My summer project was a book trailer for "
Doodled Doggy." This was my first attempt at creating a GIF. I took several poses from the original eBook TIFs and built a puppet with heads, legs and arms on various layers in PhotoShop. I spent a weekend creating 140 frames of animation, it was tedious trial and error, but I tinkered away at it while binge watching Season 3 of "Orange is the New Black." I entrusted the final GIF to my cousin Travis, he added sound and polished up the MP4 file. I'm 44 years old now, why do I still find that bongo sound when someone's running in a cartoon hilarious???
