One tumblr I particularly want to highlight from my image page update is ‘Control gone bad‘. It’s unusual in that it’s the tumblr source for all its post, and all the posts are animated gifs. It’s not exactly originally content, given everything is taken from movies published elsewhere, but it definitely adds more value than tumblrs that only consist of reblogged jpgs from other tumblrs.
I’m a fan on animated gifs, despite the fact I don’t feature them here. That’s purely down to page load times and bandwidth costs rather than an aesthetic judgement. I actually think that a short focused animated gif can be more interesting than the original movie it’s from. It’s a distillation process that can capture an idea while providing enough wiggle room for the viewer to project his or her fantasy into it. The owner of the bad controls tumblr certainly does a good job of picking the right moments from otherwise average movies.
It’s kind of tough to feature an appropriate image here, given the aforementioned load time and bandwidth issues. So checkout the tumblr itself or click on the still below for a post I particularly enjoyed.
