"Behind the gifs": The Backstories Exposed!

Animated gifs. Hours of laughs, seconds at a time. But what happened right before those funny moments capured in their 256-color animated form? Well thanks to a reddit thread, the behind-the-scenes stories are finally exposed! Below are three examples of what you can find there.   Disclaimer: some of the Reddit posts fall on the inappropriate side.

I have assigned  my students the task of exposing the backstory of their favorite gifs using the Pixton comic creation software. My hope is that their final products will look even better than many on the reddit thread. I'll be posting some of my favorites they come up with in an upcoming ShimaTech post.

In the meantime, enjoy these samples after the break... 

Here's another….
