I've just been thinking about how to make a Gif that loops properly and interestingly, and how to make sure the story I'm trying to tell ends where it begins. I thought it could be funny to see a tree trunk act independently of it's leaves, as while they are part of the same plant, they each change in very separate ways throughout the course of their lives. Trees and leaves change in appearance all the time independent to each other so I wanted to see a tree and its leaves interacting as two separate entities. I wanted to suggest a sort of awkward friendship (more of an acquaintanceship) between the two, as I cant imagine they would have much to do with one another than smile. The only problem is I can't really see this idea going much further, and while I enjoy how awkward it is, the gif would probably have to be longer than I'd like in order to convey that sense of awkwardness that I enjoy about this idea.
This idea was a more dynamic one, as I wanted to investigate what a tree goes through every year when the seasons change and it loses all its leaves and grows them all back again rapidly. From a human perspective that sounds very stressful, so I thought speeding up the process could prove to be funny. I think this one would loop a lot better too as the end point and start point are more clearly defined and roughly the same. I feel that this sort of movement would be a mad challenge to animate too, so I'll continue to investigate other routes to make the best use of the time we have.
