**__How to Make a Simple Animation Using Photo Booth__**

 * To get started, after opening up Photo Booth, click on the icon that looks like a divided windowpane on the left side of the Photo Booth screen.[[image:window.jpg align="center"]]
 * This is called the **burst mode**. It allows you to take four quick photos in a row. Now, here is another little tip. If you hold down the option key before clicking on the camera button, Photo Booth will snap the picture without using the 3 - 2- 1 countdown. If you still would like a little notice before Photo Booth snaps the picture, don't hold down the option key!


 * Next, take a photo of a funny face using the Burst mode. It will quickly take four snapshots of you, so move your head very slightly.
 * You will now see the four shots in the bottom tray of your Photo Booth screen.

 * Click on that snapshot and select File➝Export to export your four images as a single animated GIF. Save it to your desktop. Make sure to name it so you remember what it is.
 * To view your animation, open up Safari, click File - Open File and browse to your named GIF. Have fun!
