beesandbombs solution for Gif making. I get this question a great deal as well. Hope it helps.
Of course one can refine their Gif-making skills in photoshop as well. Lots of trial and error there, but you can get great results.

this is a gif i posted a few weeks ago. if you would like to make gifs like this, here is the processing source code.
note that a) i don’t write code which i intend for other people to read, apologies, and b) the code incorporates a fairly messy hack to get a motion blur effect.
enjoy!
Processing - Motion Blur, and Anti-Aliasing via Scaling Demo
Have any of you ever played with Processing? It’s free, open source, AND it’s nifty! It’s the tool behind the amazing works of Bees & Bombs, Echophon, p5art, and even a few of my own GIFs. Haven’t played with it before? The video tutorials over at hello.processing.org are a really simple and fun way to break into the creative coding scene. Give it a try!
Some artists like Dave Bees from Bees & Bombs go the extra distance and help others learn about how to get better at this tool, and it’s thanks to him that I’m able to share this little kit - He provided me with the original algorithm for the motion blur approach that I’ve got in there now. I was talking with Echophon earlier today about how he hadn’t yet figured out how to get anti-aliasing into a few of his sketches, so I wrote this up for him to help out - I can’t wait to see what you create, man!

5 years ago I started programming with Processing. I made the basic (2D-)Version for this one for an assigment at my learning processing class. The 3D version is 4 years old and it is the first sketch I have ever uploaded to processing. So time for a complete recode, trying to avoid any change in the visual result and keeping the basic structure. And give it a little speed up. And give it a GUI to get a lot of variations in a little amount of time.

Processing port of ‘realistic terrain in 130 lines’
(original post with explanations and Javascript source code here; Processing code here)
A big thank you to aBe (he of FunProgramming fame) for his help! I wouldn’t have been able to do it successfully on my own. His additions to the code have allowed me to learn a lot!
Nice work here.
Thanks, xeronimo
Processing Random Landscape Generator || Rock-Bomber
So for an art class, we had to make a random content generator using Processing and so I made a landscape generator. The first 4 pictures are the landscapes I drew up as a complete set: tetris battlefield, glitch land, the city, and the desert.
I drew each part of the scapes on 6 separate layers, so when I plug them into the program, it puts them together in a random order making a unique or abstract landscape!
Nice way to try and kick out art blocks! I’ll add new landscapes from time to time to keep the excitement going~

Creative Applications have covered a project by lafkon which created geometric stopframe animations using granular material and a pen-plotter:
Created by Lafkon duo consisting of Benjamin Stephan and Christoph Haag, etcpp is an animation created using Processing and a Pen Plotter where animation frames are drawn into various granular matter.
The project started during a pitch for collaborative animation project and unfortunately disapproved at the very early point, which duo decided to complete regardless. It’s built upon experimental work with pen plotters, described as precise machines and not too over-engineered and easily hackable. The process began by generating different animations using Processing which were then converted to vector graphics using an autotrace batch conversion and finally hpgl coordinates. All frames are then combined into one source file with a trigger command between each frame. Whenever the trigger command happens, i.e. when the plotter pen moves into it’s zero position, it activates a hardware switch – the camera takes a photo.
Here is the animation that was produced:
You can find out more about the project (and see the process of putting together the frames in action) at Creative Applications here

When someone is blind from birth, what happens in their brain’s visual cortex? Scientists have long thought that this portion of the brain was repurposed, processing the input from a sense other than sight. But technology designed to help blind people “see” using soundscapes tells a different story. A Science Bulletin video.
