I was worried that my digital GIF wasn't particularly interesting, and it isn't really. but I'm not particularly savvy with Photoshop so went for something very simple and I think it actually turned out pretty well. I also like how the action in this GIF repeats in a way that seems believable whereas in the other GIFs, the actions seem like something that would really only happen once and the fact that they're looped seems a little forced.
This GIF was the most time consuming and the amount of frames that this ended up being meant that they didn't really have much time to properly explore many possibilities for the others. However, I do think it payed off and I am really happy with this, despite the fact it doesn't work particularly well as a repeating GIF, more as just a short animation. I think the slightly odd, very slow movements give it a very wierd eerie feel which was exactly what I was after. The inconsistencies in size and shape of the character also actually work as a strength as well I think. Because the movements between each 'mistake' or, change to the character's shape, are so fluid, it seems more like it is slightly morphing or something, and heightens the strangeness of it all.
My 3D is definitely the least successful of the three and it could have probably used more planning. I do still think the look of it is quite good and the use of negative does make the bed sheet look more like a landscape, and overall makes the imagery seem a little more alien. Unfortunately, I was only using my phone to take the pictures and so had to set it up in a sort of box/stand thing I made to try and make sure it would stay still, and it didn't work, hence the massive jerk at the end. I should have planned a little better and borrowed a camera and tripod from college maybe.
