For anyone interested, there's a whole subreddit filled with cool gifs like these! /r/cinemagraphs

[–]anEnglishman 7 points8 points ago

Yup discovered this subreddit last week and love it. All of them are like this because that's how it works!

[–]Holocausts_less 54 points55 points ago

Fuck yeah SCAD

[–]magicbullets 7 points8 points ago

[–]andAH-HA 10 points11 points ago

Upvotes for someone else noticing SCAD! I looked at going there, still wish I could have.

[–]Holocausts_less 0 points1 point ago

Oh i do and love this gif

[–]InfiniteMindLoop 2 points3 points ago

Oh SCAD redditors....where the fuck are all of you????

[–]TheJTizzle 1 point2 points ago

[–]phychoticsilence 0 points1 point ago

SCADies! Sure miss Broughton St.

[–]brianhaddad 0 points1 point ago

I loved living downtown. The school was too darn expensive though.

[–]SevenCubed 0 points1 point ago

Do you remember Fabers on Broughton? DOES ANYONE? I'm too goddamn oldschool for the Reddit Crowd. Damnit, in MY DAY, O-House had a pool!

[–]SevenCubed 0 points1 point ago

Well, several of us are at /r/scad, so y'know. Might start there. =D

[–]Gercke 0 points1 point ago

2011 graduate here.

Who else fuckin' misses Zunzi's?

[–]skyboysky 1 point2 points ago

Yeah!! That's my alma mater... :)

[–]bsmiff 22 points23 points ago

Good old Broughton St.

[–]Weedworm 2 points3 points ago

Came here to find this comment! I knew it was Broughton street. Been there every St. Patrick's Day and then random times throughout the year. Statesboro is only an hour away

[–]lbtiki 117 points118 points ago

Stared at this thing for 5 minutes. Waited for the guy on the right to start walking towards me. Gave up, what's so special??

[–]Pmonstah4[S] 49 points50 points ago

It's just kind of magical and relaxing.

[–]13ArmedZombies 130 points131 points ago

It kinda stressed me out. I'm probably watching too many horror movies.

[–]2pxl 20 points21 points ago

I too was waiting for some shit to charge me and start clawing the screen. Guess its back to those animated scare comics.

[–]Kind_compliments 11 points12 points ago

[–]3150OrBust 2 points3 points ago

Oh god, that shit was terrifying.

[–]ElectricWarr 2 points3 points ago

10/10, perfect rendition.

[–]TheAryanBrotherhood 13 points14 points ago

Now waiting for somebody to post a minute+ long gif that looks something like this so people just stare for a while, thinking it's just a normal continuous masterpiece, when all of a sudden BOOM! it fucking makes you poop a little.

[–]Joshua8195 5 points6 points ago

Or a lot.

[–]tess2891 4 points5 points ago

was expecting the girl from the exorcist or the ring to pop up on my screen, was clutching my desk in anticipation!

[–]May2121 18 points19 points ago

These are called Cinemagraphs.

"Cinemagraphs are partially animated photographs in which a subtle movement action occurs. The effect is produced by taking a series of continuous shot photographs or a video recording and compositing the frames into an animated GIF file."

[–]LoboDaTerra 16 points17 points ago

This is what I came here to say

r/Cinemagraphs

If you like this, you will love it there.

[–]May2121 1 point2 points ago

Awesome, thanks.

[–]Papersaurus 5 points6 points ago

Might I direct you to /r/Cinemagraphs? There be more where this came from!

[–]lbtiki 6 points7 points ago

I agree, but I guess when I'm reading posts, when someone says "special", I think there's going to be a gimmick/trick/etc.

Maybe if in a different subreddit instead of r/funny, I may have had a different reaction. Just my .02

[–]Pmonstah4[S] 59 points60 points ago

This is /r/gifs.

[–]lbtiki 60 points61 points ago

Well then, I'll just shut up now...

[–]Bobojobaxter 5 points6 points ago

LOL. I can sympathize with him a little. I sometimes have to check the url since they all show up on my customized front page!

[–]Photomancer 2 points3 points ago

I thought special meant boobs were going to be involved somehow.

[–]imnotlebowski 0 points1 point ago

Up voted you. Just looking at it kinda made me calm and cozy.

[–]denoran -1 points0 points ago

Seriously, reddit is retarded with the downvoting nowadays

[–]Nsuln -2 points-1 points ago

You bastard

[–]RedManDancing 2 points3 points ago

It's right from one top comment of an r/askreddit-Thread...

[–]AzureBlu 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was gonna be a jumpscare..

[–]thedarkpurpleone -3 points-2 points ago

I was convinced I saw his face flicker to look at me until I came here to check what was special.

[–]GreekActor1 12 points13 points ago

I really wish I could make this my wallpaper.

[–]Xomz 2 points3 points ago

With this one program called DreamScene you can. I cant seem to find a link but i know that it enables videos to be set as your desktop wallpaper. Pretty cool if you ask me

[–]tweed08 10 points11 points ago

I sit at this bus stop everyday waiting to go home from work. Gotta love Broughton St.

[–]Loraxrelax 10 points11 points ago

[–]Buried_Sleeper 2 points3 points ago

Came here to post this, one of my favourite sites. :)

[–]Loraxrelax 2 points3 points ago

[–]tapdansinpenguin 12 points13 points ago

I was waiting for something to pop out and scare the shit out of me..

[–]ThatDoesntEven 8 points9 points ago

This is a Cinemagraph. Try /r/Cinemagraphs if you like this sort of Gif.

[–]JamesKBoyd 5 points6 points ago

Savannah, the most beautiful city in America.

[–]Redbutter 0 points1 point ago

For me to poop on!

[–]jlchavis0844 3 points4 points ago

This GIF looks like how a Tom Waits album sounds.

[–]gnahb 1 point2 points ago

Only his songs that are what he calls grand weepers.

Some of his other songs are better represented by a picture of a tractor crashing into a barn on fire.

[–]p0rtugalvii 3 points4 points ago

Needs more sad tennant.

[–]Nicxtrem99 7 points8 points ago

Riders on the storm...

[–]apullin 8 points9 points ago

Yes, what's special about it is how many times it's been respoted.

In fact, you're only reposting it becasue you recently saw it in the "What gif would you want to be trapped in?" thread. This one: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/z8mqf/dear_reddit_if_you_had_to_choose_a_gif_to_be/c62fpxv

[–]lockleon 0 points1 point ago

Yeah there is.

[–]Tattoo_Addict 1 point2 points ago

[–]daveofstrength 0 points1 point ago

this reminds me of a scene from blast from the past where it is a rainy night and christopher walken's character emerges from the fallout shelter and visits the adult book store

[–]jajajavoigt 2 points3 points ago

Downtown savannah

[–]doordingboner 0 points1 point ago

I want a moving painting of this on my wall and stare at it everyday before I leave the house and when I return before bed.

[–]Batticon 1 point2 points ago

Lovely.

[–]AVerbalAffair -1 points0 points ago

That is the most depressing gif I've ever seen in my fucking life!!! Maybe I'm just upset because it never rains in Phoenix.. Sorry, still upvoted.

I'd love to just walk through that. Walking in the rain at night is nice.

[–]FatMansPants 1 point2 points ago

It's Britain and it's raining. Nothing special about this.

[–]midgisms 2 points3 points ago

It's actually not Britain. Savannah, Georgia, US.

[–]bgiles07 1 point2 points ago

My home <3

[–]midgisms 0 points1 point ago

[–]pointofinformation 0 points1 point ago

There's something special about this endless repost.

[–]Delocaz 1 point2 points ago

/r/Cinemagraphs

A subreddit full of these things.

[–]AdmiralBitchface 0 points1 point ago

Am I looking for a hidden dick or something similar?

[–]lean_back 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of L.A. Noire

[–]Carlos1264 -1 points0 points ago

Yeah there is something special about it, it has the best weather.

[–]sultanakbar -1 points0 points ago

[–]Drunk_Soldier 0 points1 point ago

I was scared that something was going to pop us and make me shit myself.

[–]ShakespierceBrosnan 0 points1 point ago

I agree. Play this link under this gif., (from where I've timestamped it at 23 seconds to about 54 seconds) and then tell me if I got it right. THIS HERE LINK

[–]yarsteph 2 points3 points ago

I was waiting for something to jump out at me.

[–]Dancing_monkey 0 points1 point ago

I kept flinching until it completely loaded.

[–]skyman117 0 points1 point ago

It's so relaxing. Is there a video with the rain noise out there somehow?

[–]MollySmithMS 0 points1 point ago

See I thought this type of thing was called a cinemagraph. What's the difference between a gif and a cinemagraph?

[–]ShinigamiKai 0 points1 point ago

Anything that has to do with rain is speciall.

[–]thedorks1212 0 points1 point ago

I stared at the thing for like 10 mins. What I miss?

[–]Relkeb 0 points1 point ago
