zach's old animations and new visual art, updated every 25 to 60 days

^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

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

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

This one is a must

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

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

someone on the cats thread pointed out that he has a boner and now that's all i can see.

oh, that was me. hahaha

Seeing as this is sort of also the "cool gifs" thread now, have we talked about these MRI gifs of fruit & veg? Looks like it's been going for a while, so possibly. http://insideinsides.blogspot.co.uk/

What kind of map is that anyway?

cool!! i like the second to the last one a lot, just the black lines

it's a 1:250,000 scale map from the dept. of the interior, 1992! here's a giganto version: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/topo/250k/txu-pclmaps-united_states-index.jpg

it divides the US up into a series of topographical areas. in the big version i linked to you can see dates for each segment - that's the last year that the topographical map was updated for that segment. the idea was that you could contact them to order large versions of any of the segments.

Starting a new wrapping paper company, who's in with me?

totally. the original file is huge so i was able to print out a nice 2'x3' version and hang it up. endless fascination!

plus i've always thought it would be neat to order the tiny "(Chatham)" sliver of a map, hanging off the east edge of Massachusetts

zs can you animate a pair of scissors + bare legs here:

so it resembles this:

i made a GIF for the prism pipe show at pehrspace in L.A. last night. some ambient musicians played while several "hypnoGIFs" were projected onto a big screen behind them. usually i have to cut down on frames, dimensions, and image quality to meet the requirements of my overlords at tumblr, so this was a cool opportunity to make a giganto animation and save it as a .mp4 so that it could keep all of the nice colors (GIFs are limited to 256 colors, of course). here's a short clip of what it looked like, with one of the members of the band (L'éternèbre) playing in front:

here is the crappy Tumblr version, with the frames reversed for no particular reason:

ha, i love what you did w/ the sailboat

oh, the full length version's a lot better (about 450 frames across 20 seconds rather than 16 frames across about 2 seconds). when i finish the other 2 for the melbourne thing i'll probably post them on youtube or something!

speaking of, btw if anyone sees this and is going to be in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, directly opposite Stop 37 of the 112 Tram between sunset and sunrise, a few longer-form animation things of mine are going to be screened during a couple weeks in late July as part of the Roundabout Projections public art project. er...assuming i finish two new ones in the next day or so
*gulp*

these are pretty great:

oh that's been posted.
btw, loading this whole thread is a deeply psychedelic experience. try it!
