For my GIF, I have a shortened clip of my dog Duke. In the original video, he is enjoying some scratches on his belly and rolling around on the floor. Dogs will forever be the best animal to have in my opinion. They truly live to be our best friends, and we are their life’s work. I originally had a photo with a caption, and I realized that this was actually a meme and not a GIF. My biggest problem was coming up with a good caption to go along with my video. I managed to shorten the clip and come up with a caption based on his actions. I made my GIF with GIPHY by sending the video from my phone to my laptop and then uploading the video to GIPHY. From there, I was able to shorten the video and crop it down to the correct portion and add a caption. I really liked the addition of stickers on the site to add to my GIF and help it get my point across and connect to my caption. I didn’t realize how easy GIF’s were to create, and it makes me want to figure out how to use my GIFs in my own text messages.
