"Alessandro Cima says:Such an odd form of expression - the animated gif. I can’t quite figure it out. Why would one do it? Why not just do the whole film and call it a film?"

I have to say I never would have thought of the animated gif as a platform for art, but its progression has been really interesting to watch.

btw meant to tell you grady that an old friend of mine called me up yesterday, was giving me some nice compliments about weinventyou, then out of nowhere goes "have you seen 3 frames!?"
i was like "not only have i seen 3 frames...i know the guy who runs 3 frames...on the INTERNET"

Z S, how'd you start out doing these? i haven't been on this thread for months and have to say you've improved nine-fold... they're incredible

Matter of time before I see a ZS gif show up somewhere local.
― Pleasant Plains, Sunday, 6 March 2011 19:08 (thirteen years ago) link
thanks kelpolaris!
it started it off as just a "fun" thing to do for an ilx thread..after a month or so i got the harebrained idea that i could start up a website and that it would really take off. the idea was that random internet people would submit animation "requests" (similar to this thread at the beginning) and that i'd animate them. people are always looking for cool facebook profile pics, if nothing else, and a custom gif is kind of a novelty still, if it's done well. i thought that people would maybe like their custom animations, and then tell their friends so they could get animated too. and so on, until some sort of critical mass was reached.
then i started barrylutz.com and got about 34 hits per month (most of them coming from my own visits)
i don't really know why i'm still doing it, or what i'm trying to accomplish. have to admit there are many times when i wonder if it was a good idea to invest 1000s of hours into this stuff. if i wasn't doing this i'd probably still be investing 1000s of hours into my crappy "music", so i guess it's a zero sum game, kinda

it does, but them's the risks you take. also, your work is awesome.

wait... did Z S just get ripped off of proper props?
― yeah (kelpolaris), Thursday, 10 March 2011 23:18 (thirteen years ago) link
it does indeed appear props were improperly directed... no doubt a clever trick devised by cahoon to flush out her prey...
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 10 March 2011 23:30 (thirteen years ago) link
and that sorta happened earlier this week, too!
I posted this dumb picture on my tumblr:
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhkfnj6PWD1qdmmiqo1_500.gif
and got 12 "notes". then someone else posted it on their own tumblr, without mentioning that i made it, and got 475 notes. i just happened to see it on someone else's page.

well, good news (if you like this thread) / bad news (if you don't like this thread and will be annoyed to see it pop up more frequently): i'm ditching my tumblr for the foreseeable future because it won't permit me to post about half of my shit, and when it does accept it, i have to reduce it to garbage quality for it to work. so i'm giving it up until they get their shit in gear.
so i'll probably be posting more frequently here (hooray!/sorry!), and the stuff here will be larger and less lossy since it won't have to go through the tumblr filter.
