4 years ago today since I added Run DMC ft. Aerosmith to a video of the shadow of a millipede walking.

You know when you have a video loop, but to make it loop something disappears in an improbable manner?

And you think, that's a shame, because I really like this little clip.

And you could crop it so, for example, a bird doesn't disappear in mid-flight, but then it looks unbalanced so you need to find some unobtrusive way for the bird to disappear so it appears natural?

Yeah. That.

I think I need a quiet lie down.

A short video loop of the sea splashing up some rocks. In the foreground there is long grass. On the left the cliffs of the headland. A gull flies in from the right hand side most of the way across the image. At that point the cliff, which has cartoon eyes and a slither of a mouth drawn on, opens its mouth wide, flipping the clifftop up, and eating the bird. Because why else would it disappear at that point? It made no sense.

    @Gurre @Loukas 100% agreed, and adding the urgent need for the cultural framing at every level of migration as an actively positive and good thing as opposed to a "threat"

    A chat on here yesterday reminded me of the 1980's film The Apple which is... well... something.

    I made a few gifs from it a few years back & thought I'd lost them, but my digital hoarding habit is victorious.

    Going to do a wee thread of them, as they make me giggle so much they will surely entertain someone else as well.

    I don't usually just grab clips from other media, but it's quite an obscure film & I'd not seen any others circling about so...

    Close up of a mans face. He is bearded, with eye make-up and a symbol on his forehead. He wears a slightly shiny grey suit and bow tie, with white shirt. He looks coquettishly at the camera.

    This quiz really brought home to me how most of the world lives in medium-sized cities that I don't know the name of.

    @DemocracySpot absolutely. For me it's more wanting to craft the alt text in the same way and with the same care and attention that I craft an image, but I seem to not always have the word-bit of the brain fully switched on when I'm in picture-mode, if that makes sense. And putting words round an image that capture its feeling and intent is frankly hard! Props to those who nail it, and a good constant challenge for the rest of us :)

    @DemocracySpot I'm not always very good at it, but writing alt text is so fun!

    A lot of Mastodon is basically Peter Kay shouting "eyy, who remembers Panda Pops, what were that about?" but instead of Panda Pops it's like Trumpet Winsock
