Some examples of still images animated

Before	After

The original	The words at the bottom are added a word at a time, then flashed, then the outline of the words is flashed, which kicks off a light charge that travels around both sides of the logo, finally reaching a common meeting point, and then forming a brief glowing star.

Before	After

The original	The changing spotlights in the background are made with over 20 different images. The light beams vary in intensity to give an even greater range of possibilities.

Before	After

The original	One letter gets a star after 10 seconds, then another gets a star 5 seconds later. The process does not repeat again for 20 seconds.

An example of color changing and animation

Before	After

The original	The drop shadow effect is turned on and off.

Before	After

The original	The letters are highlighted by lighting from behind. Most of the time, the logo looks the same but the cycle repeats every 30 seconds.

Before	After

The original	The eye winks after 10 seconds, waits 10 seconds and then taps his toe restlessly. The intent was to be subtle. On the page where this is used, most people never realize that the logo is animated.

Before	After

The original	The rainbow held over the head is used like a jump rope.

Before	After

The original	The tiny Italian lights that Mr. C's is famous for are added to the logo.

Before	After

The original	The changing spotlights in the background are made with over 20 different images. The light beams vary in intensity to give an even greater range of possibilities than just switching the four beams on and off.

Before	After

The original	The eyes blink and then do a look around, including a cross-eyed look.

Before	After

The original	The triangle gets drawn a leg at a time, then the "swish" is added a bit at a time.

Finished Result

Endless Cheetahs

The cheetahs seem to never stop. That is because I made sure they never do. The first cheetahs are merged in with the last so that the process repeats.

The sun was to the left and to the rear, causing the side we see to be darker than would be preferred. Cheetahs aren't actors so reshooting is not an option. ... You take cheetahs when you can get them.

The image was made from a film clip of around 13 cheetahs walking abreast coming towards the camera, then filmed as they walked by. Not all of the cheetahs walked by when the background was similar enough to use. Can you count how many cheetahs were used?

An example of animation used to show a before and after image.

Before and After

The right side of the roof has a glare from the sun. An animated version shows the "before" and "after" in the space of a single image.

The right side of the roof has been repaired and the color change caused by the glare has been corrected. Notice the right side of the building is slightly different in color as would be normal due to positioning of the sun.
