Yeah I was expecting somebody to build a gif by hand from the spec using ed.

Developing film is such a beautiful kind of magic. Watching the image appear in a darkroom before your eyes is a very unique experience.

Indeed, I&#x27;ve never developed my own film but I do respect it entails a fair bit of effort, and the funky old camera is cool.But scanning, cropping using one of the latest image editors, then running it through imagemagick does not feel like the hardest way to make a gif.

&gt; Using imagemagick on the command line I was able to combine the images into a GIF.man what a cop out, I was hoping they would use a text editor to build the gif. that would be way harder.

it certainly gives &quot;you must first invent the universe&quot; vibes

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe

This reminds me in the best way of Lynch&#x27;s Lumiere competition entry: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Ds-OKH2ow4o" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Ds-OKH2ow4o</a>
