“Oh Sheep! This is gonna look bad.” – The directors cut. \u00a0 (Created by Rochelle Lockridge \u00a0for the JCVD #GIFFight)<\/p><\/div>\n

My latest round of creativity induced OCD<\/a> started with a new GIFFight challenge<\/a> from Michael B Smith (@mbransons<\/a>)<\/p>\n

There’s also a DS106 Animated GIF Assignment 1190<\/a> for any of the GIFFight projects to post to.<\/p>\n

After downloading 1.1GB of short .mov clips of Jean-Claude Van Damme from\u00a0Funny or Die JCVD Make My Movie Challenge<\/a>\u00a0there was no turning back. \u00a0I was riding the dopamine wave<\/a>. \u00a0There were some new learnings and tricky bits with the Adobe Elements software I was using that I’ve included below in the process portion of this post.<\/p>\n

My first GIFs used downloaded images from the Tate Collectives which I had been introduced to through a previous GIFFight Challenge. Animate the crap out of 1840’s Tate Artworks<\/a>\u00a0as part of the Tate Museum 1840’s GIF Party<\/a>. (There’s also a DS106 Animated GIF assignment 1248<\/a> for this too.)<\/p>\n
