Old is New

No, that's not a definition from the Newspeak dictionary. It's a title for this post of my "homework" assignment from the Explore Animation class I'm participating in on-line through the National Film and Television School.

When the World Wide Web was new, getting movement on your website was only possible by using animated gifs (graphics interchange format). I created a lot of them in the 90s, and found it amusing when they started appearing again. I hadn't made one in years, but this homework assignment  seemed like a good opportunity to remember the old and make it new again. The task was to create an animated ball with a flip book. I didn't have the supplies I needed for that project, so I created this instead! It's not a masterpiece, but it was fun to figure out how to do it in the newest version Photoshop.
