The Graphics Interchange Format<\/a> (GIF) is a bitmap image format. The format can support the compilation of a sequence of still images and when played back, it generates a moving picture. GIF animations are gaining popularity again as a form of creative expression and as a method to use moving pictures to illustrate or explain concepts. In this section, you will create your own animated GIF from a sequence of still frames.

The following animated GIF examples illustrate the utility of moving pictures to illustrate concepts. In this challenge you are not required to produce complex animations. However, simple animations can add value to the online media you produce.
