you know how it is: woke up in my clothes again this morning, don't know exactly where I am. I should heed my doctor's warning (he does the best with me he can). he claims I suffer from delusion . . . yet I'm so confident I'm sane! it can't be an optical illusion, so how can you explain shadows in the rain? whoa

in english, with "it is raining," what does the "it" refer to?

in french it translates to "he rains"

in russian it's "rain is walking in one direction by foot"

"it" means the matrix. the matrix is raining . . . or is it?? do you think that's water pelting down on your head now??

This looks like a cool metal album cover. Animated album covers or other similar things like book jackets would be cool, but other then digital it would currently be prohibitively expensive if we are talking hand held stuff like I was thinking. Anyhow, bring on the rain!

lenticular printing, the kind that changes depending on the angle you're looking at it, would be one way to do it. you can, apparently, get an animated 5"x5" lenticular print made at walgreens for $3.99. I don't know if the technology is inherently much more expensive for bigger pictures but I wouldn't think so, however maybe with a larger image it's harder to render each frame distinctly across the entire picture.

oh man this reminds me of a book from my childhood, it had a number of black and white drawings that you could animate using barrier grid or "picket fence" animation (it's also called "scanimation" I guess). basically you had this clear plastic sheet with lines on it and by slowly moving the sheet over the image it created the appearance of motion. I bet that book had some rain images, the one I remember most vividly was a bunch of moving parts of a watermill.

here's a kitty animated using that technique:

apologies for the detour, back to rain eternal

e: apparently the use of lenticular printing for album covers etc. has a decent amount of precedent. from wikipedia:

quote:

The lenticular picture on the album cover for the Rolling Stones' 1967 LP Their Satanic Majesties Request was manufactured by Vari-Vue, as well as the postcards and other promotional items that accompanied the release.[36] Other lenticular LP covers include Johnny Cash's The Holy Land (1969)[37] and The Stranglers' The Raven.[38] In the 2010s lenticular covers for LPs became a bit more common, especially for deluxe re-releases.[39]

From around the mid-1990s some lenticular cd covers were produced (mostly for limited editions), including Pet Shop Boys' Alternative (1995) with an image of Chris changing into Neil,[41] The Sacrilicious Sounds of the Supersuckers (1995),[42] Tool's Ænima (1996), Velvet Underground's Loaded 2CD version (1997),[43] Kraftwerk Expo2000 (1999) and David Bowie's Hours (1999).[44] Ministry's 2007 The last sucker had an image of George W. Bush changing into a monstrous, alien-like face.[45]

In the 2010s lenticular covers for movies on DVD and Blu-ray became quite common.
