thanks guys its not so mujch gifs i want but avi but i have the info im after now u guys rock

YES, i can confirm than those are pics, that's pretty much lame color reduction of a picture. Pretty simple in some programs as photoshop...
But if you want to animate this kind of stuff by your own i have few apps to recomendations.

IN PC
* http://www.superfundungeonrun.com/easytoon - EasyToon (WIN) # Mainly Animation in B&W.

If you own a DSi
* http://flipnote.hatena.com/ - Flipnote Studio (DSiWare) # Free
You can export to ANIMATED GIF from there. And you can use from 2 to 3 colors, which is 1 bit/1.5 bits? XDDD

If you own a DS or DSLite
* http://deku.rydia.net/ - Animanatee (NDS) #Homebrew

EXTRA TOOLS
* http://www.whitsoftdev.com/unfreez/ - UnFREEZ (WIN) # Mix into Animated GIF file

Any other tool or app, check this link

what i do is use ffmpeg to export every frame of a video and then use imagemagick to process them all in whatever way (dithering to 1-bit in your case). i then put them back together as (avi) videos with ffmpeg. i don't know if ffmpeg is able to produce animated gifs, but it probably is. otherwise there must be some other gif tools, just use whatever gif tool and feed it the images you made.

the catch is that both ffmpeg and imagemagick are command-line tools. there are GUI frontends for both (sometimes i use the ffmpeg frontend "ffe" to convert youtube videos to mp3 - haha) but i imagine they both involve learning how to use ffmpeg and imagemagick command-line arguments anyway.

in terms of streamlined GUI solutions i imagine that adobe photoshop has a batch processor, but it is expensive and adobe. the GIMP, a free alternative to photoshop, does have a batch processor, but it involves using the command-line anyway (and seemingly also involves writing scripts in LISP - yikes). so i don't know what to suggest for free GUI options. maybe you'll just have to get stuck into the command-line.

(i don't mean to patronise by assuming you don't know how to use the command-line, maybe you do, maybe you don't - just trying to cater my reply to everyone who may be reading)

hope this helped.

imagemagick: imagemagick.org
ffmpeg: ffmpeg
the GIMP: gimp.org
adobe photoshop: adobe.com/photoshop

I'm pretty sure that those are just photos taken with the iOS app "1-bit camera"
Export for web in photoshop, choose 2 color gif w/ dithering - done.
(works in gimp as well)

are they not just gifs of pictures converted to two tone b/w things?

if i convert an image on MSN paint this is pretty much what they look like, fuck know how to do on this annoying windows 7 version i have at work though.

Clarified title

i would love to make some kind of animation like the 1 bit animations on
