man what a cop out, I was hoping they would use a text editor to build the gif. that would be way harder.

Indeed, I've never developed my own film but I do respect it entails a fair bit of effort, and the funky old camera is cool.
But scanning, cropping using one of the latest image editors, then running it through imagemagick does not feel like the hardest way to make a gif.
