DS106: Capture/Screenshot a scene from an episode of a TV show or a movie and try to make a poster for that episode or movie. Try to make it cool! Be creative!
Here is my gif from the opening and repeated scenes of ‘The Prisoner’. I used Free Video Cutter to make the gif.
I entitled this gif “Where am I?”
Here are some of the comments I received on G+ for this gif.

Very nice dear. I like the effect you’ve got there of going around-and-around. Although for those of us with motion sickness issues, I’m feeling awfully dizzy.

Yes, very dizzying. Wasn’t exactly what I was going for, but I’ll take what I can get on my first try.

I have to say you did a great job on this +janet webster . It looks like something +John Johnston would’ve made. A smooth GIF that tells a story in more ways than one. Bravo!

Bravo! Well made.
I kinda recognize the fast style of Mariana’s gifs too in it.

Not necessarily intentional 😉

Well that’s how it works, you get influenced without knowing it.

Cool! Glad you found a way. It is a lovely one. Make sure you add the tags for the assignment when you do your post so you get credit units! +janet webster

+Nana Lou thank for the compliment. This looks a bit deeper than me:-) I see the repetitive nature of the series, resign and be dammed again and again. nice stuff.

Still inspired by the above gif made by John Johnston, I took the still images from my own gif’s clip captured from John Johnston’s blog and made a book-cover or poster for ‘The Prisoner’ series. I wanted to keep the monochromatic scheme of the typewriter and photo still of #6 with the XXXXXXXXXXX across his face. The word ‘Resigned’ is a key word in the themes presented in this series, so I used it as a title instead of “The Prisoner”.
The floating head (a la John the Baptist) is somewhat unnerving, but I wanted to give that sense in my composition. I also like to build in ambiguity to my compositions.
I don’t have a lot of time to devote to these assignments, and I usually do them late at night, so I look for quick and easy technical solutions to my creative ideas.
