This short documentary just may give you a new outlook on the format and maybe inspire you to make art with them.

Long live the GIF!!!

The animated GIF is dead. Long live the animated GIF!

GIFs are one of the oldest image formats used on the web. Throughout their history, they have served a huge variety of purposes, from functional to entertainment. Now, 25 years after the first GIF was created, they are experiencing an explosion of interest and innovation that is pushing them into the terrain of art with powerful new visual experiences.

Being in love with cinemagraphs – elegant, subtly animated creations that are something more than a photo but less than a video, I recommend you to do yourself a favor and watch the video! 😉
