“Many Happy Returns: I am NOT 6,” animated GIF by @aforgrave When looking through the Visual Assignment bank, it seemed that the Visual Assignment 1720: Birthdays are the Worst would be most apropos for Number 6 and the episode Many Happy Returns. It asks that you “find a picture of yourself Number 6 where you he look(s) upset and use photo editing software to add a birthday hat and party decorations.” Recalling that Mrs. Butterworth (aka Number 2) brings Number 6 a cake at the end of the episode, I quickly scanned ahead using Quicktime and copied out a single frame (Command-C, thanks, Bill!) and pasted ...

Before You Start You will be well served to have on hand a pair of red/cyan (or red/blue) 3D glasses so that you can view the images in the Tutorial and so you can test your images when they are done. I have also found that it can be quite helpful to actually wear the glasses during various parts of the process. (Throughout the tutorial, you may wish to watch for the “Please Put On Your 3D Glasses Now” notices! ;-)) Unlike traditional stereo photography which makes use a pair of slightly different originals to create the perception of depth in ...

“Monster Chiller Horror Theatre 3D Groom” animated GIF by @aforgrave What a great fortune that I just happened to be watching Jim Groom (@jimgroom) and Paul Bond (pbond ) talking about Mario Bava‘s Kill, Baby, Kill yesterday and had this little moment of Jim fresh in my mind when I read about @iamTalkyTina‘s Animated GIF Assignment: Monster Chiller Horror Theatre 3D GIF challenge. It’s not really clear what Jim is mumbling about at this point (he may have been making a reference to someone getting pushed, possibly down some stairs), but this definitely counts as a Count Floyd Monster Chiller ...
Sum Pauper Ego

“I am a poor man, I have nothing, I want for nothing.” I first encountered this wonderful round during my B.Ed. year at Queens University, Kingston. As part of the Outdoor and Experiential Education course taught by James Raffan, we met once a week for a five hour experience — rock climbing, historical walk, a night hike, a campfire, a tour of a retired Canadian naval icebreaker. Each week a different group was responsible for preparing a meal appropriate to that week’s theme — we shared the food partway through the evening. Such a great part of a wonderful class. ...
Multi Frame GIF Story: Beaker’s Hair

The ds106 Digital Storytelling GIFfest (known as GIFestivus2012 around here) continues, this time with a two-fer. As well as providing another submission for the Animated GIF Assignment 856: Muppet GIF assignment, it’s also going to reflect a new Animated GIF Assignment 880: Multi-Frame GIF Story. Thanks to Jim Groom for pointing me at the multi-framed GIF story idea. It seems like an excellent way to highlight important themes or details within a longer narrative, like a movie (hint, hint). But it also tells a nice visual story here from this short muppet clip. I’ve always wondered what Beaker did to ...
