Though Eric came up with this particular transform for GIFs, Andrew once tried similar techniques back in 1988 while working on algorithms to speed rendering ray traced animations.

| sideways | The animation frames were stacked up as before, but instead of producing a 3D model, a 2D GIF animation was generated of the vertical frames formed by the stack. In other words, the dimension of time and the image's Y spatial dimension were swapped. This brings us back towards the original animation's content, with no data loss but in a considerably different form.
