My Very Own GIF

GIFs are everywhere on the internet, and they're used for many things, such as website icons down to iconic movie scenes. Tumblr is popular for making and creating GIFs from movie or TV show scenes, slowing them down and putting a filter on them. Here are a few examples:

Sometimes, text would be added to add a 'caption'.

I was taught how these GIFs were made, but I decided to make my own rather than from a movie. For this, I had an idea of 'shaving a moustache' but animation style. So, I had to create the 'moustache' and razor on paper:


With these images, I took as many pictures as I needed, opened Photoshop and started to create animation frames with the images. I set certain timings for the frames, played around with the colourings a little.

Overall, I don't think my GIF is too bad, and it didn't actually take too long to make.

Below, are the pictures I used for the GIF.


Here is my final GIF:
