While I’ve heard about Keanu Reeves multiple times before, I’ve recently learned many things about him that I consider heroic. He’s given away money to many organizations to help children and those in need since the early 2000s and has been shown to be kind to anyone he comes across.

Not really a "new" hero, but after recently learning about all the good that @mrkreeves has done, I think the title fits. Donating to children's hospitals, cancer research and being nice overall is so cool! @eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2688 pic.twitter.com/sZdWD9EnxJ

I figured since I learned so many cool things about this guy, I would make a cool looking gif for this Daily Create. My main inspiration for my process was the “like a boss” meme, which is an oldie but a goodie meme when it comes to conveying how cool a person or situation is. Given his repertoire of cool films that he’s in, I figured I would have no shortage clips where he looks cool. After sorting through a few, I came across the clip in the gif, which I thought was cool and kind of fitting with the downward moving glasses sticker I was planning on using.

I made the gif using Giphy by pasting the link to the clip on their gif maker and trimming the clip to the necessary length. I then added the moving glasses and the cool looking text at the bottom. This was my first time using Giphy, so I had to learn a bit on how to use it. However, I looked at all the options I had for my gif and quickly got the hang of it before making it. My biggest challenge in this project was finding a good clip to use and actually posting the gif on Twitter. Thankfully, my classmates were a big help in figuring that out.
