From the Twilight Zone, and Beyond …
Assignment Value:
So far, 40 people have completed this assignment.
Hello. I am Talky Tina. When I was young, in the early years of television, a lot of my friends worked in televions programs that pushed the boundaries of imagination, sight, sound, perception, identity, belonging. The time was fueled by the paranoias and fears of the fifties, sixties, and the cold war. Oh, it was grand to play with my childhood friends back then!! Spurred on by advances in sciences and technologies brought with the advent of nuclear power and the space race (we had such great toys!), programs like The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits provided wonderful experiences, and insights into humanity (and friends!).
Somehow, as a child of that era, I have found that I can only see in black and white. But that's okay, because a black-and-white sequence makes for a smaller GIF anyway! Can you help me relive my childhood (and perhaps your childhood, or that of your parents?) with some nice, friendly b&w animated GIFs From The Twilight Zone and Beyond? Try to capture all of the really nice childhood moments! You know the really, really best and funnest parts!
I will be watching to see your assignments, so don't let me down, friend.

DUBSTEP!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH, MY EARS!!!
I found the episode, “The Invaders,” of the Twilight Zone to be freakin hilarious!
I miss my childhood when Dubstep didn’t exist.
I used MPEG Streamclip to trim my scene, exported it as images, imported in GIMP as layers, scaled images, and saved as .GIF. BAM!…

The invaders GIF
I made a GIF to represent the Twilight zone episode the Invaders. In this episode, the invaders are little action figures but actually turn out to be the US, and the person ends up being a giant! Threw a little twist in things, huh?!
Here is a little animated GIF …

Classic Twilight Zone Animated Vintage Clipart
Riffing on Brian Bennett’s awesome version on the “Graphic Gift” assignment, I downloaded his template and put in the reveal moment for of the classic “The Invaders” episode for a quick three stars (recommended):
This was pretty simple (standing on the shoulders of giants is allowed ), I just opened …
A Katamit’s Private Thoughts
With all that capacity up there in the braincase, the Katamit is able to both communicate telepathically with the earthlings, but also reserve some bandwidth for his own secure and private thoughts.
Would that our intrepid hero Cryptographer Michael Chambers had spent more time trying to decipher the Katamit text …
Creepy little spaceman is even creepier now
I submitted a couple of gifs for this assignment earlier, but wanted submit an improved version of my first gif ever, b/c I learned how to do something fun: animate only part of an animated gif.
I Just Want To Wake Up
From season 1 episode 9, “Perchance to Dream.” A man fears falling back asleep because he will be put right back on the roller coaster in his dreams. It’s too real.
Whats UP? Invaders GIF
The aliens are here.
My favorite part of the Invaders episode was definitely watching Agnes Moorhead chew on the chip, or whatever it was, in the beginning. This clip captures the eerie mood as she stirs her smoky cauldron and begins to hear strange noises.
