Avatars: Director's Cut

[ExClub]

A thread for all of us gif geeks, to express our true, avatar visions.

Director's commentary: My stab at a "cinematic" avatar. I learned, however, that gif files were not meant to be quicktime files; this ate up far too much memory.

Nice!

Holy Schmole. That's awesome! How the hell do you do that???

That was pretty cool. It felt like I was watching the movie.

Ummm, is something supposed to be happening? I can only see the skull.

Patience is a virtue.

Director's Commentary: Okay, here's Briguy's Florida Vacation avatar in its entirety. It's definitely painful when you do all this detail and find that you have to trim it off to make the file smaller.

By the way, I realize that mine pales in comparison to EC's pro stuff.

Here is the original version of my Homer avatar I just did.

Good stuff, guys! I think this forum will be a good way to indulge our perfectionistic tendencies.

And btw...copying images from a quicktime trailer does not a pro one make.

Also...I'm with Briguy; I had similar nightmares before my trip to WDW's Tower. You captured it perfectly, SM. (I like the story telling in this version's slower, drawn out pace.)

It's a sickness, really.

This was one I made for DisneyPrincess81 after she finished school and asked me to make her books blow up. I'm not any good at drawing explosions, so I whipped this up.

The avatar became way too big due to the panning effect.
