With respect I ask that you do not save and repost any of the gifs I post here. If it's for a post on tumblr, I believe if you tap on GIF when making a post you can search for them and simply add them to your post with credit. That's fine. Otherwise, please ask me and say what it's for.
Here's, on a basic level, what me making a gif involves:
- Getting the scene(s) you want
- Cutting them into and organising the right shots
- Adjusting the size and speed
- Possibly adding captions (which is Effort)
- Sharpening to bring back quality and details lost in compression
- Adjusting the colouring of the gif so it looks nice
- Rendering each gif
- Getting html code for the caption and working out what tags to use cos tumblr's funny about them
A simple list like this may make it seem quite basic, but this honestly takes me hours at a time to do. So you can understand why downloading and posting stuff within a matter of seconds might upset your local gif maker. Thanks
