No, it is not art. Art isn't just any collection of smears on a page, any collection of sounds, or jumble of words - art has a message, a deeper meaning - art is an expression of the artist's ideas. Can GIFs be art? Yes, they can, but that does not automatically make all GIFs art. Can photoshopped materials be art? Yes, they can, but that does not automatically make all photoshopped materials art. Simply recording something is not art. The thing being recorded might be art, but the actual recording is not. I still think it's art because people can interpret it in millions of way. They can interpret the person who create the animations themselves.

If you did that's that unoriginal, unless you reference it.

Also, you could be plagiarizing Leonardo da Vinci. I'm sure there lots of good artists in the world, but not many people know them. They do not have to be famous.

And Journalism is not just writing. Writing is a certain approach to journalism, but there are others such as photo journalism and video journalism. Making GIFs is a skill, a science, and video/photo journalism. I think that's called a documentary. TopsyKretts3 wrote:

How the bullets cluster does not change the actual animation, which GIFs aim to show. Like I said, if you want to include them in your sets, that's fine, but I will not waste my time on them. Some people like to see the recoil before buying the gun. TopsyKretts3 wrote:

Furthermore, just where did I say that you're animations are bad? The animations that I, first, uploaded, and the ones that you, later, uploaded, are of about equal quality. The fastest GIFer wins. I respected that when Blue uploaded certain GIFs before I did (Such as the GP M16A4), and you should when I upload some faster than you do. I'm saying that my animation will turn out bad. Blue's animations are not bright like yours.
