The Power of the Animated GIF

part of Lunchtime Talks

Talk

Please note: This event took place in Nov 2019

For this Friday lunchtime talk we are delighted to be joined by Bristol-based filmmaker and animator Reuben Armstrong who will be taking us through his love of the animated GIF, with lots of weird and wonderful insights into why we find their perfect loops so captivating.

Roll up, roll up, as we are taken on a journey from Victorian trick films to mobile messenger apps - flashing through the frames of Internet history and sharing some the shortest animations in the world.
