Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!

i really need to go back to that star and do something better with it. it looks really simple - 3 layers of stars, getting bigger and smaller, rotating - but each of those stars is actually 8 separate triangles, each of which has 8 copy layers that extend in or contract in. originally i was going to make the tips of the stars ripple around, but then i kept drinking and i got lazy and just made the entire star get bigger/smaller in unison. but all the components are still there! "goals"

I guess you could much about with html & css and layer transparent gifs. Dunno how well the browsers would blend them.

Out of curiosity, I gave it a shot... wooh, made my first gif animations ever, too! My god, I'm REALLY good at this! Or at least terrible. (I just wanted colors and movement, obv)
Blended gifs (first two pics are separate animations, third is the two on top of one another, with 50% opacity on the topmost)
But uhh, obviously this isn't pure giffiness, since it's two separate images + css is needed to get the thing to work.

that's really interesting! i wish i knew more about css/html

so the first two are gifs, and then the third is just using html/css (i'm terribly unknowledgeable about this, i'm probably saying something ridiculous) to lay them on top of each other?

That's right. I imagine one could do something more interesting with it with, I dunno, transparent gifs (or possibly white backgrounds), to get around that washed out look.

i think it would be neat to layer the gifs so that they weren't exactly aligned. like, if the rectangles below were actually gifs:

i've seen that kind of thing done elsewhere before and it can be amazing.

http://www.geoffreylillemon.com/ is basically my favorite thing ever - i wonder if he's using similar css tricks?

What the hell, I tried transparency & offset & change width. Updated the page here

very illuminating Zs

i adore geoffrey lillemon's site

long story short:
When you do a google image search, click on “Search tools” below the search box, then select "animated” under the “Any type” dropdown box. There's also a “Transparent” option under the “Any color” dropdown box for clean c+p jobs.

hey, cool!

i like how half of the comments in that thread are like "FUCK THAT, BRING BACK GOOGLE READER YOU JERKS"

yeah, people be pissed about losing google reader

everyone should be. its the one part of google other than email that i use all the time

I never got it. Can't you use Flipbook or something like that instead?

I don't get vine either. I'm well aware there's a whole world out there I don't get.

This search by animation thing is pretty incredible.

That's an animated gif search for Google Reader.

Flipboard. I meant flipboard.

when they start making printable gifs you are so gonna make a billion

put them on an led t-shirt

if you guys invent an LED shirt that is under $75 i will gladly supply you with a bunch of gifs and take 10% of the profits

hey zs, could you take us into the mind of this cat?

i'm thinking of something like, zooming in on it's face, "into it's head", maybe a 2001 space oddissey light show transition to... idk, pure light?

Lol, that's a pretty great picture! I'll see if I can do it this weekend.

woah i haven't been to this thread in months. ZS your skills are multiplying.

Postcard is fab! And is that Maru?

thanks! yeah, i was pretty bummed because i had to reduce the quality of the top one so much to get it to fit onto tumblr (had to delete 2/3 of the frames - the hand used to wave the picture-in-picture all over the cityscape instead of just over the top part - and make everything look really lossy)

it is infinite Maru

Here's how we had to animate gifs back when I was a kid in the 40s.

shower curtains imo

That last one makes me dizzy/nauseous.

"Making people barf for over 20 years!"

Well if you're going to make people barf, having them stand in a shower is probably for the best.

Sorry Z S, what is your website again?

No need to apologize! weinventyou.net

Not sure if this has been linked yet, but there are a few funny ones here. Similar sense of humor.

the thomas the imploding tank is you? is that getting popular?

nah, no one on tumblr liked that one! unless someone else took it and posted it as their own, which sometimes happens
