# sorry for the threadwasteage but
How do you guys sample film into animated gifs?

I've got few ideas i'd like to try out.

Ta in advance

# I use Hypersnap DX
to snap DVD frames, then a freeware GIF animator.

Other folks use posh expensive video editing stuff from work (or kazaa) ;)

# so
you snap the frames one by one and then export into something like animation shop?

# that would work
www.hypersnap.com/

you can set a key (usually Scroll-Lock) as the snapshot button, and configure Hypersnap to save pictures sequentially, so you can take several at a time.
Your software DVD player must use a DirectX layer though (WinDVD does), otherwise it won't work.

# it was his brothers idea
Maybe they wanted to celebrate his memory, maybe they want to make a load of cash. We don't know.

# sit in the front row at the odeon
with a pencil and paper,
sketch the frames you want - you may have to watch the movie more than once so buy a large bucket of popcorn,
then get yourself a decent oil painting setup and start making the frames from your sketches
next, get a large flatbed scanner and place your oil paintings in the scanner (you may have to wait a few months for the paint to cure so you don't get oil paint all over the scanner glass) and take as high a resolution scan of each painting
then simply load each frame, in order, into your favourite gif anim software
et voila!
