Title: Animated GIF Site
Post by: Jabba on May 19, 2005, 01:06:51 pm

Hi All,

My son needs an animated GIF of a star for a project he is doing in Science. I'm looking for something really cool, maybe something arcade'ish, maybe something sci-fi'ish, not something cutesy if you know what I mean. Anyone know where I can look to down load any?

Thanks guys...

Thanks Saint, I found this one which should do the trick...

Now, I'll have to figure out how to get that black background out.

Hmmm, I think Drew posted something a while back on a GIF editor....

It doesn't look as good with a white background, IMO, but maybe it better suits your application?

Hay -sab....

Thanks for that. You're right, it looks much better in black. I guess I'll habve to make the website a black background. What program did you use? I found one on the internet called GifWorks http://www.gifworks.com/ that worked pretty well...

I used ImageReady that comes with Photoshop, but I hear GIFWorks is pretty good (and much cheaper!)
