i see a face. gif creation, the bird 2


to make this gif more successful than the last bird gif i felt that i should draw the birds again and draw more frames for each movement there for it would be more smoother and when its sped up to 0 seconds delay, it shouldn't flicker. 
when i was drawing the birds on my first attempt at the gif i was drawing them intentionally for the computer making it easier for my self. i drew these with the intention to create a flip book, if it worked on the pages it would work on the computer.







not many frames but its enough to create the illusion of movement, by the fourth frame the only thing i moved was the shading under the beak and the eye upwards the head, this was enough to suggest that the head was moving. 

to the dreaded computer.


after i scanned the images i cropped the image into squares. i changed the level for a crisper more cleaner look. i needed help making the the frames into revers so the image was forever running.

i decided to put a fluttering bird in the back ground to give it depth. again i thought i was able to create this illusion on my own but with my limited skill on photo shop this was a challenge for me.

i googled it but i couldn't figure out what it would be called or what to type so i asked for help again.
i was shown a couple of times and i finally got the hang of what i was shown.

when creating the bird flying in the back ground, i decided to keep it minimill and with no detail. just keeping it the basic shape and form will help the illusion of fast movement.
  

more and more frames and layers was starting to build up and it started to confuse me and i was getting lost and more confused about photoshop. i feel I'm slowly learning more things with photoshop but still not at a comfortable level to be creating gifs. i couldn't create one on my own i would have to have someone over my shoulder watching me do it with out messing it up. but hopefully after a few more gif experiments and 2 more final gifs will leave me been able to create a gif on my own.
