• Creating a Sequence of Images
• Open a graphics application (Ive used the free
  image editor application Graphic Converter)
• Create and/or download and save a series of
  images in a folder
• Images must be the same size (ex. 400x320)
• Save them as 01.gif, 02.gif, 03.gif, etc.

Saving The Files

  destination folder with the sequence of .gif
  files.
