I enjoyed reading people’s analyses of cinematography. A few people picked The Shining. The director, Stanley Kubrick, was a master photographer, so that movie bears repeated watching for the camerawork alone. The thing that jumped out at me the first … Continue reading →

I did two posters yesterday for the Daily Create.
It was such a struggle. We were supposed to be wax lyrical about rain and I could not find it in me to make anything positive about rain. jjgifs had made an image showing just how wonderful (not) UK summer can be.
I looked at many options and nothing appealed. Back to basics. The series of typography posters I am working on. Find appropriate words that did not praise rain as that is how I was feeling and templates I have used in the past. Add lovely Noun Project icons and John’s photos - Bob’s your uncle. Done.

Andrew Forgrave has given a wonderful introduction to the 1990s Reboot series, and how fun it is to create GIFs from the Number 7 episode (available on the Prisoner106 Archive page). Today I watched the episode, and once again realize that so much has been created in niches of popular culture that I have not […]

Ah, the Multi-Frame GIF Story assignment, Animated GIF Assignment 880. Gotta love it. If you’ve never encountered Reboot (the first full-length, completely computer-animated TV series) then you’ll need a bit of background to fully appreciate this post and the Reboot Season 3 episode, “Number 7″, which references The Prisoner. Reboot was ground-breaking back in the mid 90s as personal computers, […]

MAD MAD GENIUS! Seems to play on most devices. Well, 2 that I tried. I'd like to give it a spin. It can be a good impetus to do minimal sized stuff. Send me a copy, please! Or slap that thing in github. Its a bit funny because I tracked a few web sites that were offering a service for doing audio gifs and none of them I could see really caught on widely.
