Ho says this GIF was made with Photoshop, compiled from images and videos found online. Of the 70 or so frames, "each is spliced together individually, much like how one would with a flip book."

The organisers said: "What blew us away was the huge variety of GIFs received -- there are cinemagraphs, stereoscopic GIFs and stop-motion animation."
