Art director Kevin Weir takes on historical black and white photographs turning them into strange and compelling GIFs.

Majority of his work have interesting worldly twists -- a woman turning into a flock of crows, a building smashing unassuming pedestrians and dragging them away, and a giant mutant snail emerging from a tunnel.
