Don't tell me there's no such thing as coincidence: I've seen it happen!

I'm curious as to what those gif's look like. I am trying to do a matrix gif, but what do you want? A motionless 360 shot, or a moving shot in 360?

Man, these GIFs are really time consuming.
This one is 25 frames and ended up being 2 MB. Fortunately though, I was able to cut it down to 9 frames so it's only about 750 KB now.

That's really awesome that photobucket creates preview images to click on.

Oh if you use fraps, there's a screenshot capture mode that takes a picture every second. I just played Lugaru in slomo 0.05 and fraps took all the pictures for me.

What do you use to compress them though, they are 2.5mb each?
