GIF Fight!
Assignment Value:
So far, 13 people have completed this assignment.
So there is a web site on Tumblr that @jimgroom said where everybody who wants to can make a GIF in a week with a topic that the guy posts and @jimgroom said it should be an assignment but he didn't make it one so I did and now everybody can do a GIF challenge each week by looking to see what the GIF Fight! is for the week.
For an example see the Vader GIFs made by some ds106 people: See jimgroom's and cogdog's and Rockylou22's and mine, iamTalkyTina's.
This is an okay kind of fight for Friends because it doesn't hurt and it is making GIFs which is a fun thing for Friends to do together.

So I made this particular gif from scratch using Gimp. I’m doing it for the Double Gif Bonanza. It’s not exactly the assignment but I liked this picture more.
I stumbled into it and I think I can replicate the process. It’s not quite right but I’m not sure …

GIFfight Trek Transporter
Well, everybody was doing sparkle clothes for this GIFfight, so I decided to do sparkle heads.

If you know Star Trek, then you know who the sparkle-heads are.

Gif Fight means a page where you can find every two weeks an inspiration for an animated gif. The “fight” may mean that it is a challenge to compare yourself to other participants’ creations. Still, the challenge which was designed for the headless ds106 course of 2013 makes it difficult to …

Vader Dialectics
My giffify Darth Vader: attempt 2. I’m calling it “Thus spake, Vaderthustra” gif. Vader only talks to himself. My first attempt, I called “Vader’s Flipped Classroom”, but now it gets more serious when a shaft of light from the stars serves up his own talking head.
