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

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!

This thread is the fucking best.

thanks!

next time we need to fundraise for ILX maintenance someone remind to stop being an asshole and pony up a good amount because i bet this is annoyingly bandwidth heavy :-/

someone remind me to pony up, i meant

and this thread, i meant.

i'm sorry, i'm really in no condition to try to make words and communicate

there's a contest that opens on saturday and i want to win one of the prizes (a nice tablet - my current tablet sucks). you can enter multiple submissions, but this is my attempt at the "tired" category

https://38.media.tumblr.com/2c4d8e2ba1950f354c2b1ff5c91cf98f/tumblr_nc4bayv1Le1qdmmiqo3_r1_500.gif

since the contest involves a text messaging app, i'm assuming that some of the digital "stickers" will be included in a new emoji-like images competitor for text messaging. i tried to keep things big so that if you reduce it down to a tiny 40x40 emoji size image it might still convey the sense of ZZZzzzz. but all the little noise details will be lost in a tiny version, so i doubt this will do well with the judges. later this weekend i'm going to try to make a new one for a different category and do a better job.

Ahh that should win. Very nice!

ZS, ignore the sentiment behind this. But what would you have done differently for a news publication?

http://assets.inarkansas.com/56089/arkansas-business-election-2014-wrap-up-animation.gif

zs i think the way your mind works is really fucking cool

thanks stevie d :)

pplains i'm the worst at professional design but i think it looks great and would look even better if it was faster, fewer pauses, getting rid of the dead space at the beginning. people scan through things so quickly that if it doesn't move within half a second of loading a lot of people will miss it

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

I think any gif is testing the boundaries of our little business pub. Even the slower one drives me a little crazy.

Here's one that got rejected, which I understand. I'm sure many in our demographic wear pacemakers.
