I wanted to do something different working towards a final piece so I thought about doing a video. I thought I video would take long to shoot and edit right so I then looked at creating GIFs (Graphic Interchange Format) These are becoming more and more popular on the internet and I thought it would great to create my own one. I looked into different ways of making them, there are websites that would turn your video clip into a gif format for you and I downloaded a free programme off the Mac App store named 'Final GIF Cut'. These were okay for turning a short clip of a TV programme into a looping video but I wanted to have more control over it and I discovered I could create them in Photoshop.
These are some GIFs of models that I found that I really liked and thought I could replicate similar ones of.

As I test and to get used to making them, I just shot a little video in my bedroom to practice with. This is the full version without any editing.
This is an edited version I did. I wanted to continue with my theme of glitch art and disrupted images. I used techniques I'd done previously one photos such like cutting out strips adding noise. A also swapped some frames around and took some out which I thought worked really well. I also shot the video in a grainy noise feature as well to make it look 'old-school'.
Also whilst looking into glitch are i discovered a technique in video called datamoshing. Datamoshing is basically taking away all the I frames (still image) in a video so that only the P frames (movement) comes through.
This video explains it pretty well:

These are some of my favourite examples of datamoshing with gifs:
I really like these and would love to create my own but I've got little time left to finish this project so if I have time to explore this technique I will but either way I'm defiantly going to practice this in my own time.
