It's Pronounced GIF!

This is a piece of class work from a couple of weeks ago. In class we were given two exercises to do. We were told using Photoshop's layers to animate some GIFs stolen off of the internet by our tutor, Steve.



The first of which was a simple GIF of one of Jabba the Hut's Gamorrean guards from Star Wars.
We had to make our own tweak to it however, adding glowing blue eyes to each frame. Which can be seen in the above.

Next was a GIF of a simple walking girl.

To this, however, we needed to add something else. We were tasked with giving the girl something like a hat or perhaps a weapon. I chose the latter, as can be seen, and opted for a nice spiked flail (not too spiked mind you) great for those midsummer afternoon strolls through the park wouldn't you say?

All in all I found the process fairy simple if not just fiddly a times, having to go through all the layers and rubbing things out and adding new things frame by frame. Tedious perhaps, but simple enough so I can't complain.
