GIF-ing out!

As I’ve mentioned before, animated GIF’s are everywhere online and just seem to keep growing in popularity. And why not? Why have just a picture when you can have one that moves? They are pretty simple to make, even though the ones below need work. The first one looks like the cameraman had a tremor (the camera was on a tripod, so I don’t know why we’re shaking).
Social media has made it so the most popular or funny GIF’s spread like wildfire and they are the main attraction of Tumblr. In fact, recognizing the popularity of the medium, Pinterest just added a GIF feature to their site last week. I know you can make your profile picture a animated GIF in Twitter but the feed doesn’t support them. Facebook is the only one who doesn’t support these magical little dream pics at all.
So we decided to one-up Facebook and GIF out! We used images instead of video but the bottom two aren’t bad. Let us know what you think!
