I've been on these kind of social networks for over 10 years, when I see a funny\interesting gif that someone posted and think there's room for improvement (visual effects wise) - I go ahead and do it.
I've been working with after effects since 2001, hope you enjoy them. (please allow images to load as they are gif images and steemit doesn't support gifv or faster formats)
A side note: You might know about re-posting, people borrowing materials and so on, so I tagged my nickname ("teasider") on each of the gifs, hidden away in the background or some nice spot where I didnt think it will interfere with the animation. let me know if you see it anywere, It's always fun to see my stuff posted all around.

These take me about 1-2 days to make (each), So I would love to hear any kind of comments, and if this succeeds enough - I'll post some more!
