BEFORE & AFTER COLOURING CHALLENGE 🎨

I was tagged by: @cinematicnomad

Tysm for the tag! This was fun to do though I do class myself as a baby gifmaker in training lol. I'm still learning new techniques everyday and trying to improve my colouring. But hopefully people can see what I'm working with before they get the finished product and why gifmaker's rightfully get so upset when people steal/criticise/repost our work which seems to have gotten worse these days. I don't save my psd's unless they're for a particularly hard scene I've managed to conquer colouring. I chose a selection of shows I currently gif the most - yellow filters are the devils work and my most hated thing to get rid of which seems to plague the majority of shows these days alongside really dark scenes.

I gif a lot of queer as folk which is a type of hell itself and to anyone who has ever done the same you understand what I mean trying to gif a show that was filmed with zero lighting and that's before you attempt a Babylon scene!

Anyway here's my attempt!

Wowowowowow what a year! Filled with plenty of ups and downs but honestly, I've gained so much this year. I've gotten into fandoms I know will stick with me for a long time so ty to anyone who recommended me something this year 💙

This year I'm honestly proud of myself with how far I've come with gifmaking. I've learned a lot of techniques and skills and I'm super proud of a lot of sets I've made this year. Shoutout to everyone in the @stcreators server for answering my dumbass questions and reblogging and complimenting my sets yall are so sweet <3 I can't wait to see what I'll have learned in another year

This year was so insane and I'm so grateful to all the friends I've made here and I wish all of them luck and joy in the new year. I already know 2024 is going to be a roller coaster for me, all I can hope is it's a good one. Gonna tag a bunch of people under the cut who've made me smile, mean something to me, or I wish luck in the new year. See yall next year!!! 💙💙

possible indicators of stolen gifs

(this isn't about going to the gif menu which automatically sources the gif underneath the image itself, this is about downloading and later uploading the image in a completely separate post.) (@gerardwaist's post reminded me to make a proper compilation of information which i've been meaning to do for a bit now because i'm tired so ty kit)

odd or inconsistent resolution - most people make gifs that are 540px wide for single-row gifs, 268px for 2 per row and 176px for 3 per row (as these are the resolutions that the gifs will be displayed on most people's devices when viewing the post in the dash). people who've stolen gifs often don't line gifs up correctly and this can result in oddly pixelated/small or clear/large looking gifs.

generally inconsistent gif style - this is pretty easy to spot, if gifs vary greatly in quality, size and colouring they may not all belong to the op (this is because the maximum image size on tumblr has increased massively over its existence; gifs from before 2012ish often being small with a low frame rate while most after 2017ish are very clean and smooth.)

captions with no source/information - the majority of seasoned gifmakers use the text part of their gif post as a place to denote what the gifset is about, source videos and/or add a relevant passage/quote. stolen gifs are usually accompanied by "reactions" to the gifs rather than information about them.

over-tagging or no tagging at all - since what most people who steal gifs want is engagement, they often over-tag said gifs with things that aren't particularly relevant to the actual content in the post (most people who've been on tumblr a while don't do this because tags are a way to find specific content, not just a way to get your stuff in front of more people. you'll probably get grilled for this).

also, most gifmakers tag their gifs as something along the lines of "my gifs" or another signature tag in order to find their ops later (for example mine is "candy.gif").

new or half-empty account - as i mentioned, a lot of this has to do with how long someone has been on tumblr. gifmaking is a very tumblr-based thing, people who have brand new or semi-active accounts probably aren't gifmakers.

watermarks (i.e. text stating the creator's username) that don't match the url - this can always be because the user has changed their url after making the gif, but if there are other indicators that the gif isn't theirs then it probably isn't.

the post itself isn't about the gif(s) - it may be a diary-type text post, fanfiction etc accompanied by a gif of the character they're talking about. plenty of people source these nowadays but there's always a few who don't get it.

either reply or send a quick message/ask to the person letting them know that they shouldn't repost someone else's gifs without permission and if possible track down the original post(s) to reblog and/or let the gifmaker know. a lot of people genuinely don't know the etiquette around fanmade content online so it's safest to let them know and give them a chance to right themselves before being particularly mean or judgemental.

[strayklds]

i'm not sure how to start this post because it feels absolutely unreal that i hit 1k followers a couple days ago 😭 i made this blog in october of last year and since then i've had so much fun making gifs of the boys & making friends in stayblr <3 you guys are really one of my favorite corners of the internet & i'm glad you all support my gifmaking so much! 🤍

to celebrate a bit (& because i think this will be fun) i'm going to be taking gif requests! feel free to send me an ask and make me choose between:

two members

friendships

members in different eras

songs

albums

hair colors on the members

music videos (or members in different mvs)

etc!

OR if you're indecisive like me you can request a member + a color & i'll make you a gifset for that member inspired by that color!

i'll be taking requests until the end of february so feel free to send in any requests up until then! mutuals feel free to send in more than one request if you'd like 🖤 it will probably take me a while to get through any requests i get, so please be patient with me!

just wanted to say hi for a second to some mutuals & friends i love seeing on my dash!! ty guys for always supporting my gifs & hanji brainrot <3

Soph. I watched this week’s episode with the worst glare on my screen (I’m at my parents’ for a funeral and I can’t figure out how to work their blinds) and your gifs are… how much time did you spend on the lighting and coloring? Chef’s kiss!

Hey!

Oh, no I'm sorry to hear about the funeral, I hope you're all okay as can be in the circumstances (bless you with the blinds 😅)

Ty for the compliment and honestly god's strongest soldiers are the people who are colouring season 2 of iwtv. Because as you know queer as folk is my ultimate nemesis when it comes to lighting and colouring, the mental illness I have incurred from giffing that show is slowly being surpassed by this current iwtv season.

There is zero lighting and the lighting we do have is doused in a mixture of green, red and yellow filters which okay may work for their "dark, vampire aesthetic" but it makes me want to kill myself and them.

Truthfully it does take me twice thrice as long to colour because as soon as you think you've cracked one part of the colouring, someone's face has turned pink and green and you're suddenly on the ground in the fetal position, sobbing, pressing delete and questioning your entire life choices 💀💀💀

[rosykims]
