James Curran explains how he makes animated GIFs
James Curran is one of my favorite original animated GIF makers. And in this video from Adobe Creative Cloud, he explains in tons of detail (with examples too!) of how he goes about creating his wonderful endlessly looping animated GIFs. His GIFs are so simple looking but they seem quite complicated to create. Watch this master of After Effects at work!

James Curran created 30 wonderful animated GIFs of NYC in 30 days
I love this so much. In November of this past year, James Curran spent 30 days in NYC and each day he made an animated GIF to sum up his experience here. He created a hashtag, #NYCGifathon, that you can go back and follow or you can see all of the animated GIFs in the video above.
You can also check out each individual GIF on his website.
