I Spy…3D Gifs Made from old photos
Filed in: All Add comments
Joshua Heineman has some great animated GIF’s that are taken from old photos that were taken with cameras that had two lenses. The original effect was to be used with a special viewer that allowed the person viewing the images to see them with a special viewer which had one for each eye. This gave the photos a 3D feel to them and were very effective. Josh’s solution is simple but effective. The two images are placed into a two frame GIF and played over and over repeatedly. They look a bit jerky at first the effect is clearly visible.

I’m old (65). We used to have an old wooden one at home with tons of these double pictures. Loved to look at them.

@Helen: If your surfing the net, reading blogs and making comments at 65 your not old at all. I know people the age of 35 who can’t even turn a computer on, don’t care about the internet at all and they also act and think much older than you do.
@Jebediah: That’s hilarious your comment made my day. I am still laughing.
