Immediately hit 'inspect element' on bb-animated-header
- dpcan 10y agoThat's one gnarly gif. Did the same thing.
- bigiain 10y agoSlightly disappointingly it's just a big 1.4MB file with 32 frames in it... I wonder if if could be done two orders of magnitude smaller with old-school 8-bit demoscene colour palette cycling? That's clearly the aesthetic they're referencing... I bet some early '90's graphics hacker could have made that in 4096 bytes ;-) (probably not - certainly not at the full 700+ x 500+ resolution...)
- wingerlang 10y agoThe color cycling images I've seen have all been static. How would it work when there's this much animation involved?
- BillinghamJ 10y agoIt wouldn't
- icebraining 10y agoIt actually would! Someone posted this on HN recently: http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/?sound=0 http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/?sound=0
- wingerlang 10y agoThey are all static. Maybe it would work if you can color cycle a gif, and keep the animated parts solid colors and cycle the background.
- BillinghamJ 10y agoI have seen that before, but I don't think the level of complexity in the BlackBox gif would be achievable with that technique (assuming the technical constraints did also apply)
- nielsbot 10y agoWonder if it's this guy's work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Robertson_(animator) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Robertson_(animator)

- mintplant 10y agoUntil I scrolled down I thought that was the whole submission -- some sort of crazy CSS/JS/canvas-driven web animation demo.
- netghost 10y agoI would have been happy with just that, but the explanations of how many boxes they had shipped where just as good: "If you stacked them all on top of each other they would be taller than the tallest man!"
