For my second summer project I had a go at making a few gifs with some simple colour and text editing. I have seen many online such as this and this, and thought it would be good to have a try myself. I used KMPlayer to record the frames I needed, and made the edits in Gimp.
The first gif was very simple as all I wanted to do was add a line of text. To do this I opened the text tab in Gimp, types what I wanted it to say, and changed the colour and font. The font is one I figured out how to download from online. However, I added on a single frame (when the singer flashes white) blue text instead of pink, to see the effect that the flash would have. The finished product is shown below, taken from the music video B.F.F.
The second gif was trickier, because I was changing the colour effect as well as adding some text. I had to lower the saturation and lightness, as well as increase the contrast slightly, to each individual frame. There were thirty-four frames in total, and when I watched the playback I noticed three frames were lighter than the rest of the gif because I had forgotten to increase the contrast. I went back and corrected them, then added my signature to the corner of each slide to mark it as mine. The finished product is shown below, taken from the music video Joyriding.
