A few more animated gifs (below the jump)… these ones made using a combination of – MPEG Streamclip and ImageJ applications, a couple great freeware tools via Grant that have both proven to be very useful. I still haven’t figured out how to use Gimp – maybe somebody else in the course will share some tips.
From The Happiest DJ in the World:
And a couple from one of my all-time favorite music videos, Steppin’ Off by DJ Donna Summer (AKA Jason Forrest):

Man,
Spinal Tap eat your heart our, and it’s like they are satirizing Led Zeppelin, Arena Rock, and David Lynch all in one fell swoop. Impressive. The Steppin’ Off is a first for me, but I love it.
What’s more, I have a very special animated GIF just for you, coming soon
I love that vid for so many reasons…
DJ Donna Summer did another cool video on that LP, with a very different style… but also with an aesthetic that melds the esoteric historic with the classic arena rock ethos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3fa-sjsvno
There is something weirdly magical happening in this post. There are many magical things happening actually. I can’t put my finger on it, but they left me smiling. I couldn’t bring myself to actually watch the videos, the silent gifs were enough.
This made me smile.
