Okay, here is the blog post about my experience making a GIF of Emilia Clarke from Secret Invasion.
So, I saw this video the other day of Emilia Clarke on the set of Secret Invasion, that new Marvel show on Disney+. She was filming this crazy fight scene, all bruised up and wrestling with some dude in a CGI suit. And I thought, “Man, that would make an awesome GIF!”
First, I had to find the video. It wasn’t hard, there were a few versions floating around Twitter. I grabbed one that had a pretty good angle of the action. It showed Emilia’s character really struggling, looked like she was fighting for her life. I downloaded it to my computer so I could start messing with it.
Next, I needed to figure out which part of the video I wanted to use for the GIF. I watched it a bunch of times, looking for the most intense bit. There’s this one part where the CGI guy is choking her, and she’s trying to break free. I decided that was the money shot.
- Opened up a free online video editor – didn’t want to install anything fancy.
- Uploaded the video clip I downloaded.
- Trimmed the video down to just the part I wanted. It was only a few seconds long.
- Then I used the “video to GIF” feature. Super simple.
- I played around with the settings a bit. Adjusted the frame rate, the size, stuff like that.
- Finally, I hit the “create” button and boom! My GIF was born.
It took a few tries to get it just right. I had to go back and adjust the start and end points a couple of times to make it loop smoothly. But after a little tinkering, I had a pretty sweet GIF of Emilia Clarke kicking butt in Secret Invasion.
I gotta say, it was easier than I thought it would be. There are tons of free tools online that make it super simple. If you’ve got a video clip you want to turn into a GIF, give it a shot! You might surprise yourself with what you can create.
Oh, and I saw this promo where Emilia was talking about all the surprises in Secret Invasion. Now I’m even more hyped for the show! It’s supposed to come out on June 21st, so not too long to wait. I’ll definitely be watching, and maybe making some more GIFs!
There is also a video of her loading and readying her fire, which makes me think that her character is probably one of the important characters, looking forward to it!
Someone also mentioned that there will probably be a group of Skrulls trying to take over the earth, and Nick Fury will lead a good team to stop them. Could Emilia Clarke’s character be one of them? I can’t wait to see!
