Illustrative Story: GIF

Illustrative Story: Rough

Once I had completed half of my illustrative story, I counted a total of 122 frames. 

Before making the final frames, I tested out various GIF programs to see how my current frames would work in an actual sequence.

With that many frames, I was unable to find a program that could process all 122 of them for a GIF. Since I estimated that I would have at least 300 frames in total, I had to limit how many frames to make for the final product.
