still not sure how to use it yet but I saw dump.fm linked on facebook and it seems like maybe a good way to promote your stuff Z S? dunno at other times it just seems like 4chanimatedgifs.fm

i'll check it out, thanks!

on first glance there is a ton of cool shit posted there, so it seems worthwhile. also there is an online "deal with it" maker, which is pretty cool

hmmm

pretty entertaining, but the casual lol racism thing is always a shame

Larry found the perfect vacation, and Balki, Jennifer and Mary Anne decide to give him one more chance with planning vacations. They go to a tropical resort - Club Paradise with broken walls in the hotel room - and it is disrupted with a hurricane and Larry can't admit that he's made another mistake.

dude

king crimson one is great

oops, i guess the 20 seconds of silence at the end is left for the viewer to think about what they've really accomplished in life

wow. just wow.

omg the king crimson gif.

I wanted to upload this instead of the picture last night, but the youtube took like 2 hours to upload for some reason. This is a hot jam I've been cooking up for a while

Nice jams. Needs some M. McDonald vox, but the keyflutes are a reasonable substitute.

xpost you can blame Ned for that. I tried to get mikey D in the studio but Ned was like "no, no...let the keyflute solo soar, leave it pure", and we were on such a fucking role that night that I wasn't going to push the issue

A+ x 3

good work as usual

train gif is very good, what's the source?

a google image search, originally, but it seems to come from this movie:

http://teaser-trailer.com/movie/midnight-meat-train

and thanks!

bee/flowers is very early 90's dance/rave.

have you thought about making a 100-gif magnum opus where each gif is its own individual animation, but when placed in a specific order on a 10 x 10 grid so that they form a mega-gif?

I have! Not 100 (10x10) gifs, exactly, but I've wanted to do a really big one with dozens of different pieces that fit together. The problem has just been hosting. Tumblr can't handle animated images wider than 500 pixels, let alone a megasaur gif combo. And my old barrylutz space wouldn't accommodate it well, either. And of course on ILX it wouldn't work (I think on some stylesheets it might look ok but I'm not sure, and in any case most people wouldn't be using the correct stylesheet and it would look different on everyone's monitors, etc)

hm.. how's about the next 9 requests you get, try to configure it so that you can put them into a 3x3 brady-bunch style one?
you could do it as a table like:

<table>
<tr><td>1.gif</td><td>2.gif</td><td>3.gif</td></tr>
<tr><td>4.gif</td><td>5.gif</td><td>6.gif</td></tr>
<tr><td>7.gif</td><td>8.gif</td><td>9.gif</td></tr>
</table>

the proportions would be easy to do...the same number of frames would be a little difficult, maybe, but not impossible. But I think that even if animated gifs have the same number of frames (and timing of frames...you can set each frame to last as long as you want), that they'd still be out of sync with each other. I tried once to have a set of gifs that were coordinated with each other (I think I had something falling down through one frame and into the top of another), and found that the gifs start looping once they're done loading, instead of starting at the same exact moment, if that makes any sense.

Anyway, all of timing stuff is just a detail, but the main problem is where to put it. I could put it here on ILX, but I think the total width of all the images (say, three wide like you suggest) has to be less than a certain amount of pixels, or else it'll drop down the image to the next row? Like, for example, take this picture (350x420):

http://i52.tinypic.com/adjb5j.jpg

Here's 6 in a row, but I'm guessing it'll drop down into a new row on the 3rd or 4th image:

http://i52.tinypic.com/adjb5j.jpghttp://i52.tinypic.com/adjb5j.jpghttp://i52.tinypic.com/adjb5j.jpghttp://i52.tinypic.com/adjb5j.jpghttp://i52.tinypic.com/adjb5j.jpghttp://i52.tinypic.com/adjb5j.jpg

I see two rows of three, but I think (I'm not sure?) that on a different computer with a bigger screen, you might see 4 on the top row and 2 on the bottom, and on a computer with a smaller screen, you might see three rows of two.

is it possible to just make one big gif that is cut up into sections where each one is doing its own independent thing

sure, I think. actually, I'll try it miniature form in a second, to test it out.

first the uncut version

whoops, I forgot that 30 minutes earlier I wrote that the images start looping when they're individually done loading, instead of waiting for all of the images to load and start simultaneously. my memory is approximately 4.5 seconds long

It's working now!

I'm thinking about doing a bunch of these tbh. Yesterday I picked up The City by Frans Masereel, which is a series of 100 woodcuts illustrating city life in Weimar Germany from 1925 (also available for free here: http://www.nebulous-cargo.com/masereel/woodcuts/city1.html).

totally fucking wonderful

Yeah, that one is amazing. Definitely do more!

the gif tesselation upthread actually works well despite being (or because?) out-of-sync

yeah, I probably will! I have a few other commitments to take care of first (ILX Compilation 4 cover and a mini-comic that'll hopefully be printed and published by Justine+Jordan's Chance Press in a month or two. but then I'm thinking it would be neat to do ALL 100 of them and just put them on a new website.

whoops, xpost
