Animated Still Photos as NFTs

I have added 2 NFTs to my collection which I just minted a while ago. I'm getting amused on creating single edition NFTs in Bitclout since it's very easy and cheap. Although I haven't sold anything yet, I think the sense of achievement that I'm getting is what motivates me to keep it going.

It's my way of learning new skills in photoshop. Animating still photos adds more appeal to a rather boring image. Also, it's eye-catchy.

Here are my trials in animating still photos.

For this first piece, I failed to make it looping; all it's doing is a forward-backward movement.

The way I did it is by creating 2 distinct images in photoshop and then imported them to a website that allows me to convert them into a GIF.

And here's the youtube video tutorial:

For this 2nd piece, I already managed to create a looping sequence and made it look endless.

Everything was done through Photoshop. Although there's no exact tutorial on how I did my animated photo, here's a Youtube video that served as my reference.

Both tutorials are relatively easy for as long as you have the basic knowledge of operating Photoshop. But if I'm to compare both tutorials, I would say that the first one is the simplest and fastest approach in creating GIFs.

Cheers!
