For one of our projects in our art and technology course, we created animated GIF using using Piskelapp.com. I found the process to be fairly easy to create and edit, having no previous experience creating pixel art nor animations. I based my image on the character of "Sarah" from my favorite movie Labyrinth. She is "walking" in her ballgown she wears in one of the scenes. Her hair sways back and forth as she steps, and the "sequins" on her dress change with her movements as if shining in the light. I found this very similar to stop motion animation, but with a digital twist. I feel that my future students would really enjoy this simple to use program, and it would teach them the basics of animation with a vintage flair, since it is reminiscent of the pixel animations used in old video games such as Super Mario Bros. It modifies the traditional animation practices of pencil and paper or claymation by adding in the computer element.
