010 Gif Mayhem
One day a long time ago, a company called Compuserve invented a type of file compression and encoding called a GIF, pronounced Jiff. The major advantage of GIFs was that images could be animated, transparent and/or interlaced. An animated GIF is a image without sound that carries several frames and these frames play one after another when the image is viewed, creating the effect of animation. GIFs can now be made from video and what this resulted in was a digital art form unto itself called ani-gifs which is short for animated GIFs. AniGIF can be quite large file depending upon how many frames it has and how many colors it uses and so it is only in the few years that serious aniGIFs have become usuable as common features on website and such. One of the funniest phenomenas to emerge from aniGIF making and video capturing is the phenomena of digital artists taking an existing anigif and tweaking it so that it fits another context.
In this feature I would like to present a few aniGIFs and their various morphs that they have endured over the years. The final result of aniGIF tweaking is a hilarious, very entertaining art and peculiar medium which I hope you enjoy.
Here are the latest collection of GIFs for you to enjoy.
