It's cheating if it's half played forward and the other half played in reverse -_-

[–]Polycephal_Lee 122 points123 points ago

Yeah, it's not really a loop, it's a back and forth.

[–]JohnAdamZiolkowski 94 points95 points ago

Forever? ))<>((

[–]kevons5252 39 points40 points ago

With the same poop.

[–]LeTigreLeTigre 15 points16 points ago

Forever.

sefxy.gif?

[–]FinnTheFickle 1 point2 points ago

I can't say that without dislocating my jaw.

[–]Hyunion 5 points6 points ago

foreverrr

[–]Othy 2 points3 points ago

Oh, oh my...

[–]bmoney1492 0 points1 point ago

Probably be pretty hard to get your assholes that close together if you think about it though...

[–]JohnAdamZiolkowski 1 point2 points ago

I honestly have no idea what this is about, but I see people post this same series of comments over and over and over ... I just wanted to fit in :c

[–]DustBiter 2 points3 points ago

An awesome movie called Me and You and Everyone We Know

[–]AiKantSpel 14 points15 points ago

This is a perfect loop...

[–]kirakage 7 points8 points ago

It's still more aesthetically pleasing in cases where the direction of time doesn't matter, like this, than one where the scene changes dramatically every loop. In my opinion.

[–]WeLoveKanjimari 3 points4 points ago

I dunno, I prefer a sudden cut to the beginning over a completely eerie and unnatural-looking reversal of movement. Even at the same speed you can tell just by looking at it that his head is not moving naturally when it resets.

[–]austin1414 1 point2 points ago

Exactly. The head follows the eyes, but at the end it's the other way around.

[–]yammys 1 point2 points ago

But the motion he makes at the very end looks so unnatural.... If we're going for aesthetics, I'd prefer this gif without the reversed half, even if it meant a non-seamless loop.

[–]pearson530 4 points5 points ago

Did OP cheat?

[–]Twizzies 14 points15 points ago

Lady in the background sort of does a quagmire head-bob.

[–]cosmicr 3 points4 points ago

allllriiight

[–]TheCyberGlitch 1 point2 points ago

Using reverse frames to make the transition from the beginning to ending of the GIF is fine, but just having a half and half mirror like this is lazy.

This GIF I made of Dwight demonstrates good use of reverse frames.

[–]lilibrillo 28 points29 points ago

that was terrifying....

[–]vuxa 32 points33 points ago

sure was

[–]FutureMad 7 points8 points ago

This GIF is perfect, i'd like to be that good in photoshop.

[–]Mayor_Goldie_Wilson 33 points34 points ago

Seamless

[–]mr_blue 9 points10 points ago

if you watch closely, you can see he messes up at the 97th throw.

[–]Mayor_Goldie_Wilson 4 points5 points ago

NO HE DOESN'T. Why, I trusted you....

[–]Daeizer 3 points4 points ago

Not quite, look at his left leg.

[–]oakydoke 0 points1 point ago

What was it? I got the willies and left...

[–]desert_cruiser 1 point2 points ago

it took so long!

[–]funkyselection 0 points1 point ago

You crazy bitch!

[–]volvoguy 0 points1 point ago

Jeevesy...

[–]salt_addict 85 points86 points ago

Nice.

[–]zanmanoodle 9 points10 points ago

Well done, George.

[–]austin1414 3 points4 points ago

Clapping videos are basically the only gifs I've seen that loop perfectly.

[–]Tmeesseman 3 points4 points ago

/r/cinemagraphs

[–]Average913 0 points1 point ago

Is it wrong that I don't like these? There's a strange amount of uncanny valley in them.

[–]blakeready710 55 points56 points ago

This gif had a lot weighing on whether or not it loops correctly

[–]jettrink 6 points7 points ago

Watching his eyes move is so strange

[–]haeri 6 points7 points ago

[–]mwilcox 4 points5 points ago

Still not perfect

[–]Haasts_Eagle 26 points27 points ago

Is this a perfect gif?

[–]Megabobster 21 points22 points ago

Nope.

[–]AngryKumquat 1 point2 points ago

It's so perfect I can smell it, then I realized my grandma is making breakfast right now.

[–]Bazing1980 1 point2 points ago

No it's bacon, a perfect food.

[–]Karmaisforsuckers 2 points3 points ago

It's weird how going forward, the eyes move before the head, and it looks natural, but in reverse, the head moves before the eyes, and he looks like a robot.

[–]AccidentalReddit 2 points3 points ago

it is a bounce, not a loop

[–]MyNameCouldntBeAsLon 9 points10 points ago

/r/cinemagraphs baby

[–]tandembandit 14 points15 points ago

It's not really a cinemagraph though. Cinemagraphs have much more subtle movement and the content should be able to stand on its own as an unmoving image. At least, that's a pretty common explanation from the folks at /r/cinemagraphs

[–]Cayou 7 points8 points ago

Yes, OP's gif isn't a cinemagraph, but the point is that you'll find neat looping on /r/cinemagraphs.

[–]PhilipGreenbriar 4 points5 points ago

Yeah but.... creepy.

[–]stone500 0 points1 point ago

I think one of the best looped gifs I've seen is the one with Ellen Page juggling, but I can't find it.

[–]Teahes 0 points1 point ago

But it doesn't have to loop.

[–]epicyon 0 points1 point ago

Was I the only one hypnotized into repeating the same motion?

[–]Inessia 0 points1 point ago

not even perfect

[–]o_oPeter -1 points0 points ago

Was I the only one expecting this .gif to loop perfectly?

[–]cynicallady -2 points-1 points ago

I'm not going to be able to sleep now. That was scary.

[–]kunteper -2 points-1 points ago

is the perfect looping gif, a jpg ?

EDIT: read this with keanu's conspiracy face. too lazy to add.

[–]mr_blue -1 points0 points ago

so meta.
