First attempt at the GIF

For this weeks challenge the topic is "Threshold" (Threshold: The piece of timber or stone which lies below the bottom of a door. and has to be crossed in entering a house; the sill of a doorway; hence, the entrance to a house or building.)

Basically the experience of change from passing from one place to another. For the chance game, there were 4 options of:
Small<->Large, Up<->Down
On Bike, On Foot
Ivory Board, Plaster Cast (Blue Foam, Polystyrene)
Computer Generated Model, Digital Collage

I decided to have all my options as white and I was given, Up<->Down, On Bike, Ivory Board and Digital Collage. From the Up<->Down process, the first thing that came to mind was how life has it's ups and downs, how there are troughs and peaks in life and the hardship to climb to the peak. Therefore I wanted a threshold that incorporated both up and down. My concept was basically a tunnel through a mountain, where one side is a very natural and beautiful environment with green lands covering the floors and the other side a busy city life. Both sides are a progression in life where the air gets better in the natural environment where the city life is more industrial and modern.

I made the GIF file frame by frame which was a nuisance to make.
