Choosy art students choose GIF's

GIF's have intrigued me all semester and for this project I wanted to explore some new possibilities for them. I saw some ascii art and figured if I could make an image through text, then I should be able to make a series of images using the same process. My first GIF uses some of the techniques I used for last week's assignment in exploring different filters and effects in photoshop, and the 2 following are made with only ascii characters. The second is the same video sequence that loops sequentially, and the third is the result of each frame of text being layered on top of each other.
