Nifty GIF

Filed under: Geek — don @ 11:03 pm

I saw this and really liked it. It’s a good example of what you can do with an animated GIF.

Here’s another really neat animated gif.

One more for good measure.

  1. I see three birds flying. Is that all it is? Not sure if I am missing something. Did you create it?

  2. That’s “all it is” but it’s not a video or anything special. It’s just an animated GIF which is similar to a video in that in has multiple frames that just repeat over and over. It doesn’t need to download anymore content like a video.

    I just thought it was pretty neat.

  3. You see a lot of those used as emoticons.

  4. So is it a single loop, or three interleaved loops? The top bird makes one loop, while the left hand bird makes three and the right hand one makes two. I’m assuming it’s a single sequence where the faster birds are just repeated, but that’s because I don’t think an animated GIF can have separate overlapping cycles.

  5. I haven’t looked at it in a graphics program so I’m not sure. I suspect it’s just one loop.

  9. I wish we had it that easy. I’m really not looking forward to that part of pregnancy.
