> Using imagemagick on the command line I was able to combine the images into a GIF.

man what a cop out, I was hoping they would use a text editor to build the gif. that would be way harder.

    Indeed, I've never developed my own film but I do respect it entails a fair bit of effort, and the funky old camera is cool.

    But scanning, cropping using one of the latest image editors, then running it through imagemagick does not feel like the hardest way to make a gif.

      Developing film is such a beautiful kind of magic. Watching the image appear in a darkroom before your eyes is a very unique experience.

    Yeah, real devs write their own LZW compression implementation from scratch in C++

No reference to Ulead GIF Animator? Was expecting some time travel step in between.
