(s)Tumbled Onto My Hitchcock Posters
Yesterday I was scrolling through my Tumblr feed and suddenly saw my animated Rear Window movie poster as part of a collection of animated GIF movie posters posted by The Creators Project. Well how did that happen? Apparently ten days ago an imgur user with an impossibly long username had collected a number of animated movie…

Busted
I have plans to make a Lifeboat animated GIF as part of my Hitchcock animated movie poster series, but it’s going to take a lot of work. So I feel like I need to do an easier one in the short term, and To Catch A Thief is looking fun and relatively easy. Carey Grant, sadly yes…

Psycho Animated Movie Poster
Phew! This poster is done! It was harder to make than the previous four Hitchcock posters to date, but the real problem was that other efforts became a distraction over the past few weeks (good stuff honestly). But I was able to lock in over the past couple of days and I spent most of…

Ready to Recover
I’m going to finish the Psycho animated poster tonight. Hacking away at my anxieties.

Norman the Peeper
I’m working on my next animated GIF Hitchcock poster, next up is Psycho, and right now I’m thinking of deviating from the original poster dramatically.

The Birds – Animated Movie Poster

Reorienting My Compass, North by Northwest?
It’s been over a year since I first discovered ds106 and it’s amazing to me how much creative energy I’ve discovered since then – I’ve made more work in the past year than I have in the previous ten, seriously. Ok this isn’t exactly true, I’ve made many things over the past decade, but they’ve…

Rear Window Animated Movie Poster
Alan Levine’s post about watching cool flick’s with Jim Groom finally got me to get of the snide and finish this animated movie poster for the amazing Hitchcock classic Rear Window. I have an older post with animated GIFs from Rear Window, but all things GIF need to ratcheted up a notch every few weeks.…

4 Icon Challenge – They Said I Led a Dull Life
I still enjoy making my own icons for this assignment using the live trace tool in Illustrator. I made a quick tutorial of how I do this using the Dr. Oblivion image as my example to convert a bitmap to vectors. And please guess away, the biplane should be the tell tale icon for most!
