Claim:
1. A computer implemented method comprising: receiving an image to be displayed within an animation sequence; positioning the image on a canvas that is used to create the animation sequence of the image using a physics property, wherein the image is a photograph formatted using image file formats, wherein the image can rotate along a pivot point, wherein the image cannot initiate executable routines nor facilitate computing functions, and wherein the physics property is a physics engine that includes a Y-gravity and X-gravity; calculating, using a processor of a machine, position data identifying a plurality of positions of the image within a display area of the canvas, the plurality of positions defining the animation sequence, the position data calculated by applying the physics property to the image resulting in the animation sequence from a start position to a resting position on the canvas; and transmitting the position data to a device for aggregation to generate the animation sequence including the image and the plurality of positions within the display area for subsequent retrieval and display.
