A good option might be to convert your gif to the .webm format using https://gfycat.com/ - It'll allow you to keep the high quality but still keep the filesize down. (though i don't know if this forum works with webm files as attachments.)

Thanks Phanues for the suggestion and site. I'll look that up as I work on the animation.

Ladiestorm thanks for the rep. I cann't take all the credit - Chick Pea challenged me on how I was going to integrate "Nights in white satin" into the map, so I had to figure a way out.

Competing just drives us all forward, keep up the good work on yours!

oh, mine is complete... there isn't much more I can do to it before it becomes too cluttered to see. And there is no way I could begin to try to animate it! I shall just have to bow to your ingenuity
