Animated images are a challenge to make!!




Posted by Jesse Smith

I decided to test out converting a Nintendo movie file to gif, and it can be a challenge!!



was originally from [url=http://www.world-of-nintendo.com/pictures/movies/mario.mov]this movie[/url] which I cut out of a video from [url=http://tasvideos.org/]this site[/url] that shows videos of people playing games from start to end, FAST!!

Years ago I made this one, using a Hey You Pikacho movie file from IGN.



On that one I took the screenshots of each frame myself, making the quality much worse than if I had known how to use a gif program to convert the movie to gif, then taking out frames to shrink the file size and file size optimizing it, which is how I made the Mario one.

Golly, they sure arn't as hard to make when you use Adobe ImageReady and let it only take say one out of every two, four, six...frames, so you don't have to take them out yourself!

You can even turn movie shots in to gif images, like Star Wars!!




More Super Mario Bros.

Majorly Hacked (Think extremely hard ROM.) version of Super Mario Bros.



Super Mario Bros 3.

I hate making GIF's, I stay as far away from them as I can. Good job though o crazy brother of mine.

Some day I might make a web site that's gif images showing game endings and secrets, like the ones above of geting two of the whistles, and game ending.

Good idea, thought size might end up being a problem if they are optimized properly.

Eight frames a second is the best I can get it, using one out of every two or four frames, depending on how many frames per second the movie had, then having each frame show for .12 seconds and the last one for two seconds, then starting all over.

On the movie of me, I tried having even more frames get knocked out, since it's seven megs :eek:, and what you see at the very end to the right of my head showed up way more.

If I made a site, each page would have just one image!!

yea, good luck with that project. You might wanna start out with people sending you actual videos of them playing the game or you'll be at it for quite some time.
