I also remember a Jonathan Doolin having some very nice gifs on same
topic, but they're in some obscure discussion forum thread I can't dig
up right now.

Jonathan Doolin has quite a large YouTube presence. Most of his
videos appear to be for classes that he taught at Carl Sandburg
College. He's also been active on Quora. I imagine that somewhere he's
provided contact information, so you should be able to email him.
My next animation will be of a large cube viewed from a fixed angle
to illustrate the pronounced curvature effects that one can
hypothetically observe. I put the traveling animation in the Special
relativity article because of its relevance in interpreting apparent
superluminal motions of black hole jets, etc. But this next
animation does not have such immediate relevance in interpreting
astronomical phenomena, so I'll probably stick in in the Terrell
rotation article.
