oooo ME ME, i will help! ;)

there are a lot of animation programs... but i dont know if you are anything like me, an old-fashioned computer geek who likes to work from scratch... I used to work with this program called Microsoft Animationor something.... it is OLD so i doubt it is still in action today.

Last time I tried an animation program was SWISH but.. it is... very frustating for me because I dont have a lot of power to control my images but who knows, you could like this program. it got its own website, www.swish.com

for freeware animation programs, here it is:
http://download.com.com/3150-2186-0...ount=&daysback=&swlink=&os=&li=49&dlsize=&ca= lemme know if this doesn't work. they do have free trials and so on but you would have to filter it out at the bottom ;) good luck!
 
Use a webcam and take snapshots of you doing something bit by bit. Make sure you do not move the webcam in any way so that the background remains the same. When done, put all the pictures into an animated GIF program and you're done. You could also make a video then cut out the frames you want to make your own animated GIF too. I just made one. Check it out:

Thanks! :thumb:

No, I don't have any more at this time. I made those two at the last minute just to show her how it was done.

I don't use any special program, I just take time-lapsed pictures and combine them all into one.
 
SuperHuman, you have After Effects 6, cool. My friend had it but he never got valid serial, LOL. Can you tell me the different between After Effect 5.5 and 6. I am using After Effects 5.5 right now, and very curious about new verison. Have you try new verison of Adobe Premiere Pro?

VamPyroX, you made the animation gif out of digital camera or camorder?

Sorry if it is off topic, LOL.

Actually, it's not really off-topic. The question is related to the creation of animated images like what I made. To answer your question, I used a digital camera. Here's what my digital camera looks like:

For the Tide laundry detergent image, I simply set the camera in a fixed location and setting, then rotated the bottle 1/15 th of a circle for each snapshot. As for the weird orange ball-like blob, I took the first image then waited a minute before taking the second image. The 3rd was two minutes later and the forth was 3 minutes later, and so on. When I felt that it was long enough, I simply looped the image back and forth to give it a weird bouncy look. The program I used was my Windows Movie Maker program that's located under "Accessories". Once you start working on it, it's not that hard to make.

You said there are almost no different between AE 5.5 and 6, I thought AE 6 has new features. I guess I will have to ask my friend to stop searching for valid serial #, LOL. By way, have you use Discreet Combustion 2? This program is incredible, useful for special effects like you made some animated gifs.
