I still can't believe "GIF" is a verb. Never in my life has anyone said "Oh GIF that image for me!"

also, if anyone lives in brooklyn and happens to walk by 30 Lafayette Ave anytime between april 1 and june 30, BAM is going to be displaying 49 gifs, including one of mine, on a big 10'x12' screen, above the intersection. i guess the chances that my gif would actually be looping as someone walked by are pretty low, but still, pretty neat!

recently i've had many thoughts about quitting the gif game because it's kind of a ridiculous hobby, time consuming, and it's not really going anywhere. but then every once in a while something nice like this happens and i'm pulled back in

I love the eyes, particularly the first one. And don't give up! Don't worry about it being "a ridiculous hobby" if you're having fun with it, and you're bloody brilliant at it.

i think it's a great hobby and that your eye and tech skills are excellent and it's the kind of thing that's likely to culminate in you doing this professionally "i knew him when"

It's pretty amazing that they are still in use, and pretty much work no matter what OS or browser you use. Animated gifs even show up on smart phones, don't they? I feel like they'll be around until HTML itself starts going away.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:23 (eleven years ago) link
How do you do that rotating? Cos the only way I've found has been make a layer, duplicate it, rotate it 15 degrees, duplicate that, rotate it, etc. Is that really the only way in PS?
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:25 (eleven years ago) link
i hope so!
although, i kind of hope that as bandwidth and processing power continues to improve, maybe a new enhanced format (ggiiff?) could be developed that allows for a few more colors. an inherent limitation of the .gif is that you can only use 256 colors. even if you make an animation that has a million colors in it in photoshop (which is easy to do, actually, if you're blending multiple images with a huge diversity of tones/hues over 20-30 frames), when you save it as a gif it reduces it down to 256 colors. and don't get me wrong, i love that limitation. it's what makes gifs gifs. but anyway, it might be cool if a new format was adopted on a wide scale that allowed for, say, 1024 colors.
― ( ( ( ( ( ( ( (Z S), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:28 (eleven years ago) link
pretty much. it takes a long, long time. in after effects you can do it much more quickly and efficiently. i'm stuck in my old photoshop ways, though.
― ( ( ( ( ( ( ( (Z S), Sunday, 17 March 2013 16:29 (eleven years ago) link
one thing about rotations, though. and sorry if a) you already know this or b) this makes no sense, but:
depending on what you're working with, you don't need need to create a separate layer to rotate all the way around the circle. for example, take this one:
http://24.media.tumblr.com/763a2917eb8e64a6dbc3c49d2df1b7c2/tumblr_mjqbubeMeV1qdmmiqo1_500.gif
it's only 8 frames iirc. each tip of the star is only really moving 15 degrees or so through the course of the 8 frames. i.e., if you put a black mark on one of the tips, you'd see how it works. actually, i should just do that. hold on.
