Edweard Muybridge was a 19th-century photographer known for his innovative work in capturing motion through sequential images, which inspired my animated GIF. I chose a dark alley as the background to create a sense of fear and suspense, and used a cat as the subject to reflect a sudden, eerie encounter. Using Adobe Photoshop, I removed the background from the cat images, arranged them in a sequence to show movement, and animated the frames through the Timeline window. My goal was to create a smooth, realistic motion, and I want the audience to notice the calm, subtle pacing just before the cat jumps—adding tension and enhancing the dramatic effect, much like Muybridge’s motion studies.
