There are ‘continuous picture’ and ‘time delay’ options available in many smart-phone cameras which can be used to create an animated GIF for the following purposes.
For telling a story
For explaining an action
For illustrating a concept
For giving a contextual message
For creating an eye-catching advertisement
For creating a relevant animated quote
For creating a animated poster
For creative application for academic learning of curricular content or concept
For dual-code communication on abstract ideas
The inset GIF-quote has been created by taking six continuous picture of a smoke rising from an incense stick and a quote on smoke was typed to convey the message about life with language art use.
Earlier, I had made an animate smoke GIF to explain diffusion of gases by putting the GIF at mid-line and typing salient facts of diffusion around it.
Also, there are online GIF makers such as PixTeller are available to create your GIFs for converting thoughts and ideas into interesting and dual-code communication.
Creating purposeful and relevant GIFs enhances visual intelligence and thinking skills to make you a better learner and communicator. It is matter of experimenting and learning-by-doing.
