Today I decided to incorporate a part of my daily routine and turn it into a gif for my DS106 assignment. I had the idea of doing a similar gif with the fruit I ate, but thought that doing it with coffee would be more aesthetic. I took a picture of the glass right after I poured my coffee so that I would have a starting image. I then took a sip, took a picture…. took a sip, took a picture… you get the point. The hardest part was making sure the straw was in a similar spot each time. It isn’t perfect but I tried! In order to keep the coffee in the same spot in the frame, I set my phone up on a candle so that neither the phone or the glass moved. Smooth like peanut butter? Not really, but I am still happy with how it turned out!

Creating the gif was simple. I uploaded a few images onto EZGIF.com and it created the gif for me! I originally was unable to upload the gif, as it was too large of a file. Fortunately, the website allowed me to resize it! I was then able to upload it as a smaller file.
