http://www.gifyoutube.com/gif/ZKkyj3 The first person I thought of when making a gif was Emma Stone. She makes the greatest faces when she acts, and they’re hilarious. Since I love food and Emma Stone, I wanted to capture this clip of her saying “Yum” from Easy A. The way she says it with her facial expressions is perfect. […]

MEME MONDAY

Because it’s flu season and I could not come to class friday, I have double the memes today. My first meme is the Bad Luck Brian meme, themed around our homecoming game this weekend. Because how many of us stumble to the game realizing we don’t have our student ID’s and cannot actually get in. […]

    The Horse on a Treadmill is a banner around which Virginia Tech Hokies rally during some of of darkest hours, football games. I was trying to capture an eternally running Horse on the Treadmill. This being a gif and not a single motionless picture is a key for what I was trying to […]

I decided to take one of these scenes where the gestural mode of communication is the main mode. This image of Joey screaming […]

Laughing at cats in class for a grade. Yes.

This is Bido the cat slapping a kitten. My friend showed me the video a couple years ago, and it hasn’t stopped being hilarious yet. I wanted to capture the part of the video where Bido gets mad and slaps the kitten, since that’s the good part. I wish I could’ve gone a half second […]

The One With the Routine

Today we had to make a GIF and I decided to use “the routine” from Friends as my GIF. I specifically chose the last part of the routine because the pose is my favorite part. A caption for my GIF would be “when I get an A on a test.” I wanted my GIF to […]

Close up and personal

When I wake up and there is still a pig in my apartment…. I thought maybe Stanley the pig was a dream or a joke. But no – I woke up this morning, and there was still a pig snorting around the living room. So, with that in mind, this GIF is an extension of […]

Creating Memes and GIFs…

I created this from a scene of the movie Hot Fuzz. The context is that it seems every time I go somewhere and bring my dog, someone asks a question along the lines of “why do we need the dog?” Usually they … Continue reading
