yo seriously, I will contribute to the kickstarter, fuck

karl malone remind me are these on a tumblr or something so I can link to them without linking to ilx?

nm found it

weinventyou.tumblr.com

yeah, beat me to it!

and thanks. i know a place or two that might at least be willing to consider it, but i'll probably just make a website or something

Do you have high enough res images that they could look good on reasonable sized screens?

depends on the image, but most of them are usually 1000x1000 or larger in original versions

not that last one, though, because a really small source image is all i had

i keep telling myself to get a greenscreen and a few lights so that i can use my own reference images, like shooting dangling objects from all sorts of angles

Karl, I had a dream* that you did an animated Rider-Waite Tarot of 78 gifs and made a ton of ad money on an oracular website.

*about 20 minutes ago while I was watching a baseball game

i didn't know anything about those but it was fun to read about them!

no idea why though

That kinda reminds me of some of Mike Worrall's stuff:

i should mention that this is just a "remix" (ugh) of http://imgur.com/THSOvRA

Reminds me of that Leonard DiCaprio movie, oh what was it...

Titanic!

but then dicaprio faintly inceptions himself back into titanic and things are different than how he remembered

uh, leo and kate are possibly acting inappropriately, sorry

Wow I really like these. Reminds me of Nat Geo photo collages.

i feel like i should be able to do something more interesting with 174 tediously isolated tiger layers, but whatever

NICE. That gif contains multitudes.

starting to mess around with projecting images onto real objects. this is just a real messy one but it was the first one where i kind of completed a lo-fi proof of concept. there are really crisp and precise ways to do it that involve 3d modeling but i think i'm fine with just approximating the effect and making minor adjustments at the end to match the image onto the object.

O the fun you could have.

is that yours?! either way it's cool. and yeah, i know he's a household name but i didn't know anything about Tony Oursler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HjR1X0a4e4

which made me want to look into that kind of stuff, possibly combine some sensor action too

No, no, no that's not mine. Hell, I was going to post one of those Haunted Mansion singing busts, but couldn't find a gif sweet enough.

that oursler stuff looks awesome!

Aces

those gifs just above didn't come out the way i thought it would, but it might be a neat process to apply to something else. in photoshop you can "tween" 2 animation frames so that it creates a new frame (or frames) that's a hybrid of the two surrounding it, in terms of positioning of elements and opacity. the one on the top left is the original, and then i started creating tweened frames and deleting the originals. as you go lower, you're seeing tweens of tweens, and then tweens of the tweened tweens, then tweens of the tweened tweened tweens, etc. i know that doesn't make any sense but it's fun to type, and i do think it would potentially create a cool effect if applied to a more interesting image.

in other news i'm trying to get better at cinema 4D. a friend directed me toward it because apparently you can use it to make rough computer models of real life spaces so that you can project videos/gifs/images onto IRL oblong objects without it spilling onto other surfaces. i made a rookie attempt at doing something like that recently with ted cruz faces on amazon boxes (see here but doing it via cinema 4D would let me be way more precise and allow for more flexibility too. ANYWAY (this my bl0g) when i started messing around with cinema 4D i realized it's a really easy-to-use application with tons of animation capabilities as well. i have a feeling that it's what people like DVDP use to make their gifs.

despite all of that i've really been in a depressing rut recently. all i can think about are cyborg politico faces
