With that being said, you guys should know what you need to do next. Get yourself some movies (would be SO much EASIER if they're already in an avi format), get yourself a video program like VirtualDub. Cut a specific part of the movie that you like. Make it no longer than a couple of minutes because we are trying to make a .gif animation here. Do not forget to adjust the video size to something smaller than (again) 200pxl. After getting the clean cut piece done, save it under anything you want with a .avi format (for the sake of this article, I'm calling it technolyze.avi).
The next program that we need is Adobe ImageReady, an application program that 'should' come if you have Adobe Photoshop 7 or newer. With that being said, open up your technolyze.avi in ImageReady and it should open it up frame by frame. This is the reason why we only want to cut a short amount of the video here because opening a video file frame by single frame will take an insanely long amount of time. Plus, it might cause your machine to freeze up. After all the frames being load up, go 'save optimized as' under the file menu and save it as a GIF. You may tweak around with the number of colors setting in the tool bar on the right to maybe make your gif filesize smaller or to let the ASCII show a clearer converted image.
After this is done, open up the GIF file on ImageReady. This should make it easier for you to identify each frame and modify the time and all that. Save each frame as a motionless GIF or even a JPEG, use the site to convert them, and poof, you're done.
The step that I am still currently learning right now is javascripting. Which is what that Matrix ASCII is running of to do the animation sequence. I'll update this article once I find out how or whenever I learn it lol. A website that I would recommend is W3Schools. They have many tutorial articles relating to HTML, javascripting, XML, etc. A cheap and cheating way to go is probably just copying the source page from that Matrix ASCII site :/. THAT is if you are REALLY cheap and feel like cheating.
I got pretty far on this tutorial non the less without actually finishing it, you gotta admit ;p.
