im so fucking tired of the disrespect gifmakers get on the gifmaker website

#kai.txt #negativity tw #(sorry these are gonna be a lot of tags. i have a lot of feelings and i dont know where else to put them) #we make gifs and nobody reblogs them #when they do get reblogged all people want to tell you is that your gifs arent good enough to them and rip it to shreds #'you're missing x' 'why didnt you do y' 'if i made this i would have abc' 'hey op ur wrong and this is why' 'i dont like this op' #reposters dont even reblog your fucking gifset but they'll save your gifs to repost later asking for how to do something #that they could have asked you how to do in the fucking first place #we reblog ourselves constantly because nobody else will and maybe to make our work look like it has more notes than it does #to make ourselves feel better about the lack of interaction we're getting #and then when we TALK about this frustration we have. people who are too afraid to say it to our faces #go on anon in our askboxes and tell us how we're somehow selfish for wanting people to interact with the sets #that we spent time on. hours. days. WEEKS in some cases #or we get anons who tell us the reason we dont have notes are because we arent good at gifmaking in the first place #but this is all on anon. because they're too scared to tell it to our faces #they're too scared for us to see that they ARENT a gifmaker and that they dont know how to do it any better either #they dont see us as people doing something we love as a hobby. they see us as content machines that dance like court jesters #im just so fucking tired of the disrespect #and this sentiment goes for more than just gifmakers. graphicmakers. artists. literally any creative hobby shared on this site #we get treated like shit and for what? literally for fucking what.

Gifmaker's challenge : Reblog this post with one before/after gif just to show people the work it takes to make even the most basic gifs. I'm not even talking about beautiful colouring that a lot of gifmakers put time into, this is the bare minimum editing I'd do for a scene like this 🫶 Gif making takes so much time and effort (and sometimes, funds for external hard drives and screencap software programs and legally getting PS) so I would just like people to see how hurtful it is when gifs get reposted on Twitter and here 🥲

Tagging @bizarrelittlemew @cobbbvanth @seance @djarin @yenvengerberg @michaelsheens @saltpepperbeard @ofmd-ann and any other gif makers out there who want to participate

#meow speaks #ofmd #our flag means death #giffing #gifmakers #ofmd edit #ofmd gifs #ofmdsource #Edward teach #🙃 #every time you repost a gif #my PS crashes right after I've masked so remember that #PLS credit your giffers #pls call people out when they steal gifs on twitter etc #be kind obv a lot of people don't know what they're doing #but there's literally 0 motivation to make gifs anymore because theft is so rampant #left one is just HD and I've cropped and timed that's about it

hello, hella! firstly i love your gifs and you are such an inspiration to me! secondly i loved this gifset /post/742077141260402689/hellas-valentines-day-countdown-mulder-x and i was wondering how did you manage to keep the colors "apart"? i don't know if i'm making much sense, but every time i blend two gifs and try to add a colorful gradient map on one of them, both gifs end up having the same color.

oh my god thank you!! that is so sweet <3

i think i understand what you're asking and the short answer is blending modes and putting colour over black space but i'll give the long answer under the cut!!

I'm going to assume that since you're blending gifs, you know how to blend using blending modes.

For the second gif of the x files gifset, I had these two gifs: the forehead touch gif and the forehead kiss gif. In a first draft of the gif, the forehead touch gif had a b&w gradient map and the forehead kiss had a blue & black gradient map like this.

As you can see, the forehead touch gif has a lot of dark space. When using the screen blending mode in gif blending, any part of the dark space on the base gif get "filled in" with the top layer that is set to screen.

So when I set the blending mode of the forehead kiss gif to screen, it fills in the dark parts of the forehead touch gif. And because there is so much dark space and the top layer is entirely blue, the whole gif basically turns blue. The only parts that stay gray are Mulder's shirt and the light in the background which were light to begin with.

But, like you, I didn't want the entire gif to be blue so I swapped the gradient maps. Now, the forehead kiss has a b&w gradient map on it and the forehead touch has a blue and black gradient map on it.

As you can see on the forehead touch gif, there is a high level of contrast so that any dark part of the gif is black (or nearly black) but not blue even with the gradient map applied.

That means that when I set the blending mode of the forehead kiss gif to screen, the forehead kiss gif fills in the dark part without actually becoming blue to give me this effect. This is because there is no colour to those dark areas that get's applied to the forehead kiss gif.

i hope that makes sense and answered your question!!

my general advice for blending is to have at least one gif with really well defined black/very dak areas because it creates such a cool effect with the screen blending modes!!

#hella's inbox #noctes #gif tutorial #but yes please let me know if that helps or if you still need help #my gifmaking process is just trial and error so i have a lot of answers along the lines of “here is where you went wrong”

reblog to like ratio is sooooo sad on here these days. SIGH.

#like i'm not one of the ~immaculate giffers #so getting notes is really hard now unless you have a following/or a network that has a following #and it's just........discouraging to try and gif anything for a fandom you're not in unless people follow you FOR your gifs #which isn't how like i want my tumblr to feel anyways but it used to be that i could just gif anything and somehow the chain would go off #and now............yeah it doesn't #i'll never forget how the one random star wars gifset i made one time got 30k notes #that was insane to me and will never be replicated #but still the norm among the fandom used to be ~1-2k notes on a gifset and a lot of those notes were reblogs with tags i used to live for #and also those tags pre 2016 are no longer visible which. yeah. hurts actually #tumblr salt in my tags i guess #tumblr salt #it's like having a popular fic and losing half or all of your comments #/end rant of my gifmaker's salt

rewatching a league of their own and the end of max’s game gets me every time...the way it’s not the team that surrounds her on the field, but her community first...led by her best friend, who was her real team all along...it’s beautiful and perfect and max gets so much of what she deserves i love it

#a league of their own #spoilers #max chapman #clance morgan #taking notes on gifmaking and i've mostly been skipping through to only the parts i need #but i love this scene so much i rewatched just for fun #(i love her storyline in general but it's also a lot more painful for me to watch--her mom has my name and they end up estranged #obviously their family is nothing like mine on really every level...supportive dad successful mom different culture and era #but i stil realized on the rewatch that the painful parts of max's world hurt way more even when i know they're coming #than any of the painful parts on carson's side of things)

Aawaaz ke raaz chupaaye

Ude abhra se jaa takraye

Tukde tukde dohraye

Mere tikde dil di rubaaiyaan.

-The shadow of obscure darkness

Hides the secret of a voice

Go collide with a high-flung cloud

So brokenly repeats

The poem of my cracked heart.

i also dont know why i get such overwhelming feelings of stupidity and guilt these days when im blorbo posting. especially if its about kip. it just comes to me every time nowadays and i dont know why

#i mean. i think its partially cause of all the shitty comments that ive seen so like. i feel like im doing something wrong by being a fan #which i know is not true #but shit brain chemicals go brrrrr #like posting and gifmaking etc makes me genuinely happy and actually feels like kind of a productive use of my time for once #but at the same time i just keep wondering if i should spend it on someone else #which.. idk. i dont know why this feeling is so strong these days #especially since i know my blog is very obviously branded so people are (or at least they should be i dont fucking know honestly) #likeminded here so i should have nothing to worry about #and yet #anyways i have food now im gonna shut up eat and finish those gifs and then try to write before double or nothing eventually kills me #just.. a thought thats been in my head a lot recently #night is an absolute mess on main

[scattered-winter]

I know that a scare like this happens every year or so so I want to express that I'm NOT panicking, but I do think it's smart to at least prepare for the worst case scenario just in case. so that being said would anyone be interested in an artist community discord server where artists could share art, writing, gifs, etc with each other regardless of fandom and also just. hang out? idk reply or reblog if that would be something ur interested in and maybe I'll put one together. even if tumblr continues to be the cockroach site maybe it'll still be fun to have a server like that idk

#winter speaks #i am not a very experienced mod and i also dont like drama so if i did make this we would all have to be chill with each other #but idk. maybe itd be fun. let me know if youd want to see it. #what im envisioning is just a place for writers to get betas/hype and artists/gifmakers to share their work/get hyped up #because tumblr has a lot of writing/art community and IN THE CASE of it going down i would like to try and keep that. #and obviously it wont be the same but idk. just a thought. lmk how u feel gang
