... have them move to get their attention.
An example would be a
"still shot" of a pretty girl that winks after a few seconds.
Seems so simple that it's impossible that it's never been
done
before, but as far as I know it hasn't. A moving gif is a
moving
gif and a picture is a picture
despite the fact that the only
way to tell them apart is, well, one moves. Gifs and pics
are
often put on the same page but the gifs are always loaded
to
show movement right away, that's the point right? Having
the
only movement be at the end so it appears to be a pic
would
really get your attention. The first 70 or 80% of the frames
are the same pic, all movement frames being at the end
20%.
Of course the downside is this would be a great way to
resurrect the thankfully out of fashion "screamers" of old,
where a video would lull you into a state of boredom and
they flash a scary picture on the screen, attended by a
scream usually, to make you jump out of your skin.
I don't think this has ever been done, but if it has please
post
links, I'd like to see it.
Ok, been baked, but not much, so I'll leave this up and say the original idea is to call them "Picgifs"
Search words; "freaked me out"

There are a few of these now since imgur added a gif feature. Strictly entertainment and not promo uses so far, but I imagine that will change soon. I will post them here as I stumble across them. They aren't easily searchable unless you've 'favorited' them or something. (+) They're kind of freaky. Your looking at a photo and then the reflection in the window turns and looks at you... this kind of thing. |

widely known to be baked in the last millenium. Typically in the use described in the idea - there would be some sort of challenge associated with the image. Then something shocking would show while the victim was looking for the difference or whatever. |

You don't even need lots of frames - gifs can have long frame durations. |
