You've probably already seen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animated_gif animated GIFs] on the Internet. While they're a relatively archaic format and have a number of limitations (such as being restricted to 256 or fewer colors), they can be a quick and fun way to show something in motion: sort of like a brief video or slide show.

While you can't upload animated GIFs directly into Second Life (GIF isn't a supported texture upload file format), you can show them on a prim's face with [[Shared Media]].
 
== How do I make animated GIFs? ==
 
There are numerous tools: [http://www.google.com/search?q=animated+gif+maker googling for "animated gif maker"] yields various results.
 
Advanced content creators may already be familiar with using tools already in their workflow, [http://bit.ly/bcGvtG like Adobe Photoshop], to create animated GIFs.
 
Certain video apps can export a movie as a series of still images, or directly export as an animated GIF.
 
== Marketplace ==
 
The [http://marketplace.secondlife.com Second Life Marketplace] supports animated GIFs, [as detailed here] {{red|link to Grant's blog post}}.
