Blade Runner (1982)

Notes: Still bummed by GIF, knowing how limiting it is (resolution, length, frame rate, color depth, mostly due to file size) compared to modern codecs (like AV1/AVIF, royalty-free, fantastic hardware and browser support, but requires more processing power). I'm not a web dev so I don't really understand why we can't have nice things yet, but I hope the day is coming soon. Update: I just found out about gifski and updated these! Gonna replace others too, at least those with horrendous frame rates. Bonus: I guess I can pick one fave and add the higher quality video (AVC HD at 24 fps)? Don't mind if I do!

Alien (1979)

First post! I don't know what I'm doing here! I've always enjoyed making movie samples from quality sources (favorite scenes, or just beautiful test files for AV stuff). I recently started making little looping animations (mostly from static shots and scenery, intended use as banners/headers for places like Mastodon). I didn't know Tumblr had a community enjoying similar things! Maybe mine will fit here, but I think some are probably not optimal (length, size). Notes to self: Only one video allowed per post... bleh (multiple AVC shorts are fine on Mastodon, and auto-loop). Many photos allowed (only GIF for animated?, quality or length will suffer). No animated AVIF or WEBP support (for the love of dogs something needs to replace 40 year old GIF already). Edit: Adding one higher quality video to each post! Also oops I did not allow reblogs by mistake; I appreciate anyone enjoying these!

The Revenant (2015)

I'll definitely be coming back to the stunning cinematography of this incredible film (these are all within a seven minute span). It's honestly a bit overwhelming, there are just so many amazing shots. Motion is subtle with these, mostly in the river and sky.

Bonus: One fave as higher quality video!
