In response to the gif workshop I decided to go away and make a little tester to get what we had learnt into my head. So I just drew this simple girl character on photoshop and, then using shift whilst duplicating frames, I made it look like she was rolling her eyes. This is really simple and has a couple of glitches, overall its not really that great...and does not resemble what I want my final gifs to look like at all. BUT making it did help me better understand how to make gifs and how long this can take. Also it showed me just how moving one component of an image can communicate a feeling or mood of a character reasonably effectively. Its made me think that I shouldn't overcomplicate the animation in my gifs...and that simple can actually work really well.
