GIF Animation
One element of Animation is the creation of a number of images that are viewed in a sequence. If the differences between each image are slight and the process of viewing them is fast then the appearance of movement or "animation" can be created.
A flip book is an early model of this.
Look at Astronomy Flip Books
and this as well.
With a computer the process can be simplified.
We will create some images with PSP an then use some animation software,
to create Animated GIF files
- Go to Start - Programs - Paint Shop Pro.
- Create a new file 50 X 50 pixels, 72 dpi, millions of colours , white back ground
- Draw a face or shape. Save into New folder in the My Documents Folder
- Select All , Copy then Paste a New Image.
- Make some small modification to this image , Save as with a name in sequence to your first image
- Continue process until you have 4 or 5 images.
- Open animation software ( it is along side PSP)
- Use Wizard to create an animation using the image you have prepared earlier
- Save animation and insert into a FrontPage file ( your Sampler will do )
