Ive been asked to reverse engineer something along the line of the pics on this blog

I cant figure how theyve managed to keep the quality so high and the file size down. Or are they making use of the new roto tools in AE? Im stumped

770kb's not all that light for a fewly-framed gif?
Whatever, you'd mask out all the data from the source material that you didn't want to draw attention to, so the gif animation data only consists of those few whisps, cycling forever.
Nice work though.

Really very good all of this. Thanks for the hint, straighola.

Looks like these have been filmed rather than photos so the movement you are saying is real and not faked.
Then, like Detritus said, theyve just used the areas that are moving and the rest will be the same graphic. This will mean minimal changes per frame.Great link, some of those gifs are very spooky!

yeah, these were definitely made the way that detritus mentioned. the women's faces and other elements aren't moving... really well done.

thanks for sharing this even if that wasn't your intent... very cool :)

Down side of any of this is that you are limited to 256 colors and file size is too big. It also take more toll on your processor vs video.

@microkorg
it isn't relevant if they shot video or whatever, of course they shot vid
probably a jpg in the background+masked vid on top layer
the export is the issue
how come the result is a small file?

"The .gif format is practically as old as the internet itself and we find it interesting that as a format it's getting new life, particularly on Tumblr."
why particulary on tumblr

This shit is going to be fucking everywhere for the next year or so then.

Is this another consequence of the anti-Flash fad we're suffering from? (animated gifs and other late 90s tech)
