This is from a photo shoot I did for a club I'm in regularly. They had their 7-year-anniversary and invited old and new regulars as testimonials for the event-magazine.
Aaaand this is me holding the mentioned magazine up. Inception!
And finally me and my beloved :S
Off I go!

Me at a rave. It was beyond awesome. A memorable night.
You look so thrilled to be there.

I recorded some on the way home from Gothenburg a week ago and made a few gifs.
There's a third one, but I'll only link it; it's 11.9 mb.

Oh, and this is what it looks like where I live.
Cusco, you do amazing gifs and you're pretty good looking too.

Thank you, both of you.
It's actually rather easy to make gifs like these, provided you have some kind of equipment. I shoot video using my Nikon D7000 and, mostly, Nikkor AF-S 50/1,4G. When I get home, I fire up Photoshop CS6 and do the following:
File -> Import -> Video Frames to Layers...
(I usually only import every second frame, to reduce file size)
First of all, shrink the "video" (now layers in an animation) to a width of around 500 px, I find that a good compromise of resolution vs file size. Next, do whatever you want; perhaps change colors/brightness through adjustment layers on top of all the layers, etc. You'll get the hang of it. When it's time to save, go to:
File -> Save for Web... These are the settings I normally use: http://i.imgur.com/GJmwu.png
Lossy pretty much adds noise and reduces file size. I use 0, 9 or 19, depending on the length (file size) of the gif. Unchecking the Transparency-box usually reduces the file size by an additional 5-10 %.
Most often, I can't bother to upload my gifs to dA, so I just save them to a public Dropbox-folder and hotlink from there. When I post gifs here, though, I first upload the gifs to dA (Category: Digital Art > Miscellaneous > Animation), to avoid getting suspended from Dropbox again, because of excessive traffic.
Also, when you think about it, why would stationary scenery (well, in this case it was made better because I wasn't stationary, but you get my point) be any more suitable for video, than living, vivid people? Just check out this gif that I posted a couple of weeks ago:
Please, do record some of your models for a couple of minutes and make a gif or two. It can't hurt to try!
