Basically, this is an animated
PANIC with a few
simple rules.
- images should be GIFs or JPGs
- images should be 3:2 aspect ratio, ideally 210x140 pixels
- images should be under 50k each
The results of this project will ultimately be animation
loops. You might want to ponder that as
you're creating
your manipulations. Filter/Offsets and gradual re-application
of filters in PhotoShop has a neat effect. Work in series
rather than as a one-off. You're sculpting with time
and light and motion. You have 30 minutes to work.
You upload one image at a time (filename will be set by
the CGI). Once you start uploading, you'll have 3 minutes
to upload the next image, and so on. So, don't start
uploading until you're ready to send all of your images.

Process:
- Load the Threads page
- Click on a Reserve link at the right of a thread
- Make a sequence of images to continue the animation (no special
filenames required)
- Go back to the Threads page
and click the Ready link next to the thread you have
reserved
- Upload your frames, one by one. Each new upload will
provide you with a few extra minutes to upload your entire
sequence
