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

these are some of the waters i'm using for this projection thing i'm working on (albeit in the crappy lossy/gif every-6th-frame-for-smaller-filesize version)

that glowing thing is in the center is just a whoopsy daisy courtesy the crappy 4s camera, in real life it's not there, but i kind of wish it was!

That is sweet.

for those in the NYC area, i'm showing the staircase thing as part of a group show on oct 1/2 - it'd be cool to see anybody there! a facebook invite thing went out, it looks like: https://www.facebook.com/events/608846799293982/612239082288087/?notif_t=like¬if_id=1474004880100910

the show went pretty well! thanks especially to the local ilxors who came and said hello, it was really good to see you!

i took a short video of the staircase thing from different angles: http://weinventyou.net/post/151315634778/staircase-loop-dreams

and here's a still from one of the distorted angles:

can't wait til the election is over because all i can think about are ways to make fun of donald trump

lmaoooo

i should send that to whoever runs allergictowheat.com

Omg dat gif!

i keep making slow progress in learning the ways of cinema4d. at one point i knew how to define a path for a camera to follow while focusing on a particular target, and then i completely forgot how to do everything and had to start from square one again. i think i got the hang of it again though, and i finally learned how to add looping videos that sync up with everything else:

sorry for the barrage of messages on this, for those that follow me on facebook/instagram/twitter. i've set up new dedicated accounts on each of those platforms for my gifs.

Twitter: @ZachScott_gif
Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/Zach-Scottgif-1132985923460005 (classic URL, facepalm)

for various reasons i've always had a very inconsistent approach with posting my images on those platforms - i feel shy about subjecting other people to my work, knowing that many of them are family/co-workers/acquaintances etc that don't know anything about my secret gif life, and that many of them just are not going to be into it at all. so it's always been a bit agonizing to post a new gif in those places, Facebook especially, knowing that's not what they "friended" me for. (i don't feel the same way about this thread, incidentally, because at least once you've clicked it a few times you know what you're getting to and it's easy to avoid afterward).

i'm hoping that people will be interested in checking out the instagram account, though, because i'll be posting much higher quality versions of my images there. where gifs have to be 256 colors or less, and usually 2MB or less in order to post on tumblr and other places, on instagram i'll be posting high resolution video versions of the same images, sometimes with many more frames included per loop. as an example, here's a new gif for today:

http://68.media.tumblr.com/a16807c9dde08dbf78aa4f458fb73b67/tumblr_ofwa5swNNj1qdmmiqo4_500.gif

if you have the time, compare that to the video version i posted here: https://www.instagram.com/zachscott.gif/

wtf, i posted those new account links a little too drunkenly there, sorry.

i don't understand what i'm doing wrong with the instagram link.

i missed the deadline on the gif it up contest this year. i think i entered something terrible for it last year. the archive they're trying to promote is organized in the least helpful way to someone trying to comb through it. or at least it was last year.

let's see if i can get my phasing ralphie thing to work here

if my calculations are right, all four of those will align every 7.2 billion years

hi ralphie

each of these are .01 seconds apart in total length per cycle (2.83 on the upper-left, 2.87 in the middle, 2.91 on the lower-right)

ideally they'd all start up at the same time, in sync, and then gradually phase with each other only to realign...a long time in the future. unfortunately browsers don't load a set of 9 gifs simultaneously, so they won't start out in sync in the first place. it's odd though, sometimes browsers will load up a set of 2 or 3, or even 4 or 5 gifs and start them at the same exact moment, while loading up the remaining gifs and starting them a bit later. also, sometimes if you load up all 9 of the images (so they're in your cache) and then hit refresh, then the refreshed page will start them all up at the same instant. pretty cool

(ralphie says hi back)

added some harp because why not

I apologize in advance for bringing down your thread, but you've brought up something and I don't know where else to discuss it:

http://i.imgur.com/8IE547p.jpg

So let me get this straight - every 16 minutes someone dies of suicide and every 17 minutes someone is left to make sense of it.

That means

every 32 minutes two people have died of suicide and every 34 minutes, there are two people left to make sense of it
every 48 minutes three people have died of suicide and every 51 minutes, there are three people left to make sense of it
every 64 minutes four people have died of suicide and every 68 minutes, there are four people left to make sense of it
every 80 minutes five people have died of suicide and every 85 minutes, there are five people left to make sense of it
every 96 minutes six people have died of suicide and every 102 minutes, there are six people left to make sense of it
every 112 minutes seven people have died of suicide and every 119 minutes, there seven two people left to make sense of it
every 128 minutes eight people have died of suicide and every 136 minutes, there are eight people left to make sense of it
every 144 minutes nine people have died of suicide and every 153 minutes, there are nine people left to make sense of it
every 160 minutes ten people have died of suicide and every 170 minutes, there are ten people left to make sense of it

So by the time the day concludes at 1,440 minutes, we've got 90 people who have died of suicide, but only 84 people who are left to make sense of it. That means six people die of suicide every day with no one left behind to give a fuck.

I dunno, seems like a weird factoid to promote. Bet I know why those half-dozen people got to that point in the first place!

Harp Ralph Phases needs to be a FULL CYCLE.

xp maybe people are getting slower at making sense of it, which has caused a bottleneck of sense-making

hey i'd be cool with this turning into the phasing thread!

You know, I can't think of any Steve Reich cat puns (at least related to his phase stuff).

believe me, i tried too

that reminds me, i did mean to make some sort of 9 lives pun, though. dammit!

six meownos
meowsic for 18 mewosicians
octet (eight lines of string)

I considered the meows, and the octet I thought about ocelot, but nothing very satisfying.

Music for Nine Lives
Purring
Pet Phase
Feline Counterpoint
Patting Music
Paw Organs

There's also that Ligeti piece with a zillion metronomes

i sort of did the calculation (drunkenly, in the spirit of the thread), and the 9 gifs phasing against each other will all align again in...

60,341,152,625.3 years

i was joking about 7.2 billion years, but i waaaaaay undershot it

for anyone wanting to doublecheck me (please do), i'm going with 9 separate images with lengths of:

2.81, 2.80, 2.79, 2.78, 2.77, 2.76, 2.75, 2.74, 2.73 seconds

i dumped that into http://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/math/lcm.php

(actually i multiplied all of those by 100 in order to get rid of the decimals so that online calculator would work, then divided by 100 when it was all over)

i love ralphie so much

I love ralphie too

thread took an interesting turn

this is the same cube river from up above, from a different angle
