Magic carpet never lets you down!
I chose Aladdin and the whole point is that the magic carpet is there to always save the day when needed. I chose this one because its such an important point in the movie even though it doesn’t seem it. The idea is that he falls down but the carpet gets him back up.

EDCMOOC: Utopia, as x approaches c
There’s a lot to like about the EDCMOOC currently running in Coursera. It’s probably the closest thing I’ve seen to a cMOOC on an xMOOC platform. That said, the platform hinders its greatness. This course would be just about perfect if it existed entirely on the open web. Indeed, much …
“As You Wish …”
“So Long…” animated GIF by aforgrave, from The Princess Bride 600px at 32 colours,
This is one of my favourite moments from Rob Reiner’s classic, The Princess Bride, released in 1987. It comes right at the end, in an incredibly touching scene, when the Grandfather (wonderfully played by the late Peter Falk), uncomfortable with what to say as he is leaving, fumbles to make sure he has everything (is he checking for his glasses?) before departing.…
My First Bite of DS106

After several failed attempts at joining previous iterations of the DS106 online course, I’m making a more focused, disciplined effort this time around.

Alright, to start things off, welcome to my summary of my second week of DS106, and the final week of DS bootcamp. Can’t say I’m sorry to say goodbye, as we head off into the real deal I’ve made an email address for this blog, so if you have questions or comments or pictures of …

Bootcamp: Crushed!
–Originally published at Save The Pandas
So this week was pretty stressful for me because of many outside factors but surprisingly enough bootcamp this week wasn’t that difficult. Maybe it was because the actual blog was already set up or I don’t really know what but this week seemed so much simpler than last week. I guess I also managed my time …

DS106 Tasks: You Snooze – You Lose!

I’m having fun learning how to create animated GIFs with frames extracted from digital video. In fact, with practice, and the support and feedback of my DS106 learning community, I think I am getting better! I created this animated GIF and then chose my title. The message combination resonates with me on two levels: the …

Deleted Scene from “Reçette Pas Nécessaire” Later Shows Up in “The Shining”
–Originally published at de•tri•tus » ds106
A poorly developed film negative (see above) resulted in this scene being edited out of the final cut of the third film in Julia Child’s “Le Chef de la mort” action trilogy, “Reçette Pas Nécessaire.” You can get some sense of the original drama in this animated GIF assembled from two frames salvaged from the scene: …

So I went a bit overboard on the gif ship. For Week #2′s assignment, I had to create a gif that captured the essence of a key scene from my favorite movie. AHH FAVORITE MOVIE?! That’s such a monumental decision I’d have to make. What if I pick the WRONG ONE?! After that moment of crisis, I …

Keep Clicking Those Ruby GIF Slippers
What could be more key and symbolic of the magic of Oz than the red slippers that Dorothy snagged from the Wicked Witch who got mushed by her flying house? The fact that Dorothy always had the magic but did not know it until sparkly Good Witch clued her in. This GIF is done for the classic ds106 Say it Like Peanut Putter assignment Make an animated gif from your favorite/least favorite movie capturing the essence of a key scene. Make sure the movement is minimal but essential. I knew an animated GIF of the shoes would be part of my new story. So I used PwnYouTube to download the video for the “No Place Like Home” clip as an mp4 I opened this in MPEG StreamClip to snag just the 2 second segment of the shoes flopping. I opened it in QuickTime player to then save it as a …
Minimal movement gif
For this DS106 assignment it asked for as minimal movement as possible in a gif. So after a while of searching for a good scene to use my boyfriend linked me to a great scene in the show Suits. There is 2 layers here, the top layer is a…

What Tom Hanks Thinks About Me Making GIFs

Say it Like the Peanut Butter
I made a gif of the scene when Andrew and Steve, some of the main characters, are using their telekinesis abilities to fly. I recently watched this movie and I thought it was really well made and deserved a gif. I like this scene particularly because in my opinion it’s…
Wedding Crashers GIF!! Quite the Experience
So making this GIF was pretty exciting, and at the same time kind of monotonous. Also, the first time I tried it the frames got screwed up and made a nightmare for me but here is the final product and I am pretty proud of it. This is a clip…
First GIF – Puny God!
I’ve been curious about making GIFs for a while now, but have never been motivated to look up how to make them. Well this finally convinced me to do it.
I don’t really have a particular favorite movie, but I loved seeing the new Avengers movie twice this summer so…
GIF created by the one and only!!!
When I saw that we had to create a GIF I had to find out what exactly a GIF was.

Oorah! Bootcamp Week 2
I have officially survived DS106 Bootcamp Week 2!! Alleluia!

My first assignment
I made my gif using the software suggested and following the videos. I pulled a clip from one of my favorite comedy movies of all time, Tommy Boy. As a background, Tommy is trying to sell brakes to the man watching what is happening by illustrating what happens to his…
Woman In Black
The Woman in Black, the 2012 version not the 1980′s one, was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I shouldn’t have expected anything else with the horrible commercials advertising it, though I couldn’t find the video of the one I always saw (the audience reaction one which was…
My First GIF: The Jesus Run
For the DS106 assignment “Say It Like The Peanut Butter“, I decided I would create a GIF using a few seconds of a montage video I’d recently seen on youtube.com. The title of the video was “People Are Awesome 2012” and features a multitude of short clips of people doing…

50 Eggs: A GIF story

By the time Friday evening rolls around, I’m pretty useless. Friday nights are good for a decent beer and maybe a movie. Friday nights are also good for DS106.

Immaturity at it’s finest

Voila! This is my GIF from the lovely movie “Mean Girls”. It is when Regina George gets hit by the bus. I choose this movie because it is honestly one of those movies that you can just quote and everyone would know where that quote came from (“You go,…

WTF is a GIF? Annie wants to show you!

Assignment 1: GIF
This is my awesome amazing GIF. I created it with a little help from DS106 Handbook. I love Dr. Seuss’ books and I especially love the movies made from them. Recently, I watched Dr. Seuss’ the Lorax and the message “Change the Future” struck a cord with me. For most…

About 15 years ago, my uncle introduced me to my favorite “its so bad its good” movie. The movie was Flash Gordon (1980 version). I liked it so much as a kid that my uncle eventually gave me my own VHS copy to wear out.

Animated GIFs Galore!
I came into DS 106 rather late, so I’m playing catch-up and will be posting the bootcamp content out of order. Just for fun, I thought I would start with the animated GIF project (Say It Like The Peanut Butter).

I love the smell of GIFs in the morning
I decided to start off the week in a productive fashion by knocking out one of the harder assignments for the week. Before I start, I should mention that I love GIFs. I find them hilarious, but I’ve never tried to make my own. That was an ordeal to say the least. I learned that […]
Woot, Look at that! I made a GIF!
My Favorite Movie? Pan’s Labyrinth.
My Favorite Scene? The Pale Man; aka: The Baby Eater.
Isn’t he just adorable?!
I had never in my life made a GIF before, The tutorial made by Jim Groom helped so much. I downloaded GIMP (which I have used previously for photography) and StreamClip.…
Lydia got an A, so I made a Gif
So, I made a Gif. I didn’t even know what a Gif was really. But after many hours of frustration and trial and error I made a gif and know what one is. But that seems to be what ds106 is about, learning by trial and error to create something…
my somewhat gif (hopefully)
I did two because I found the process a lot more fun than I thought I would. Jim Groom’s guide was beyond helpful to me. I downloaded mpeg streamclip and gimp and after the first time of following the directions, I was able to guide myself through the second one.…
Frustrations Resolved…somewhat
Making a gif proved to be one of the most frustrating things for me. For some reason or another I cannot grasp how to make one. I tried many online sources and all proved to fail me. I tried to find photoshop, but wasn’t willing to spend the money on…

Handy Set of Guns
Nicolas Winding Refn’s avant garde movie Bronson is a semi-biographical account of Britain’s self proclaimed “most violent inmate.” This movie was a real step forward in the now renown movie star Tom Hardy (Bane). The flick has TONS of fighting, mumbling British accents, and great ’80s music. The gif below…
My First GIF!
The Avengers! If you haven’t seen this movie, it’s amazing. I loved it and laughed so hard when I saw this scene.
So, we were given this assignment. I’ve never created a .gif before and had to do a little bit of digging before I finally figured out how to…
Criss Cross: Sharpening Her Nails
I think the noir animated GIFs this semester are going to be fun! This GIF features Anna Dundee (played by Yvonne DeCarlo) sharpening her nails in Robert Siodomak’s 1948 noir Criss Cross, a film wherein Burt Lancaster reprises his role as chump from Siodomak’s 1946 The Killers. This film is…
The Killers Animated GIF: Headlights
This is the opening scene from Robert Siodomak’s 1946 noir classic The Killers, which is an extrapolation of Ernest Hemingway’s short story by the same name. That’s part of why Hemingway starts off the hardboiled course, and this film is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, noir of…
Animated Giff’n
Finally. I got around to making a few animated Gifs. I chose Ghost World. I love Thora Birch’s interpretation of Enid. Birch’s expressions are priceless, and kind of capture what I feel at least a few times a week. Is it healthy to possess so much teenage angst at 36? …
Shark GIFing for ds106
jim groom posted a GIF of Henry Winkler’s infamous/iconic shark jump this morning.
I can’t imagine a world where media-saturated Bava had missed the origins of this trope. And if that’s really the case, then maybe he missed the Arrested Development sequel as well.
I’ve really…
I Believe So Strongly in #ds106
For a few years, I’ve watched the explosion of amazing film-clip GIFs take over the web. Even as the #ds106 crew churned out fantastic artifacts in class after class, I consistently viewed that as a consumer. Clearly it involves a lot of aestetic judgment and technical skill. It belongs in…
Animated GIF: This is not Timothy Carey
Story: It’s been more than a quarter of a century since I first watched Paths of Glory. At that time, the experience of watching the nearly 30 year old film was profound. As part of my research into Timothy Carey’s career apart from World’s Greatest Sinner, I was delighted to…

Dog Man
All the Cat Breading and Dog Swapping shenanigans that have been going on around ds106 reminded me of that crazy scene in the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers when the dog man comes running up to Donald Sutherland, Veronica Cartwright, and Brooke Adams, it was pretty much…

It was only a matter of time before I did an animated GIF assignment from the 1979 classic The Warriors, a film that seems to be an integral part of the ds106 fabric. This one was actually pretty easy to do—I’ve done many an animated GIF—and while this isn’t the…

the 488th day of summer
The scene featured in the animation above is from (500) Days of Summer, which is one of my favorite movies. It tells a realistic story in a hopeful way. So many movies about love either have a cliche romcom ending or a depressingly sad ending. (500) Days of Summer is…

Iron Man Gif
I love the Iron Man movies, so I decided to make a gif of him flying away from explosion.
Thanos Alters Time and Space
The inspiration for this gif was that Avengers: Infinity War is my favorite superhero movie. The story behind it is that Thanos is probably the most determined supervillain, and probably the first totally unstoppable villain to ever be created.
Magic carpet never lets you down!
I chose Aladdin and the whole point is that the magic carpet is there to always save the day when needed. I chose this one because its such an important point in the movie even though it doesn’t seem it. The idea is that he falls down but the carpet gets him back up.
Films, Reflections, and GIFs

My Film Reflection with GIF
La Jetée was a very interesting short film in how it was created and how the storyline was shown. The saying of “a picture holds a thousand words” can really be seen in this film. As it is made up of photographs instead of instead of actual film, it was …

Hello everybody! Today’s post is going to be split into two different sections as I watched two different movies for my assignments. If you don’t like spoilers I would suggest not reading on further.

For the first part of this post, I am going to talk about the …
The Road And La Jetee TWO totally different Movies!!!!!!
The reflection of the The Road And La Jetee with GIFs and explanations. These movies were similiar in some aspects due to their relativity of the camera to the actors but totally different in their presentation.
Films, Movies, Gifs
Although the post said that La Jetée is told mostly in images, I still found myself surprised when there actually were moments of silence. Not only that, but I found myself paying more attention, and feeling more interested, when there was no narrating.
I noticed many of the images of …
Say it like the Peanut Butter
This assignment was to pick our favourite or least favourite and create a gif. Deciding which film to pick proved hard work and I spent way too long deciding that rather than making the GIF. This is because there are so many films that I love and equally so many …

This GIF is done for the classic ds106 Say it Like Peanut Putter assignment Make an animated gif from your favorite/least favorite movie capturing the essence of a key scene. Make sure the movement is minimal but essential. I knew an animated GIF of the shoes would be part of my new story. So I used PwnYouTube to download the video for the “No Place Like Home” clip as an mp4 I opened this in MPEG StreamClip to snag just the 2 second segment of the shoes flopping. I opened it in QuickTime player to then save it as a …
Minimal movement gif
For this DS106 assignment it asked for as minimal movement as possible in a gif. So after a while of searching for a good scene to use my boyfriend linked me to a great scene in the show Suits. There is 2 layers here, the top layer is a…
Sweet Feet’s shoes over the bridge = destiny
DS106 Visual Assignment: Make an animated gif from your favorite/least favorite movie capturing the essence of a key scene. Make sure the movement is minimal but essential.
This is the scene from the movie Holes where Zero throws Sweet Feet’s shoes off the bridge and they land on Caveman.…
Say It Like Peanut Butter (Pulp Fiction)
Here is an animated GIF from one of my favorite movies “Pulp Fiction.” In this scene Vincent shots Marvin after his gun accidentally after they dive in a pot hole.…
What Tom Hanks Thinks About Me Making GIFs
I need to laugh like this more often.
This assignment sucked. It made me cry. Many many times. Actually, it just made me cry again, as I just finished typing it up, and when I clicked save, it deleted all of my writing, saving only the GIF.
What…
Say it Like the Peanut Butter
I made a gif of the scene when Andrew and Steve, some of the main characters, are using their telekinesis abilities to fly. I recently watched this movie and I thought it was really well made and deserved a gif. I like this scene particularly because in my opinion it’s…
Wedding Crashers GIF!! Quite the Experience
So making this GIF was pretty exciting, and at the same time kind of monotonous. Also, the first time I tried it the frames got screwed up and made a nightmare for me but here is the final product and I am pretty proud of it. This is a clip…
First GIF – Puny God!
I’ve been curious about making GIFs for a while now, but have never been motivated to look up how to make them. Well this finally convinced me to do it.
I don’t really have a particular favorite movie, but I loved seeing the new Avengers movie twice this summer so…
GIF created by the one and only!!!
When I saw that we had to create a GIF I had to find out what exactly a GIF was.
Being the inquisitive person that I am I had to research and find out what it was before I could figure out how to create one. From doing my research…
Oorah! Bootcamp Week 2
I have officially survived DS106 Bootcamp Week 2!! Alleluia!
Wow, what an experience. This week’s work took more time and effort. I already had a leg up on the first couple tasks i.e. I had already customized my blog, changed up my menus, set up the “cool” version of permalinks…
? Don’t touch that, it’s HOT!! ?
Ta-Da!! My goodness what an adventure creating my first GIF! I chose to use a clip from Sweet Home Alabama, this movie is one of my all-time favorites. In this scene young Jake is protecting Melanie from touching a hot spot that was just struck by lightning
At first, the…
My first assignment
I made my gif using the software suggested and following the videos. I pulled a clip from one of my favorite comedy movies of all time, Tommy Boy. As a background, Tommy is trying to sell brakes to the man watching what is happening by illustrating what happens to his…
Woman In Black
The Woman in Black, the 2012 version not the 1980′s one, was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I shouldn’t have expected anything else with the horrible commercials advertising it, though I couldn’t find the video of the one I always saw (the audience reaction one which was…
My First GIF: The Jesus Run
For the DS106 assignment “Say It Like The Peanut Butter“, I decided I would create a GIF using a few seconds of a montage video I’d recently seen on youtube.com. The title of the video was “People Are Awesome 2012” and features a multitude of short clips of people doing…
Animated GIF: Za Stalina!
So for my first animated GIF I chose to make a clip from one of my all time favorites, quite possibly the most epic war movie ever made, Liberation!. This Soviet film (well, series of films) tells the story of … Continue reading →…
50 Eggs: A GIF story
I chose to extract my GIF from “Cool Hand Luke” starring Paul Newman. I highly recommend the movie, and without ruining it, the above GIF is from a scene where Luke, Paul Newman’s character, is eating 50 hard-boiled eggs as part of a bet he made and the whole prison…
First digital story: Simply “Spell-tacular”
For my first Digital story I used various images from a Harry Potter movie. It was difficult at first to find similar images with slight differences, but once I found images I used www.makeagif.com to create my digital story. Below is the link that will take you to the digital…
This conversation is being tape recorded
By the time Friday evening rolls around, I’m pretty useless. Friday nights are good for a decent beer and maybe a movie. Friday nights are also good for DS106.
I’ve spent the work week cataloging a slew of new books. It’s boring, soul-killing work. I did reward myself with some…
Immaturity at it’s finest
My assignment was to make a gif from my favorite movie. My favorite movie of all time is Uptown Girls… I need to watch it again soon actually.
Uptown girls is a movie about a woman that needs to grow up and a kid that needs to learn how to…
Mean girls make GIFs…
Voila! This is my GIF from the lovely movie “Mean Girls”. It is when Regina George gets hit by the bus. I choose this movie because it is honestly one of those movies that you can just quote and everyone would know where that quote came from (“You go,…
DumbleDead
Scene: Dumbledore falling after Snape Kills him.
Movie: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
First off, I’d like to thank Jim Groom for his awesome tutorial which made the process of making a GIF go ever so smoothly. It was step-by-step with screenshots and links to all the cool software(Fastest…
WTF is a GIF? Annie wants to show you!
I had no clue what a GIF was before this assignment. At first I found this assignment extremely intimidating, but once reading Jim Groom’s tutorial on how to make a GIF a few times I felt like I was ready to give it a try. The first thing I did…
Assignment 1: GIF
This is my awesome amazing GIF. I created it with a little help from DS106 Handbook. I love Dr. Seuss’ books and I especially love the movies made from them. Recently, I watched Dr. Seuss’ the Lorax and the message “Change the Future” struck a cord with me. For most…
LLAMA FACE
Our assignment this week was to create an animated gif image that showcased part of a favorite (or least favorite) movie. If this works, I’m going to build MYSELF a summer home on top of an ancient Peruvian village.

Creating my First GIF
I’m just going to say it right now that creating a Gif was the hardest thing I did this week. I did a lot of research on how to do this and downloaded a ton of different software to figure it out. First thing I saw before I even started…

Flash Gordon Approaching
About 15 years ago, my uncle introduced me to my favorite “its so bad its good” movie. The movie was Flash Gordon (1980 version). I liked it so much as a kid that my uncle eventually gave me my own VHS copy to wear out.

Animated GIFs Galore!
I came into DS 106 rather late, so I’m playing catch-up and will be posting the bootcamp content out of order. Just for fun, I thought I would start with the animated GIF project (Say It Like The Peanut Butter).
I decided to create a GIF from my favorite movie,…
I love the smell of GIFs in the morning
I decided to start off the week in a productive fashion by knocking out one of the harder assignments for the week. Before I start, I should mention that I love GIFs. I find them hilarious, but I’ve never tried to make my own. That was an ordeal to say the least. I learned that […]
Woot, Look at that! I made a GIF!
My Favorite Movie? Pan’s Labyrinth.
My Favorite Scene? The Pale Man; aka: The Baby Eater.
Isn’t he just adorable?!
I had never in my life made a GIF before, The tutorial made by Jim Groom helped so much. I downloaded GIMP (which I have used previously for photography) and StreamClip.…
Lydia got an A, so I made a Gif
So, I made a Gif. I didn’t even know what a Gif was really. But after many hours of frustration and trial and error I made a gif and know what one is. But that seems to be what ds106 is about, learning by trial and error to create something…
my somewhat gif (hopefully)
I did two because I found the process a lot more fun than I thought I would. Jim Groom’s guide was beyond helpful to me. I downloaded mpeg streamclip and gimp and after the first time of following the directions, I was able to guide myself through the second one.…
Frustrations Resolved…somewhat
Making a gif proved to be one of the most frustrating things for me. For some reason or another I cannot grasp how to make one. I tried many online sources and all proved to fail me. I tried to find photoshop, but wasn’t willing to spend the money on…
Say it like Tequila
I see another round of DS106 has started, I have too many balls in the air at the moment to do more than watch it flow through my reader. Then I saw Week 2: Bootcamping It:
This week, we’re also going to ask you to do your very first digital…

Handy Set of Guns
Nicolas Winding Refn’s avant garde movie Bronson is a semi-biographical account of Britain’s self proclaimed “most violent inmate.” This movie was a real step forward in the now renown movie star Tom Hardy (Bane). The flick has TONS of fighting, mumbling British accents, and great ’80s music. The gif below…
My First GIF!
The Avengers! If you haven’t seen this movie, it’s amazing. I loved it and laughed so hard when I saw this scene.
So, we were given this assignment. I’ve never created a .gif before and had to do a little bit of digging before I finally figured out how to…
Criss Cross: Sharpening Her Nails
I think the noir animated GIFs this semester are going to be fun! This GIF features Anna Dundee (played by Yvonne DeCarlo) sharpening her nails in Robert Siodomak’s 1948 noir Criss Cross, a film wherein Burt Lancaster reprises his role as chump from Siodomak’s 1946 The Killers. This film is…
The Killers Animated GIF: Headlights
This is the opening scene from Robert Siodomak’s 1946 noir classic The Killers, which is an extrapolation of Ernest Hemingway’s short story by the same name. That’s part of why Hemingway starts off the hardboiled course, and this film is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, noir of…
Animated Giff’n
Finally. I got around to making a few animated Gifs. I chose Ghost World. I love Thora Birch’s interpretation of Enid. Birch’s expressions are priceless, and kind of capture what I feel at least a few times a week. Is it healthy to possess so much teenage angst at 36? …
Shark GIFing for ds106
jim groom posted a GIF of Henry Winkler’s infamous/iconic shark jump this morning.
I can’t imagine a world where media-saturated Bava had missed the origins of this trope. And if that’s really the case, then maybe he missed the Arrested Development sequel as well.
I’ve really…
I Believe So Strongly in #ds106
For a few years, I’ve watched the explosion of amazing film-clip GIFs take over the web. Even as the #ds106 crew churned out fantastic artifacts in class after class, I consistently viewed that as a consumer. Clearly it involves a lot of aestetic judgment and technical skill. It belongs in…
Animated GIF: This is not Timothy Carey
Story: It’s been more than a quarter of a century since I first watched Paths of Glory. At that time, the experience of watching the nearly 30 year old film was profound. As part of my research into Timothy Carey’s career apart from World’s Greatest Sinner, I was delighted to…

“Turn to the right.”
Behold, my first animated gif! This is from the opening scene of Raising Arizona when H.I. is getting booked by Ed. I love the Cohen brothers’ films, and this is one of their best. This is my entry in the DS106 visual assignment “Say It Like…
Wäscälly Wäbbits Weception
Big virtual party as we (sorta) gather all the pictures of the Wäbbits for our big group photo.
Listening to the wisdom of my RSS feeds, Ben reminds us that camp counselors should lead by example. Fellow Wäbbit, John saysKeep Calm and Make a GIF. Not sure how to take…
Kung Fu Hustle
I am fond of animated gifs, but haven’t had time to make any. After seeing Jim Groom’s Master of the Flying Guillotine Animated GIFs I went over to YouTube to see if I could find any kung fu. Kung Fu Hustle – YouTube which I had watched in the cinema.…
You’re All Right
I didn’t know about the Say It Like the Peanut Butter assignment until I noticed kag0715′s awesomely frightening first animated GIF come through the ds106 stream.
The assignment requires us to create an animated GIF from our favorite or least favorite film – the clip should be one which captures…

And that puts me at about 24 stars for visual assignments. NOBODY!…
Dear Obstinate Learners
Sean Astin and Kevin Bacon starred in a film back in the late 80s titled White Water Summer. What starts as a rather innocent summer camping trip meant to help shape a few young men’s outdoor survival skills while teaching important life lessons, turns into a battle of wills. Alan,…
Casserole Ensemble
Casseroles – Montréal
Sunday’s Daily Create was to take a picture that shows motion. I decided to make it rather show a movement. I love the celebratory, non-violent movement of this ensemble featured in The Huffington post. I’ve included the embed of the video below. It’s quite moving. I love…
Dawn of the Dead and Road Warrior Animated GIFs
I’ve been working on a presentation for TEDxNYED that is all animated GIFs—25 in all. I’ll be publishing an annotated version of the presentation here sometime time for feedback, but before I did I wanted to get the GIFs I made last night out on the web because they are…
CT 101 Homework, 10 Star Assignment

Just photoshopped text over photo of Billy Cundiff, who missed game…
Join in the brand
Me and the gals learned to stop worrying and love the propaganda.
Because we’re in DS106 now.
This is an ANIMATED propaganda poster. I used Photoshop and very crudely selected out the bits I wanted to erase, used the eyedropper to select the background colour and filled in parts. This…
Oh Captain my Captain!
I knew as soon as I read the assignment which movie scene I wanted to do. I haven’t watched The Dead Poets society in a long time, but you only need to see it once to have this scene stick with you. It always made me feel left out to…
Color Splash Gif
I felt like I needed to do one more assignment to get the number of stars needed for the week, even though I’m not doing this for a grade. I really wanted to try the movie summarized in gif ones but the movies on my computer right now didn’t really…
Dog Man
All the Cat Breading and Dog Swapping shenanigans that have been going on around ds106 reminded me of that crazy scene in the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers when the dog man comes running up to Donald Sutherland, Veronica Cartwright, and Brooke Adams, it was pretty much…
ds106 come out and play!
It was only a matter of time before I did an animated GIF assignment from the 1979 classic The Warriors, a film that seems to be an integral part of the ds106 fabric. This one was actually pretty easy to do—I’ve done many an animated GIF—and while this isn’t the…
Pure Bread is two steps away from In Bread

the 488th day of summer
The scene featured in the animation above is from (500) Days of Summer, which is one of my favorite movies. It tells a realistic story in a hopeful way. So many movies about love either have a cliche romcom ending or a depressingly sad ending. (500) Days of Summer is…
American Werewolf in London Animated Movie Poster
Writer, director John Landis is best known for his comedy work in the 80s, particularly the Blues Brothers, Trading Places, and Three Amigos. But the cult classic, An American Werewolf in London was one of two forays he made into the horror genre (I never saw Innocent Blood, but reviews were…

Why must I make a dog gif? Well, let me take you on a journey through my thought process.
As you may know, I have already written how much I love photograph nostalgia like Dear Photograph.
Yesterday my friend emailed me…
Danger Diabolik!
Danger Diabolik is one of my favorite Mario Bava films, and this animated GIF is taken from probably my favorite scene in the film which has Diabolik tearing around in his bitchin car driving to the tune of Ennio Morricone’s best song off the soundtrack “Driving Decoys.”
From Mario Bava's…
Visual Assignment #2
