Taking a break from writing:

So, I liked the "Boromir Is Completely Insane" gifs enough to noodle around with one of my own. Unfortunately, the movie I chose a [livejournal.com profile] m15m snippet from doesn't have bountiful screen caps floating around, but I did the best I could. It's not as long (or as laugh-out-loud funny) as the Boromirs, but there you are. I did manage to cram this onto the very last mb of storage on the Digest--looks like I'll have to do a housecleaning and take several of the old pages down. (I am thinking that the "FOTR EE DVD preview!" can go, you know?)

Please don't hotlink this--you can save it to your own server, if you want--or I will smite you. Actually, I'll probably just change the name every couple of days or so. So if you want to link to it, you'll probably want to link to this entry rather than the file. Assuming this is something you would want to do anyway. I'm just saying. (And seriously? If you decide to play around with gifs like this yourself, do what I did--put your name/info in the last frame. I would love to figure out exactly who made the LOTR gifs, and we all know how far things on the internet can travel.)

Caps are from piterdevries at [livejournal.com profile] cap_it; font is Caslon Antique.









P.S. Now that the northeast has started to dig itself out of that snowstorm, I'll repeat my plea from last week: Go. See. The Movie. If you liked the "Fifteen Minutes"--I am telling you, I am not making much of it up, as evidenced by the gif up there (the only reason I had to splice things together was because there just weren't caps of the actual, existing shots I wanted). If you like this, you will love the movie.

Thank you so much for the laugh. It was just what I needed.

LOL! Very funny! :p Hopefully you (or someone else) could do one with Minnie Driver in it. :p That would be brilliant.

The copy that the movie was screen-capped from was... well, it was really, really bad. These are probably the best caps of the lot, and some of them are way off proportionally. If someone got a clean, DVD-quality bootleg and capped it, I might be able to do others...

I wish the frames were just a bit longer, if only because I like to linger on Cleobrilliance.

But if this is the start of a trend, then you will pretty much own the Internet, you realize.

Hmm. Well, I was actually debating between 1.5 and 2.0 seconds. Let me play around with it.

There.

(It would be fun to own the internet, but I don't think I have enough webspace for that. : ( )

it's a pity there can't be an icon made out of this. Maybe there's a remake in store when better screencaps arise? :D

tee hee! it is accentuated by Emmy's cheerful "liek wow!" smile at all the things. XD

Oh, there will be. I actually made an excellent gif out of the FOTR preview/snippet I posted in the m15m comm--since I have a fearsome collection of hi-res stills--but I'm not sure posting it would be a good idea. You know, with the book not actually being in print yet and all...

Yay!

Heh, right, that would be a bad idea. A fearsome collection? Wow.

Yeah, a quick folder "Properties" check says that I have 285 mb of pics for FOTR alone, and something like 1.5 gig for LOTR all in all. I squirrel pics away for dozens of movies, though. It's going to end with me buying Weta Workshop-sized hard drives, I'm telling you.

HOLY GOD WOMAN!

*gets this sudden image of you running to and fro with FOTR pics saying in a little squirrel voice "All for cleo, aaaaaaalllll for cleo hee hee hee!"

But then we love you for all those pictures because they result in kickass icons and other diversions. :)

Well, it started when I was running the whole movie news site thing, and I'd save all the pictures of interest that I came across because sometimes I'd need to make thumbnails for the news page, and other times they would be sensitive images that you'd have to save or they'd disappear from the net in thirty minutes (see: anything leaked from a Star Wars prequel). It got to the point where I just liked having a library of stills on file in case I wanted to make icons or wallpaper for the site, and then for Livejournal.

Hahah so that's why I never seem to see where people get their screencaps from not yet released movies! 'm too slow to find them I gues :(

Well, it's wonderful that you have that fearsome collection library, always good to be fearsomely prepared for anything that comes your way. So never again will I wonder where you get all your screencaps, now I know. :D

Nothing special to say other than that is rilly rilly cool.

I was actually going to see it last weekend and the shuttle wasn't running from our school to the movie theater because of the snow, so I missed it. Me and Roommate were discussing a possible trip this weekend, so we'll see.

Seeeeeeee it. What I keep telling people is, if you like it, well, hey, you like it. If you *don't* like it, it's frickin' hilarious. In fact, it's kind of a mixture of both. Either way, you win!

I think it's funny to read the m15m, then see it, then read the m15m again.

That animatoin about made me die. Cleo owns my soul.

Excellent! What a way to laugh of a wearying friday! And the zoom shot should be way enough for the special effects Oscar in the "moving gifs" cathegory. ;-)

My husband wants to see it, but he's very leery about me seeing it with him. Because I can't snark or laugh at the movie. I have to promise. I ... I don't think I can, Cleo. Help me! :)

Hey! I love your work so much and the idea of the animations that I made one for "Lost" from your recap of "All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues"

I thought it was funny...but you've probably ruined me for the movie. If i ever go see it (i probably will wait for rentals) I'll probably see these caps and and think of this....but that's not a bad thing...im just saying...
