By using the following elements:


 Remember the following things:
  • Create a new GIMP document using the "Toilet Paper" preset
  • Open each item as a new layer and resize them to your preferred scale.
  • Duplicate each picture 10 - 12 times
  • The first frame of your animation will appear at the BOTTOM of your layers dock.
  • The last frame will be at the top.
  • To combine two layers, right click on one layer and choose "merge down."
  • The only element that should be moving are the sunglasses
  • Use the blend tool to create the shifting background.
  • To animate it, go to "Filters - Animation - Optimize for gif" to preview it. To create the animation click "filters - animation - animate"
  • To export it, click "file-export" and choose "gif" in the file extension window at the bottom of the dialog box.
