Pick a film and create an animated mosaic from a single image (like a poster) or gif (a single moment). Divide that image into a grid – 3 x 3 for a total of nine images. For each portion of the grid add a different moment of the film into a new gif. Tile the new gifs together in a mosaic (tumblr does this well). The resulting set of gifs should alternate between the single image and the various moments.

Inspired by Jet Studio’s Cinema Mosaic Tumblr.

Dystopic world building can be a rough task when you have only 90 minutes to tell a story. So sometimes there’s nothing wrong with a little expository writing in the form of title cards to establish your particular apocalyptic setting. So in six slides ground your catastrophe.

For this assignment, you will need to created a sereis of GIFs that sumamrize the main plot pots, themes, or moments of interest. To make it a bit more challenging, you are limited to six GIFs

Combine your love of creating GIFs with your love of creating 3D Anaglyphs. Create a 3D Anaglyph-A-GIF! Like an exemplary animated GIF, your Art will celebrate a still image that just cries out to move in GIF form. And like any great piece of 3D, your Art will have have depth and reach out and “grab” the viewer with thrill and gusto! Design with red/cyan viewing glasses in mind.
