I used Google Slides and I thought that 1 second per slide was way too slow. Then I remembered that one day in cyber smart the teacher teaching it, Mrs Torrie, taught us a way to make GIFs out of slides on a site called Talltweets. You put in a slide then choose how long each slide is. I made mine 0.3 for each of my 78 slides.
The first time someone made a flipbook animation was in 1832. Did you know the German word for flipbook - Daumenkino, which translates to "thumb cinema" pretty much explains what it is.
I enjoyed making the animation because it was fun coming up with ideas on what to make my stick man do. I wanted to make people laugh with this and I hope I achieved that!
Next time I want to make this with funny music in the background to add the funny effect.
Thank you for reading my blog. Here is my GIF:
Kia ora Kylah,
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic stick figure animation! Did it take long to create the stick figure images and put them all together?
Thats awesome that you remembered something Mrs Torrie taught you and used it when your initial idea didn't work out, very resourceful!
Amazing work doing some research on the history of flip books. I didn't know that was the German word for it, but it makes a lot of sense! Thumb cinema is a creative way of describing these images, especially when done on paper.
I’m marking this post as an outstanding blog post, for your resourcefulness and for sharing your fantastic knowledge with us!
I’m glad you enjoyed this activity! I’m looking forward to your next blog posts.
Ngā mihi,
