(just another) Gif Tutorial

Suit yourself :) This is also a very image heavy tutorial with as much detail as I could get into. Feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Back due to popular demand!! Here’s a reupload of my gif making tutorial! 🤗After my blog @stefani-germanotta/@pixelrey was terminated by tumblr for copyright reasons, this tutorial was deleted along with it because it had a “keep reading” cut :( That really bummed me out because I spent HOURS working on this. BUT I recently managed to find an archive of the tutorial (thanks to the wayback machine archive site - a LIFESAVER), so here it is again!  ♥︎ So without further ado, here’s a tutorial on how I make my gifs (including how to take screencaps + my trick for saving big gifs < 3mb!) 🎉 I noticed that it’s kind of hard to find a thorough step-by-step tutorial out there so I hope this helps!

You’ll need:

Photoshop CS6 or higher. I use PS CC 2017, but as long as you have the video timeline feature you should be fine.

A video player that takes continuous screenshots.

I personally use mpv on my mac and gom player on my pc.

This is what I’ve become. Look what you’ve made me do, you monsters.

Have some legit writing tips from yours truly:

Don’t throw a way an entire writing tool because some doink on writeblr told you to. Learn how and when to use it instead. Yes, this includes clichés and tropes.

Repetitive uses of the word “said” will be noticed, but sometimes you can replace it, often you can leave it out entirely. Personally, I often use “[person] said” to break up dialogue and indicate a pause. It’s also often necessary to show who is speaking, and sometimes that’s more important than how they spoke it.

You don’t always mumble, roar, breathe, scream things, do you? Sometimes you just say them. You just speak. And that’s fine. Let your characters to that too, not everything has to be stuffed with emotion and imagery at all times. In fact, if it is, it will quickly lose meaning as a side effect of its adundance. (This is why I don’t like purple prose.)

“Said” is invisible. This isn’t good, nor is it bad, it’s just a thing. If you need an invisible dialogue tag, use said. If you need something flashier, don’t use said. Easy-peasy.

Part of being a writer is knowing what words to use and when. Shocking, right?

If you replace all dialogue tags with entire paragraphs of description, it’ll massively slow down your dialogue. It will also indicate pauses in dialogue to the reader, so unless your characters are taking their sweet time to answer for whatever reason, keeping that shit at a rapid pace will make it read as more natural.

Dialogue is probably the easiest way to show how characters relate and react to each other. By focusing on their appearances or surroundings, you will take the focus away from what they’re actually saying.

Example: You don’t watch your friend brush their hair for a solid minute before you respond to their question, right? If you describe a character brushing their hair before your protag responds, that’s what it’ll read as, so know when to describe and when not to.

Sometimes you genuinely don’t know what to answer, though. If your character describes something in detail in the middle of a conversation, it could indicate that they aren’t quite “there” and are distracted. If they instead start an internal monologue, it could mean that they’re thinking hard about their answer before responding.

Also, if you’ve properly established a character as, for example, having anger issues, showing us how his veins pop and he throws his arms around while screaming every time he gets angry will do nothing and give us no new information. Telling us he was pissed will be enough to know how he expresses it. If the reader has enough background info already, they’ll be able to interpret how the character is saying something just based on what they’re saying. 

Show don’t tell is good, but it’s not a law and will never be. Sometimes you have to tell things. If you wanted to show people your story, you’d just draw it or make a comic, right? But you’re not, you’re writing. You can’t avoid telling, because you’re telling a story.

Show don’t tell is often misinterpreted by writers as “use four paragraphs when five words would convey the same information”. Using more words to describe something indicates that it’s important, because you draw the reader’s attention to it by using up their time on this description. 

Example: If you describe a character’s death with the same amount of words as you describe another character sitting down on a chair, either that death won’t be quite as impactful, or that’s a really intense chair. 

Wikipedia’s article on Show Don’t Tell: “The goal is not to drown the reader in heavy-handed adjectives, but rather to allow readers to interpret significant details in the text.” Significant details. Meaning: try not to waste your showing on shit that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Because when you show actually important things, they won’t be seen as quite as important, because everything else so far has been described the same way.

People read because their imagination does half the job for them. Don’t remove that aspect from your writing by describing things that may not need to be described. Sometimes what we don’t see is what’s more interesting. Let the audience fill in the blanks.

Nothing is off-limits. Nothing is “wrong”. Writing is an art. Learning how and when to use specific tools and words, understanding their effects and how they work together, is what will make you a stronger writer.
