“Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. The effect is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in several ways.” – Wikipedia

The software used today was Styks. It allowed us to create an animation using GIF.  I asked you to save it as GIF as this is a common file format that can be edited with ease in other programs.

Most of the class then discovered that Fireworks could be used to edit the GIF and re-save it. There are other packages that allow you to edit an animated GIF, have a look for some freeware examples.

If you managed to do this then please post a blog of your finished artwork.
