Animation: The art of bringing still images to life

When people search their feeds on social media, they make lightning-fast choices about what content they will be paying attention to. Animated visuals add a bit of movement in this context, which can attract the eye and create value in a short, catchy way. Short animations can be less daunting to produce than video. To make them move, animation simply combines drawings, photographs, text, or computer graphics.

  1. Animation: The art of bringing still images to life When people search their feeds on social media, they make lightning-fast choices about what content they will be paying attention to. Animated visuals add a bit of movement in this context, which can attract the eye and create value in a short, catchy way. Short animations can be less daunting to produce than video. To make them move, animation simply combines drawings, photographs, text, or computer graphics. You don't have to talk ahead of a camera. With a short animation, a good first impression is that animation will inspire viewers to watch longer videos and continue to engage with your content. Popular Types Swift animations aren't split into formal forms, but you continue to see some conventional approaches. The background is usually fixed in a one- to a three-second animated image, and only content is animated. You could see a mini-slideshow, too. A GIF is a static, animated loop which is often used to express a sensation. GIFs became immensely popular on social media. GIFs have begun to appear in blog posts and emails but have expanded to messaging applications such as Slack and Facebook Messenger. Another form is a 3- to a 10-second video that you can create with any app. Finally, Instagram and Snapchat stories allow you to blend and share photos or videos in fast successions. GIFs are a perfect way of displaying specific emotions in blog posts and emails, incorporating satire, or simply breaking up content. You need to be cautious if you use GIFs, though. We suggest using GIFs sparingly. Using no more than two GIFs in a blog post, and one is enough in email. There are so many GIFs like disco lights going off at a nightclub. When inserting a GIF in an email, test the size of the file, and compress the GIF until you add it to your inbox. The email is less likely to get truncated when you compress the GIF. How to Get Animations Out Try making something original. There's always something new or unique that sticks out. Choose your photos instead of the images that come with models, whether you have used pictures or your own new photos beforehand. Then start to play with the resources. Combine stuff with GIFs and short video, and customize them for each particular platform. On Facebook, some things work better, on Instagram others. Make the image look eye-catching at first. So if you want to have an image of you animated, looking up for “make myself a cartoon," "make me cartoon online," or "comic version of me” might help you find the most appropriate resources and services.
