 * __Using moving images in Myths & Legends__**

Whilst using the Myths and Legends interactive storyboard program (see left) i had the idea that instead of using the stock pictures, it would also be nice to use your own pictures or photos from your documents folder. That then made me think how great it would be to be able to add moving pictures to your stories so that you and your friends could star in your own stories and be actually moving!

A GIF file is a moving image made up of several similar pictures which, when cycled through quickly, simulate mopvement in the subject. Here are some examples that i made very quickly: (these were done quickly and are not very convincing. The effect works far better than this if the pictures are more similar with just slight movements)

Use a free program such as [] to create your GIF images and then save them to your documents folder.
