leoparder Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) A gif is an image format. It is particularly well suited for the web as it was developed to be very light and it is now compatible with all the main softwares/systems. "Gif" explanation on wikipedia. A .gif can also be animated, which means that you can display small animations (generally loops) taking only 1 Mo in any webpage/email/chat/file :) It is generally a lot of fun, gifs became part of the internet culture. What about Lego culture ? I propose you to post all the gifs you created or found on the web (in this case give the source) around the Lego world. I would like to start with two examples I did last week while shooting timelapse videos of constructions. The first one is a "cinemagraph" as we call it. It means that it looks like a picture but with just a few key things moving. You can see another example I did (not lego related). Lego 4x4 8081. And here a .gif enabling a sort of 3D effect :) Lego Pickup Tow Truck 9395. However be careful, gifs get pretty heavy pretty fast (mines are 1-1.5 Mo) Edited April 27, 2013 by leoparder Quote
