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

en i see kay i'll get to wacha soon! i had a deadline on the 15 folds things and i wanted to make sure i had enough time to do it justice, but wacha is next!

eh, i may take out the square thing at the end. it was supposed to represent the increasing of distance from the bird in each cycle - the bird spawns a mutant which grows to twice its size then eats it, and then the camera draws back as it nears the looping frame so that the viewer thinks (or is supposed to think) that the birds are getting bigger and bigger as the loops continue. but taking a breather from it after spending all day working on it, i'm not sure that makes any sense

That is pretty cool!

that's gorgeous dude

Did you see this?
3D GIFs Created with a Simple Visual Effect(mymodernmet.com)
I really like the one with the cartoon dog hopping across the text.

Those are rad.

Love to hear your thoughts on this. Seems like missing the point...

oh, i don't know. depends on which perspective you're using. i don't know much about it (or any good guesses on the future of tech in general) but if GFYs really are much smaller than GIFs and can handle more colors and higher resolutions, it could be a better file format for the purposes of most people. Almost everyone just uses a GIF to extract a clip from a longer video, anyway, so if there's a new way to do it that looks better, people would use it. GFY's success might just come down to compatibility with existing browsers and devices and apps. GIFs are supported on nearly everything (except fucking facebook and twitter, sigh) which is a large part of their success.

there's a comparatively tiny community of people who are interested in making GIFs from scratch, or by taking a short clip of video and manipulating it significantly, and within that, an even smaller portion of people who don't mind or even embrace the GIFs limitations (256 colors max, having to keep the frame count down for the viewer's practical purposes). having those limitations can be creatively beneficial sometimes because it forces you to be as economical as possible. but for the most part, i'm sure the more creative GIFmakers wouldn't mind switching to a more efficient format that can handle whatever they do. i know there's quite a few times where i had to drastically reduce the quality of a GIF (either by cutting out lots of frames or dropping the color quality significantly) in order to get it under a certain file size, and in those situations i would have been really happy if photoshop had a Save As GFY option that would have served my purposes!

Right on. Maybe they need a GFY option that further constricts you to the gif color pallette limitations, for old time's sake...

This is rad: http://laughingsquid.com/time-in-motion-animated-photo-collages-that-show-many-different-times-of-day-all-at-once/

dang, that is rad. wish i would have thought of it!

oh shiiiiiiiii

originally i was going to try to make it walk but after ruining the morning and afternoon of my day off on it's just going to fucking stand there *throws shoe at the screen*

rad dude

Another cool one: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/03/the-hypnotic-animated-gifs-of-david-szakaly/

a friend sent me that link the other day, and i had that depressing 2014 internet reaction "already saw it", by which i just mean that i see his gifs pop up on tumblr pretty often.

his stuff reminds me of dvdp's gifs (which are also great if somehow you've never ran across them)

i'm trying to make a bunch of gifs for Introspections.me so things are relatively cosmic lately

^from a video on contact improvisation dancing. i felt like a total dick because i came at contact improv from a really wacked out new age site and so i thought it was really funny, but then i showed it to my gf and she thought it was really neat and not funny at all^

i like the water lilies PULSE

yummmm. do u have a youtube channel?

fractals are a must

i have a youtube channel but all that's on there are my terrible mad men and jeopardy video edits from a couple years ago

fractals are cool but i need to download ezfractalgeneratorlite.dmg or something first

those mad men videos are all-time and you need to one day do an entire episode

--a fan

^i second this sentiment^

thanks! i've been wanting to get into video stuff more, but do a better job of it than before.

i also made this in a record breaking 3 minutes just now: ILX FLAPPY BIRD

lol

i'm deep into Introspections.me right now (planning on launching it in a 2 weeks, hopefully), but I was thinking about this earlier today: what about Kanyerants.com. It's nothing but Kanye ranting endlessly, with occasional fast forwarding sounds

http://i.imgur.com/TSgEtC4.gif

the 15 second delay is so underutilized in GIFs

there could also be the more depressing general celebrity version, where it's nothing but clips of celebrities saying things that they think are really interesting because they're celebrities but they're really banal in reality

i also made this in a record breaking 3 minutes just now: ILX FLAPPY BIRD

Three minutes that will last a lifetime, you g.d. genius.

WHOOOOAAA_version

is there a good guide/tool out there for beginner .gif making? i need to learn the art.

This one is a must

Went with the most obvious thing that stood out to me, but I'm no Karl Malone.

nice!

i probably would have done the boring thing and went with the skritchskratchin' on the vinyl

I really feel like it kind of calls for the skritch-skratchin treatment even if that's "obvious"

I was attempting to be humorous, ftr.

this comes closer to the thread title than i've been in a while but

it does the job

this is my first attempt at animated gif'ing:
