for dropping in on and tumbling by DS106
I am getting on The GIF Train and Riffing a GIF working off Alan’s The Faultless Feed (GIF) Train.
going for the quick and dirty rather than any precision train engineering. Taking the CogDog Express across Scotland,
Over Glasgow:
And over the moon:
Here is a greenscreen train, if anyone wants to take the train a bit further.
It is the ds106 GIFfest. This one might fit ds106 Assignments: I’ll Love You Forever.
From La Dolce Vita and while I am at it:
Jim Groom and Scottlo pointed out Oxford Dictionaries USA Word of the Year 2012: ‘to GIF’. This got me watching a few old clips and movies looking for something to gif. Last night we were watching tv, a documentary about singles, with lots of archive clips with a fair bit of gif potential. I’ve run up a few, not too carefully.
Playflow, QuickTime player to capture footage, my own Movie2Gif to select frames and export to gifs. Obviously a bit more time and care would have had better results, but I quite like the roughness.
Recycle The Media — MISSION: DS106 using media from http://minus.com/mvKXzhhcO mashup at least 7 different pieces of this media to make a new story, and use at least 2 different types.
Looking at the ds106 phonar recycle bin my eye was caught by a lot of bars, and I started thinking of being in a cage or going through a series of bars. I started just downloading a bunch of files, listening to the audio. The audio from the bit-fall-mona .mp4 video sounded ominous so I grabbed the movie.
When I started up imovie I veered away from the bars to start on the beach. I like beaches and have occasionally recorded sounds on the beach, there was a nice swish in the bin.
The scream, I imported into garageband, trimmed off the fire and added a female to male voice transformer.
This was to go with the face, trimmed off the icon, added some noise in Fireworks. I originally exported as a transparent png to overlay in imovie but could not get it looking right quickly.
The wave sound fades out as the bit-fall-mona sound fades in. There is the odd filter and only one transition.
So take a trip to the DS106 basement, where old gifs are jammed in dusty boxes.
So this morning before heading to work I checked the daily create, it says:Spend the day taking photos only in black and white. Post a collage or your best one. I’ve not been to inspired by the daily creates of late, but this looked like a good one. Nothing to do with the quality of tdc, just me, time, a dislike for drawing and stuff.
So it is after 10 in the evening now, I’ve taken one photo all day, on my phone, converted to B&W. Occasionally throughout the day I remembered, in meetings, while driving never when I could grab a snap. Worse, it is now tomorrow in DS106 land, a new assignment beckons.
Need to dig deeper, find some hope.
