The ds106 Digital Storytelling GIFfest<\/a> (known as GIFestivus2012<\/strong><\/a> around here) continues, this time with a two-fer<\/em>. As well as providing another submission for the Animated GIF Assignment 856: Muppet GIF<\/a> assignment, it’s also going to reflect a new Animated GIF Assignment 880: Multi-Frame GIF Story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Jim Groom for pointing me at the multi-framed GIF story idea<\/em><\/a>. It seems like an excellent way to highlight important themes or details within a longer narrative, like a movie <\/span><\/em>(hint, hint). But it also tells a nice visual story here from this short muppet clip.<\/p>\n

I’ve always wondered what Beaker did to get his hair like that.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Some thoughts, just as I finish finagling these six GIFs into a nice table so they can be viewed in tandem.<\/p>\n

  1. I didn’t know that you could get electric metronomes. I guess you maybe need them for really, really<\/em> long songs.<\/li>\n
  2. The fifth panel was made using a small number of sporadic frames that existed as the lights shorted out now and then in the original clip. I thought it would be neat to envision how this might look with a longer sequence of darkness. The big plume in the upper left was the result of a little photoshop editing.<\/li>\n
  3. I wonder how this might be different if I applied the “less is more” approach, say three or four key frames per GIF. Hmmm. Maybe I’ll revisit this when I’m out of other ideas for GIFestivus2012<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Neat, eh? Now I want to do this with a movie.<\/em> I wonder which one I’ll try? Hmmmmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
