Step one
Open your sprite sheet in paint
Open another paint
and open the other programs

Change the back ground to a color not on the sprite (greens a good one)

Get the first part of the animation and highlight it (dont need to be exact just keep it as close as possible)

Paste it into the empty paint window

Stretch so theres room
Copy all and paste into gif animator
Now with the sprite sheet I gave you you can just flip it (saves time)
and paste it to gif animator

Get the next frame

Paste it into paint and click the bit surrounded in red and line up his foot so its over the other
Then click the bit above (the rest of the background should become green)
Get rid of any of the bits remainin
Copy paste to gif animator
Flip the image
paste into gif animator

Now in gif animator

Color code
Green is for your copy paste
Red is for movein the frame up and down
Blue is the order there displayed
Yellow is for previewin

Arrange the images so they look in the correct order (preview if unsure)
Now click on "animation"
Then "looping" followed by "repeat forever"
Then image
Click on the two squares on top of the one square (it highlights all the frames)
Right I have color coded the next bit

Red is for how long each frame is (7 is good)
Put the green bit onto "restore background"
Now in the blue box click the "transparency" box (it should auto get rip of all the green bit)

Preview
If good save

End result

Ode to the can in the fridge


o can of carling
How you temp me so
You make every one look like a darling
Must you tempt me so
You stand there in the fridge shelf
How you tempt me so
Your tallness makes all the other cans look like elfs
Must you tempt me so
I want to feel you taste
How you tempt me so
I think if I dont drink you all it will be a waste
Must you tempt me so
If I drink you you will take me to a mistical land
How you tempt me so
This land is where grass and lawnmoer go hand in hand
Must you temp me so
Your power is do make me do things like this
How you tempt me so
But some times you make me need a piss
Must you tempt me so
Dare I open you and sniff that smell
How you tempt me so
I think if I drink to meny I wont feel to well
Must you tempt me so
That dizzy feelin I get from drinkin you in one
How you tempt me so
It makes me want to play Son -son
Must you tempt me so
Drinkin you makes me do strange things
How you tempt me so
Things like changein the way my phone rings
Must you tempt me so
When your gone there will be nothing
You do tempt me so
Then that shelff will need a buffing
Must you tempt me so
YOUR MAKEIN ME THURSTY

DRINKIN TIME
