My animation Double YIKES!!!

Again, my inspiration for this web page was the Cotton Club during the Harlem Renaissance. My animation is a still picture of a couple dancing. I used the East Gif Animator for windows. I manipulated this photo by using the effect of rotating and spinning to give to some type of illusion that they are dancing. So I found this upbeat tune which people may know called the “Maple Leaf Rag.” I used this tune because it was upbeat and it seem like a tune that people from the Harlem Renaissance dance to. So enjoy.

My Movie YIKES!!!

My inspiration for this web page was the Cotton Club during the Harlem Renaissance. So for my movie, I am doing still images that represent the Cotton Club and the Harlem Renaissance. The Cotton Club was a famous night club in New York City. While the club featured many of the greatest African American entertainers of the era, such as Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, and Billie Holiday; it generally denied admission to blacks. During its heyday, it served as a chic meeting spot in the heart of Harlem, featuring regular Celebrity Nights on Sundays. The music I chose was Fletcher Henderson’s “Stockholm Stomp” which was performed at the Cotton Club. The only thing I am concerned about is if it flows like Gilbert’s movie. I just need more practice.
