I made a community thumbnail for [email protected] a few days ago. I thought It would be a fun and creative project to make it animated.
Wow was it a lot of work! I didn’t know anything about gif animations so I looked up a quick tutorial. I made two frames alternating and worked from there. The result is rough in places but im proud of it anyway. It took way more animations than I expected to get things smooth. I learned early on small changes between many frames make for a more smooth viewing experience. Also too many new lines at once looks jaring so it needs to be subtle movement in and out
Congrats on the first animation! Making even one helps give a better sense of how much effort animations take to make. It’s always cool once you get it to a spot you’re happy with and see it moving.
