Accepting the INVITE

Make sure you accept the invite (sent to your email) that gives you permission to post on the Galley Blog!

Q: After I accept the invite where do I post my Gallery blog inventory list again?

A: http://summerlandscapesgallery.blogspot.com/



***Follow the direction given in a previous post "Sending things from this blog to the gallery blog"

The fastest method for transferring things from your personal blog to the class blog is copying and pasting the html because this is allowing you to grab EVERYTHING you posted and re-post all at once. Once you paste EVERYTHING to the gallery blog you can switch from HTML to "compose" and delete the images that don't make the cut.

Sending things from this blog to the gallery blog

What you send to the Gallery Blog  should be executed in ONE post!


1. After you choose what will make it into the final selection for the gallery blog click on the edit button below the images you wish to transfer.

2. Make sure you are in HTML mode! The other mode (that we do not want) is called "Compose".

3. Copy the HTML code for your post.

4. In another tab, open the gallery blog (this will allow you to go back and forth). Click new post, make sure you are in HTML mode and Paste!

5. Now click update to see if the image or images transferred successfully.


**** there is a blogger button at the bottom of each post that could also transfer your post to the gallery blog. Feel free to try it. If that doesn't work use the above method.

Other ways to capture frames

 Q: Can I make the entire animation in Photoshop?

A: Yes! Using photoshop you can convert layers to frames and then export as a .mov file. There are tutorials for this on Youtube.



 Q: Can I take video and then create a stop motion from that?

A: Yes! You can use software like Istopmotion to capture frames.







Q: Can I create the entire animation using Imovie.
A: Yes. Tutorial is below.
