For this assignment, we had to turn a GIF into a reverse GIF, which is called a FIG.  This seemed like an interesting way to change the outcome of a short clip.

I first went on giphy.com to find an already made GIF. I found the clip here. Finding a GIF was a lot more difficult than I anticipated. There are so many choices to pick from. However, the search had to be somewhat specific because all of these GIFs are either already made with wording, or they’re made without a lot dramatics, especially when put in reverse order. At first, I spent some time looking up television shows that I enjoy and that have some fun dramatics, but when I put them in reverse order, they didn’t come out the way I wanted them to.

I decided to go with the penguins because the original clip was cute. A penguin on top of a soccer ball is pretty interesting. Then he gets knocked down. The reverse came out pretty nice. In order to make it a FIG, I researched, “How to reverse a GIF” on Google. It brought me to ezgif.com, which was extremely easy to work with. All I had to do was insert the URL from the original GIF and press ‘submit.’ When I did this, I also slowed down the rate of the newly made FIG for it to be readable. Once I got it to the speed I wanted, I hit the ‘save’ button and it downloaded right to my computer. I was then able to upload it to my blog!
