I'm trying to find out how the dithering compression effect of this site fauux.neocities.org was made (click on "Go visible" inside the site to see what I'm talking about).
The creator posted some info abt the site and the creative process on Reddit.
He said that "From the first day the style was basically set. I liked the idea of the 10MB limitation, so I kept going to see how much I could make with it. [...] It grew natural, there were no grand plan so to say. I just really fell in love with the dithering compression as it fit right into the Lain universe." ...
... so I guess it should have something to do with compressing images on PS to reduce the image size and getting that dithering effect (the creator said somewhere else that he used PS to make it).
I also found this post, with diferent suggestions on how to make a really similar effect.
What do yall think?
Thanks!
Alright, so I asked to the creator of the website and they told me that "Hello, it's easy if you have photoshop. Just click save for web as a gif, got a bunch of settings for dithering there."
Anyways thanks for the answers, imma leave this here if anyone searches for it on the future.

This appears to be an After Effects project, not Photoshop.

You can create frame animation in Photoshop but some of these examples are using features that are better served using After Effects.

The more I dig into this - it appears this user has converted video to gif.
Creating frame animation to this level of detail in Photoshop would drive onself a little crazy.

Alright, so do you know how to do the dithering compression effect using AE?

Hi @Isaac Moon that would be a question better served in the AE community forum. I can move your post over there if you'd like.

I would still like to know if there's a way to do it on photoshop, but if I don't get any reply, I'll ask you to move it there. Thank you!

I understand that the animation is probably made using AE but I still would like to know how to replicate the dithering effect on a plain png image for example
