A record of animation projects that have appeared in my weblog or elsewhere: found and/or html-altered image files, "remixes," kids' art, and my own GIFs and videos. An archive of these posts is here. Enlargeable thumbnails of "raw materials" and additional work are here. Note: older Safari browsers may load multiple identical animated GIFs out of sync, which sucks.

Lucas Samaras' Hands, animated GIF, 2005
These need to be in synch to look their best (i.e., not viewed in Safari). Single .GIF from the mysterious http://castlezzt.net (caution: massive page load) via mbs.
Drawings of piezoelectrically stimulated barium titanate from Scientific American, June 1988, animated without permission.

Two Videos:
"Exit Maurice" (Quicktime video) [10.5 MB .mov]
"Dancin' (Please Register)" (Quicktime video) [9.5 MB .mov]
This really needs to be in sync to work. It may not be on the sucky Safari browser.
Notes on my video, Dancin' (Please Register).
1.The soundtrack is a short version of my tune "Streetsong 2": [1.74 MB .mp3]
2. The video is comprised of these animated .gifs swiped off the internet ("like stealing a candy bar from a drugstore"), plus a few more found at the link below. All are resized at 240 (tall) by 320 (wide) pixels. They run sequentially, with only one on the screen at a time. Each appears more than once (some many times), for a duration no less than four piano notes per appearance (and no more than 8). The order varies; the .gifs are mixed and matched and arranged with an eye to rhythm and the element of surprise. Speeds of individual .gifs also vary.

3. After 1.25 minutes of this foolishness, video fades to black at end. "Trial version: please register" overlay will probably remain throughout the piece (I haven't decided yet).
The video is priced at $500,000. Proceeds after deduction of expenses for a private party in Terminal 5 will be placed in trust to be clawed over by attorneys for individual .GIF-makers.
