Paolo Patakk is at again creating some more of his ‘Ultra Cool’ Digital GIF Animations, this time with one which is dear to my other passion other than photography …Star Wars! with a really cool digital Geometric GIF of Darth Vader.

This one would have been good for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge with this weeks ‘LOVE’ theme
Paolo was asked how does he make these complex and geometric GIF’s
Processing.
It’s a programming language, I code stuff. It’s not hard to learn, but it takes time for it to let you be creative, like every other tool. If you have a specific question about my work that was coded, feel free to ask (but please, send me an email if you don’t have tumblr account or just don’t be anonymous). All my work that was done in Processing can be found here.
Cinema 4D
A 3D software. I don’t know what else to say about it. It let’s you create, model and render stuff. If you want to learn it, just Google for some tutorials, there are a bunch of them on the internet, it’s a big place. My recommendations are Greyscalegorilla.
After Effects
For people who don’t know what it is, understand it like this, it’s like Photoshop with a timeline (Photoshop also has a timeline, but nah man). I use it to edit animations that were made with some other tool, like changing the colour, clone some stuff etc..
There also some other tools I use, but not that frequently. Also, I never use only one of those, it’s always a combination of few of them.
Geek Carl 
Not a Star War fan, but I really like the form of art that you brought to me here … that pumping heart – is so stunning. I have a living room wall that would love it.
It great how he’s revamped such an old technology of the Internet with such a modern twist… It’d be great if you could have it as a living poster on your wall, just as they appear on here. 🙂
Wow. Those are fantastic!
Thanks Carol, he’s such a clever guy
these are amazing
Ain’t they just…I can be a bit of a geek when it comes to Star Wars and technical stuff like these GIF’s 🙂
Stunning stuff. Very simple shapes brought to life. Takes a special mind to create this sort of imagery.
Your spot on Pauline, the software he uses takes a ‘very’ step technical learning curve to master, but it’s so nice to see he’s got the aesthetic creative side to go with it
One word.., Magical!
Thanks 🙂 🙂
Very cool!
TYSM 🙂
Wow I’ve personally never seen GIFs as such! These look so… professional and classy! Love them!
Hi Daphne, I’ve such a soft spot for the new style ‘creative’ animated GIF’s, there such a leap from the old flashing smiley faces.
