I Spy…3D Gifs Made from old photos
Posted in All by Christian Gehrke at 1:37 pm | 9 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.

So good I’m gonna throw away my Viewmaster. It takes a brilliant mind to think of something so simple.

@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.
