Animated Gifs by YRAM
|
Hello! My name is Mary (aka YRAM) and I am both the animator and the webmaster of 3d-animated-gifs.com. I have been creating animated gifs for almost 15 years now and have distributed freebies for most of this time period. Every once in a while, I get angry and remove my freebies because I find a
webmaster is distributing my animated gifs without my permission and capitalizing upon my hard work and expense!
Over the years, I have spent thousands of dollars purchasing 3d digital models in order to create my
animated gifs and have not recovered the cost of the models or been compensated for the time I spent working on them. Yet, I love creating animated gifs and continue my "labor of love" as my health permits.
1. Click Here for YRAM's battle with cancer. 2. Click Here for copyright terms and conditions. When creating animated gifs, I choose to break all the rules. Some of the file sizes are large because I want my animated gifs to appear as "realistic" as possible in terms of color, detail, and motion. I also believe that people should not have to strain their eyes to see an animated gif. Animated gifs are made in 256 or less colors. I know about "color reduction" in order to make animated gifs smaller in file size, but, I love brilliant color and only reduce the range of colors in an animated gif, if absolutely necessary. My preference is based upon the fact that varying shades of color (including lighting and shadow effects), accentuate the details in an image and make the image appear more realistic &/or visually appealing. The more detail there is in an animated gif, the greater the file size. The number of frames in an animated gif also increase the file size. I often use 15 or 30 frames for my animated gifs because I have found motion to appear more fluid or natural with these number of frames. The timing (i.e. frame delay) of each frame is also an important factor that affects the appearance of the motion. Most animated gifs on the World Wide Web are relatively small in screen size. I got tired of viewing these tiny animated gifs and discovered that many people find them difficult to view. My animated gifs are usually no smaller than 125 x 94 pixels and average about 175 x 131 pixels in size. These sizes are easier to view, but, increase the file size of the animated gif and thereby, increase the download time of the animated gif onto your web browser. I have also included a number of animated gifs which are less than 150 x 113 pixels and have smaller file sizes (less than 50kb) in the collection for those of you concerned with the loading time of your web pages. Loading time is an important factor for a busy web site. For this reason, I recommend that you never place more than 2 animated gifs on one page. Placing too many animated gifs in one area of a page can be very distracting for viewers. It is far more effective to use animated gifs sparingly and strategically. See Factors Affecting Web Page Loading for more info on this topic. I hope that you find my animated gifs both fun and useful! I charge a reasonable fee for custom-made graphics, animations, logos, banners or screen savers.
