For this assignment, we were asked to make a GIF out of a home video. One video instantly stuck out to me. This video is when I was probably 4 years old singing a nursery rhyme I used to love. In this video it’s both my dad and I singing and him filling in the words when I don’t remember them. Though GIF’s don’t typically have sound, I thought it took away from the video a little bit. You can no longer tell what I am saying or what I am singing, nor can hear my little 4 year old voice, which is the only disappointing part! This home video was originally about 3 minutes long and I have shortened it to just 7 seconds to make it a more average length for a GIF.
To do this, I simply uploaded the video onto my computer, clicked edit, and trimmed the video several times to get the video to as short as I wanted it. From there I was able to back it up and embed the “GIF” onto this page via uploading it video onto GIPHY. It was relatively simple to do and took little effort to trim it to my exact specifications.
