For this assignment, we were tasked with finding a video clip and then make it playback in reverse over and over again as a GIF. The challenge was finding something that is mind-blowing when played backward. I decided to take a previous video I had filmed during my family’s new year celebration. I love videos of fireworks backward. Unfortunately, I only had one video of fireworks so I had to make this one work if I wanted to keep that idea. To make the gif I found the original video which was taken on Snapchat and I edited it to play in reverse. I saved the new video to my phone and uploaded it onto the website I used, giphy.com. Very few edits were made on giphy, I just had to figure out how to frame the gif. I think this one worked out really well! The timing works out just well enough to where the break in the loop doesn’t interfere with the video at all and it seems fairly smooth.
