February 8th, 2010 at 5:13 pmHow do any of these constitute "amazing"?? They are videos that (I assume) have been simply converted to animated gifs (which is not at all amazing in itself), and then stringed into a long video and uploaded to youtube. The result being that I would never have known they were animated gifs if you hadn't said so. And finally you end up with a clip video made up of America's Dumbest Home Videos, and a few bites from Inside Edition or some other entertainment news show.
All of which makes for a very liberal and in my opinion inaccurate use of the word "amazing".

February 14th, 2010 at 8:12 amGood work!
I know how much time the editing takes. Your vid's made me smile and laugh so time well used!
Hopefully you will be able to let the music get a good grip of the tempo of the videos you select. Good music selections also btw.
Keep them coming!

February 24th, 2010 at 8:20 amBeautiful and cathartic. Some aren't just as good, though. This one should be collated to get featured in Geiggenham Museum. They're really artsy and very resemblant of the contemporary digital age or something.

March 17th, 2010 at 10:14 pmWho is the girl in pt. 4 (vid on top) at 3:35 - 3:42?
She's sassy, I like that! Do you have the original GIF, if it ever was one? Doesn't really look like a gif, so crisp and no dithering.

April 12th, 2010 at 1:36 amLOL U FAIL

May 20th, 2010 at 6:26 pm"Animated gifs are one of my favourite things on the Internet…Below you can find a small sampling of my collection. I’ve compiled them into three short movie clips and laid a tasty little track on top." I, for one, enjoy animated gifs, and I'm glad that TwistedSifter put what I consider a "best of" together and a cool soundtrack. As for the animated gifs themselves, where are yours? Do you make animated gifs? Do you have a website full of them such as 4gifs.com? Since you didn't provide a link I'm guessing not. So while not exactly "amazing", I suggest you post yours and let's critique your efforts. Up for it?
duh
June 6th, 2010 at 2:55 pmHow about posting the actual gifs themselves?

June 24th, 2010 at 4:21 pmFunny. Nice job stringing them together. There were some really creative ones. Kudos to the original creators. (Sorry, but I have to agree, the best ones are the ones that don't look smooth enough to be regular videos).
Joe
July 4th, 2010 at 10:05 pmWhy would you make a video compilation of animated GIFs? That’s like taking photos of a book then printing them out to read. Just read the book.
