How did you do that with your avator (or what ever the h*ll it is called? I like it and want to do it with mine!

RodC · 05-28-2002, 09:55 PM

Looks like an animated GIF? Just Use different pics instead of slighlty differents ones to simulate motion.

Longhorn Man · 05-28-2002, 09:58 PM

I only know enopuh puter stuff to get me in trouble.
The only thing I know about HTML, is how to spell it.
I am puter illiterate.

Think you could brake it down a little simpler?
how do I save it to my H/D to where it does that? (revolving through multiple pics)

There are a lot of tools out there to create animated GIF files. You can add several files and create animations. Or you can add different pictures. Do a Google on "animated GIF". There are some freewares out there to do it.

OR.....

You could send someone several pics that likes to do this kinda stuff, I havent done it for a while, I do mostly digital photography enhancements, check out some of the pics on my web shots site.

I NEED to get some burn out pics and make an animated giff...that would be soooooo d@mn awsome!

RodC · 05-28-2002, 10:26 PM

Yep, if you get someone with a digital camera that will do short movies you should have enough images to make a small movie.

Longhorn Man · 05-29-2002, 12:04 AM

I have a digi-cam, and plenty of film for it.

It can't do movies though.

RodC · 05-29-2002, 08:40 AM

Well put it on the lowest res. and see if you can fire off 3 or 4 shots real fast. (you need small pics anyway) That may give you enough frames for a decent animated GIF. Some Digital cams dont recycle fast enough to do multi pics.

ckhd · 05-29-2002, 12:08 PM

Woah! I dozed off and almost missed this!

It's an animated GIF. I took the four different pictures and sized them all to 100Xwhatever pixels, then put them all together using a GIF animator that I downloaded from the internet (I used Ulead GIF animator 5 - it has a free trial period, but any gif animator should work).

If you want, e-mail me all the pics you want in it and I'll make one up for you.

ckhd · 05-29-2002, 12:12 PM

I've been thinking about a mini-movie for my avatar. I was going to shoot it this weeking with my digital camera. Do it stop-motion style...

Not sure what to make it of.

If I come up with something, you guys should see it sometime next week.

RodC · 05-29-2002, 12:32 PM

Musta been the CKHD vs ckhd that threw ya!

ckhd · 05-29-2002, 05:13 PM

No, I think it had something to do with my acute case of rectal-cranial inversion...

Longhorn Man · 05-29-2002, 10:24 PM

LOL!
Once I get some pics gathered up, I will see if you can help me. Thanks.

RodC · 05-29-2002, 10:27 PM
