The Gifys

Encontré un sitio dedicado recopilar, calificar y premiar los mejores GIFs animados que hay en internet. Cuando lo descubrí, sentí que estaba encontrando un paraiso del formato GIF89a. Comparto uno de mi categoría favorita <weird>, que solo puedo describir como un hombre de helado comiéndose a sí mismo, sacado de algún extraño comercial (ya saben, siempre me gusta llegar al origen: http://bit.ly/18qQgai).

Pero visítenlo, hay todas las categorías que se puedan imaginar. O al menos las más complacientes.

Solo paciencia con la carga…

The .GIFYS are the first and only award show honoring the animated GIF as a medium, social commentary and art form. This year’s GIFs were submitted for consideration by the public and nominated by our expert panelists. Now, we’re calling on the internet to vote on the most GIFtastic in each category. Winners will be immortalized on our website, finally giving GIFs their rightful glory…

Lightning

Voy a guardar por aquí este bonito GIF de un cielo tormentoso con relámpagos, aparentemente sacado de una película de Disney Nature (según el sitio de Giphy).

1840’s gif party

Va este Gif 89a de un cuadro de Whistler “Miss Cicely Alexander” (Harmony in Grey and Green, 1872) pero con un poco de ánimo bailarín. Re-tumblereado del blog de Tate collectives…

Perfect loops

Publicó Gizmodo esta colección de algunos GIFs 89a con los mejores Loops en sus animaciones. Pero lo realmente valioso son las aportaciones de los leectores en los comments, como este chulada con Michelle Jenneke.
Otra pureba de que: 1. El GIF 89a es un arte por sí mismo y 2. El mejor contenido en internet (y el que algun día hará a la gente darse cuenta del verdadero valor de este medio) es el crowdsourced…

19 perfectly looped GIFs that go on forever and ever

The animated GIF has grown to be one of the internet’s finest artforms. But what separates the Michelangelos of the GIF world from the finger-painters is the ability to create infinitely looped GIFs that seemingly go on forever and ever. Here some of our favorites. Be warned; brains will be broken…
