the length of a movie.
To make this post, I used the 4k Video Downloader to get all of the parts off of YouTube. This was great to get footage to turn into gifs, but the only version I found of it had Russian subtitles. This was okay though because I just worked around them. I then used iMovie to cut down the larger segments of it into smaller clips. I clipped what I wanted to turn into gifs. I then uploaded the clipped videos to YouTUbe and then used Giphy to make gifs! I just changed the start time when I was making them get to the right part of the clip.
I liked this assignment, and I think that it can be a really cool way to tell a story. I just needed to pick a shorter story.
This is War of the Worlds: GIF edition, based on the 2005 movie adaptation.
Ray works as a crane operator.
He is divorced from his wife and she drops the kids off at his house.
Weird weather occurrences happen in the neighborhood and the electricity goes out.
The aliens attack for the first time.
After stealing a car, they find the wreckage of an airplane.
Alien tripods have destroyed major cities.
The U.S. Military fights the aliens and Ray’s son joins the fight.
Ray and his daughter hide in a stranger’s basement. The aliens enter the house but don’t notice them.
A few days later, however, they are abducted by the aliens. Ray manages to kill them.
Ray and his daughter make it to Boston and are reunited with his ex-wife and son, who survived the fight.
The aliens are unable to survive on this planet and they all die. Humanity lives on.
Back in the western days
A guy walked in on a Western Gal he liked flirting with some other cowboy
She was smiling, and giggling 
He was so angry he needed to get his rage out 
But his wife (another cowgirl) was confused and upset that he was acting this way 
So whats gonna happen now with the lovely couple?
*I chose to do a western movie so it would fit with the class. Since my character is a western gal, looking for a man. So I looked for Gifs that had a boy and a girl and tried to incorporate some type of relationship. Then I looked up all the characters that the class created, and I decided to use just another cowgirl. The cowgirl is the one who was flirting with another guy. And the wife is my western character. That was five stars, and I would rate it five stars because it took me a while to put the gifs to work
In the beginning we see and hear the simplicity of life,
the beginning of the Circle of Life,
then we celebrate the beauty of life,
we experience the creativity and newness of being young,
then there is the worst feelings of FEAR followed by DEATH,
next we go on a wonderful journey, learning about love, family,
Hakuna Matata and eating BUGS,
we grow with Simba as he becomes a man, unknowingly preparing him for his destiny,
then feel his heartbreak when he learns of betrayal and the truth,
and fight with him when he makes it right,
finally we cheer with the pride as we see the new king and his family!
We rejoice in seeing the happiness of the Circle of Life.
Definitely a sucker for a good magic movie. Now You See Me explained in 8 gifs.

I chose “Kung Fu Hustle” because this movie is hilarious and a lot of scenes in this movie are great for gifs. If i had the time I would definitely make a lot more gifs from this movie. I edited the gifs on Adobe Photoshop CS6. My favorite type of Digital Storytelling Activity is makings Gifs. Taking great clips from movies and creating moevable short images is really fun and enjoyable. I would expand on this project and make more gifs from the movie.The story telling plot is easy and clear to distinguish in the storyboard.
Over the holidays and between trips to visit friends in New York City and Rhode Island, I discovered how much fun it is to explore the creative power of generating animated gifs between semesters. This is my take on the DS106 assignment, “Summarize a movie with Animated GIFs to tell the story of a movie.” I’ve taken a slight deviation from the directions using three movie trailers that feature strong, surly and defiant protagonists finding their way forward in times of great challenges. These examples hail from quasi cult films that take place in the NYC metro area. I was headed to Manhattan the next day so it must have been on my mind.
Working with mainstay DIY tools like YouTube, MPEG streamclip and GIMP, I’ve gotten the process down to the point where it comes naturally without referencing the tutorial. Downloading the video clips can be accomplished a number of ways. I opened them in MPEG streamclip and extracted the relevant morsels. Exporting as image sequences, I opened the jpeg files as layers in GIMP, scaled and exported as looping animated gifs. Voilà, c’est tout! 2012 has been dubbed the year of the gif. ![On the Waterfront - Trailer [1954] [27th Oscar Best Picture] 28](http://www.harwoodben.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/On-the-Waterfront-Trailer-1954-27th-Oscar-Best-Picture-28.gif)
It’s also been a year filled with great odds, great misfortune yet hope and dignity shine through. Man versus man, man versus the machine, humans outsmarting the algorithm. So during the height of McCarthy’s witch-hunts, Elia Kazan struggled with a wave and shadow of reproach following a near career-ending and humiliating inquisition. In On the Waterfront, Marlon Brando takes the high road and highlights one who will not sell out, no matter what. Could 2012 be the year of selling out as MOOCx’s spin-off and passively vindictive venture capital seeps out of Silicon Valley?
Next up, in Escape from New York (1981), Kurt Russell, in the slithering role of Snake receives a bone-chilling 24-hour deadline to rescue the US President and his double-secret encrypted message (on a cassette tape no less!) from the hands of the Duke and his army of thugs. One of my favorite character actors who recently died, Ernest Borgine, shepherds Snake to the other side moments before the jugglar time-bomb detonates. Snake lives, the President lives, and the Duke perishes. Only I could spin it this way, but is the battle between Snake and the Duke emblematic of the intensifying conflict between proponents of open educational resources and the digital publishing industry?
Lastly, Tony Manero (John Travolta) steals the floor and busts out some well-honed disco moves in Saturday Night Fever. In the wise words of Casey Kasem, this gif is a reminder to “keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.” Happy New Year and keep on dancing in 2013.
Education is an important part of everyone’s life, a country with no education is like a body without a soul. Similarly, education system plays an important role in delivering knowledge to individuals. Unfortunately in most of the third world countries the education system is very week, one of the reason is that memorization is preferred than understanding. Thus, students graduate every year but with the lack of understanding.
Due to the lack of a better education system in third world countries, students are under pressure, as students who memorize are encouraged over the students who actually understand the materials. Similarly, every student is expected by their parents to become doctors or engineers. Therefore, every year many students commit suicide because they cannot fulfill what is expected from them. This movie encourages individuals to major on what they are interested and to understand the materials. Similarly, shows the lack of a better education system in third world countries. check the animated GIFs below:

Process: to make the movie animated GIF, I downloaded KMplayer and PhotoScape. Which are totally free to download. Secondly to capture movie, I opened it with KMplayer, then after it was captured I opened the captured files on PhotoScape. There is a good tutorial available on this, which was really useful to me.
