6SecondHistory

Aims to repurpose historical 2D artworks into short 6 second cut out styled animations. Could be thriller, spooky tale, music promo, interesting historical fact

Hats off to the @NASA #ArtemisII Moon #integrity crew for breaking a new furthest away from the Earth record and for kicking a Nutella bottle triumphantly across the capsule in true historic style just before momentous occasion of moon fly by

I feel very humbled as this little defiant cook animation made me the Grand Prize winner in the @Europeanaeu #gifitup competition 2025. It was such a fun creation to make and stretched my skills in new and innovative ways. Fantastic!

And another animation, this time a chef taking stock and dealing with an unwelcome kitchen pot guest #gifitup2025

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

There was also a tranquil animated sailing boat gif I made from a dinner plate painting #gifitup2025

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

So I created some extra food animation gifs for my @Europeanaeu students as inspiration earlier this year and I did like my Lobster Salad one #gifitup2025

@Europeanaeu #adobefresco #animation With the forthcoming Online Creative Residency exploring the theme of food heritage just around the corner, I thought in preparation, I’d practise remixing and bringing some Oranges posters to life with a little fun animated gif

#MerryChristmas everyone. Have loads of festive fun

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

I have to say AI tech is becoming incredible as during #gifitup2024 I’ve managed to use Adobe Firefly to colourise the @Europeanaeu Penny Farthing cyclist scene and then animate it again by splitting it up in Photoshop and giving it motion in Adobe Fresco!

Happy #halloween2024 #Halloween Last chance to have some fun animating @Europeanaeu images for #gifitup2024 #gifitup

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

#GIFITUP2024 #gifitup Trying to get into the swing of things at the start of #halloween week, so it seems only fitting to animate a devilish image from @Europeanaeu putting that idea into action, whilst at the same time getting a little too carried away with it!

@Europeanaeu #FridayMotivation Adobe have made their art & motion app #AdobeFresco @AdobeVideo free. Great news if you’re wanting to create a short animation for #gifitup #gifitup2024 It’s what I’ve used, together with Photoshop to pit this Penny Farthing racer against the snails

#MondayMotivation @Europeanaeu What an exotic adventure and the trip of a lifetime, plus an incredible honour, being allowed safe passage to sail gently through these magic, but perilous lands, by none other than The King of the Mountains himself! #gifitup #gifitup2024

@Europeanaeu In my latest animated gif for #GIFITUP2024 This clumsy giant wants to help a local truck driver transport a massive rock, but in doing so inadvertently drops it, resulting in somewhat dire, but also comical consequences, as he can’t help what his body does next lol!

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

@Europeanaeu Cheers all. You know much I like doing these #gifitup animations. Even now I keep discovering new images to play with. Fantastic!

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

Anyone fishing for #gifitup2024 #gifitup images on @Europeanaeu this #weekend to make a fun little animation. Well, maybe my little angling monster animated gif will hopefully give you some inspiration to help create yours too!

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

If music be the food of love then why not check out the diverse range of musical content on @Europeanaeu and you too can then create an animated gif for #gifitup2024

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

#Sundayfeeling Hearing some relaxing music and watching our granddaughter’s very focused little face trying to do her much needed business with so much determination, was all I needed as inspiration to make another #gifitup #gifitup2024 animation

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

So here it comes again, the annual #gifitup #gifitup2024 competition which @Europeanaeu put on annually throughout October. Creatively, it’s great fun to get involved in. Thought I’d get the ball rolling early with a new animated gif I put together over the weekend. Enjoy!

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

This was the original pic which inspired me #Monday_Motivation

[6SecondHistory @6SecondHistory]

Getting inspired by travels in France & Italy recently to create a fun animation on the theme of journeys for @Europeanaeu #DigiStoryFest creativity residency, so naturally I’ve taken inspiration from my ferry journey to Lake Como’s Bellagio to create a lively jumping sea serpent
