digitalpubliclibraryofamerica:Meet the Winners of GIF IT UP! (Part 2)Europeana WinnerA Europeana-sponsored prize for best reuse of materials from the Europeana 280 campaign.“Hard Work” by A. L. Crego from A Coruña, Galicia, Spain using source material from BRANDTS and the Wellcome Library via the European Library via Europeana. This gif is made available under a CC-BY-SA license.Trove General PrizeA Trove-sponsored prize for best reuse of materials found in Trove.“Don’t get mad, get elected!” was created by Tim Highfield from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia using source material from Libraries Australia via Trove. This gif is made available under a CC-BY-SA license.From the Trove Judges: There’s nothing more Australian than Parliament House, with its massive white and steel building buried beneath green lawns and set against the backdrop of Red Hill as the flag flies high . The work that has gone into animating this GIF is quite intricate up close and we really liked that. There’s great visual appeal with catchy colours like the bright pink of her dress, the iconic image of a giant, and the “attack of the election woman” feel captures the mood of the moment."Ballroom dancing in the Bush” was created by Heather Simpson from Canberra, Australia using source material from CSIRO ScienceImage, Flickr user Kris McCracken, and Gosford Library via Flickr via Trove. This gif is made available under a CC-BY-NC-SA license.From the Trove Judges: It was the juxtaposition of the formal dancers against the rugged Australian landscape that screamed ‘Wow factor’! Though the background image is from the Central Highlands in Tasmania, the Canberra-dwelling judges could have sworn they were looking at the very familiar Brindabellas. The re-creation of the ballroom dress out of butterfly wings, the movement of both dancers’ legs and the amount of creativity when compared to the originals made this one a stand out for us."Tasmanian Aerial Pageant” was created by Seinerzeitung from Vienna, Austria using source material from Flickr user Trainiac via Trove. This gif is made available under a CC-BY-SA license.From the Trove Judges: There is clearly so much work in the movement of each of these planes over a number of frames that this entry begged to be chosen. The scene is utterly emblematic of a WW2 dogfight, we were shocked to find out it was actually in Tasmania."Summer on the Sprinkler” was created by Hannah Shelley from Sydney, Australia using source material from Museum Victoria via Trove. This gif is made available under a CC-BY license.From the Trove Judges: This scene is strikingly familiar to the childhood of millions of Australians: a hot summer’s day on the backyard grass, squeals of laughter ringing out as you’re running and jumping while the sprinkler sprays cold water everywhere. The more we looked at this image the more impressed we became by the technical work to make it so smooth and the background so consistent.Trove Student WinnerA Trove-sponsored prize for best reuse of materials found in Trove by an Australian secondary school student.“Laser Cat” by Bella Luciani from Australia using source material from Flickr user PJ R via Trove. This gif is made available under a CC-BY-NC license.From the Trove Judges: The idea of a cat capturing its own fish dinner then cooking it with its laser eyes cracked us up. -- source link
