Agent Smith – Celebration Failure

Greeting, fellow Agents! Below I am revealing what NOT to do as a secret agent. It’s always good to celebrate a win in life, no matter what it is because it makes you feel good about yourself. However, don’t be this guy:

As you can see, it was on a mission to stop the rogue agent in red from achieving world domination through this cycling event. He thought he had saved the world and let his guard down in his final moments, dooming the world. Because of that failed celebration attempt, we had to…remove him from our ranks, permanently.

To keep in line with the theme, I just modified my findings into the secret agent agenda, even morphing the gif I made into the same idea. It’s rather fun this way because you can make up stories any which way you want to fit your needs. I thought up the story for the gif from just writing it down without giving much thought to it beforehand, such as it just came to me while writing.

Media Assignment #3

This assignment focuses on celebrating too early. I relate to this topic a lot because often times in school I do great most of the semester, leading me to think that I have A’s in the bag. But then the last month hits you with a bombardment of homework, projects, presentations and FINALS. I picked this assignment because of that, I’m and avid soccer fan and also because I found this video hilarious. It pretty summarizes my second semester freshman year.

There are many people in the world who celebrate before the due time and pay the consequences. There are hundreds of Youtube videos related to it. Here is one of them videos:

I am a great fan of Simpson and especially Homer. In the GIF animation I have tried to illustrate that Homer can also be in a hurry some times when he has a donut. He eats them quickly and starts celebrating expecting his wife to give him another donut. He is sad when he finds out that the celebrations are over as there are no more donuts in the house.

It’s Good! Or Not

Original assignment

Klay Thompson and Steph Curry are running the fast break. Curry catches the ball, checks his form, and eyes the hoop. Thompson puts his hands up prematurely in celebration. As he throws his hands up Curry passes him the ball. Thompson, who is not ready for the pass, botches the open shot. I was motivated to make this now that the Warriors are not far from another championship title.

I made this the same way I made my last GIF file. I used imgflip.com. I pasted the URL address and it uploaded the video for me. From there I chose a four second window. It generated the file and I saved it. Directly uploaded the GIF file to WordPress.

Celebrating Too Early

As you can see the guy in the green, Oregon runner, Tanguy Pepiot was trying to hype up the crowd because it was clear that he had an advantage over all the other competitors. However, Washington runner, Meron Simon outruns him at the last minute and wins! What an epic fail!

The Story

The Laker’s Nick Young has always been a player that’s been a little cocky. He loves to celebrate and talk smack to the opponents. But in this game vs. the Knicks he’s been a little extra cocky and has been celebrating after every shot. Then he took a long three pointer that everyone thought was going to go in. So Nick celebrates before the shot even goes in and he ends up missing it. When this happened he blew up the internet and tv. For that whole week you couldn’t watch ESPN or any sports show without seeing this bad highlight. This has to be one of the worst highlights I’ve seen and you can always get a good laugh from this play.

The Process, Narrated

For this assignment I knew right away I was going to use Nick Young for this assignment. He’s made a few mistakes like this in his young career. To make this GIF I first found a website called Make A GIF and it allowed me to easily make a GIF. Then, I uploaded my video from Youtube to the GIF. It allowed me to change how long the GIF was with a max of five seconds. It also allowed me to change where the start and end time was. For my GIF I picked to start at ten seconds and end at thirteen seconds. The site I used lets you pick form picture to GIF, Youtube to GIF, video to GIF, webcam to GIF, or upload a GIF you already made.
