Nessie | 20 | She/her | FNAF side blog, Chucky posting is in hiatus until season 2 drops. MAIN BLOG IS NESSIE665. AO3 USERNAME IS Nessie555, you may have read my story ''You are vulnerable (you are not a robot)'' there, don't forget to say hi!
I think part of the problem with Edward (apart from the control issues and being in a relationship with a child) is that we never get to know more about him from when he was human.
We don't even know what his eye color was, and believe me, I looked!
I just keep having these scenes in my head where Edythe and Bella are talking about her past and what she was like before she was turned. Maybe she has an old picture of herself from before? Maybe she has some from the 30's, the 60's???
So here's Edythe in like 1917ish based on some fashion plates!
Chucky fans, what is your least favorite thing they've done with the series?
For me its the split souls thing. Was literally an ass pull and felt like a way to give Chucky even more plot armor. 😭 Like the man is already borderline invincible come onnn.
were u ever like gahd these camerapeople again making yet another stage ungiffable. yeah me too.
sooo here in this tutorial i'm gonna try to explain how to pan gifs so ur subject can remain centered or at least not be out of frame, sth like this:
this is a more advanced tutorial, in a sense that i'll assume you know how to make gifs, not in a sense that this is complicated lmao, okay let's gooo:
essentially this is what's happening and what we gonna do:
before we dive into the how tho, it must be said that photoshop's timeline can only do linear movements so no easing. at times it can look unnatural or choppy or... frankly both. (if you want to know more about this look up ease-in-out animation curve, or easing curves)
part 01 · prepping gifs
as i wrote in my gif making process post i usually crop my gifs bigger than they usually will be. e.g. a 268px gif will be cropped to anything between 468-540px. sometimes because i want to have the opportunity to position the gif a bit differently but most of the time because i know 268px is a reeeaaalllyyy tight place and i need to make some movement adjustments especially for weekend music shows where the camerapeople seem to be on crack or just very into experimenting
part 02 · let the keyframe madness begin
whichever way you are making gifs just open up your gif and crop it to the final size, colour it and whatever else you fancy. once you have everything ready just open your video layer on your timeline (if you don't know where you will be able to see it in the video later)
you will see 3 tracks, transform, opacity and style. for this we will use the transform because it contains movements (but also resizing if that's what you fancy).
all we need to do is create keyframes which will define what is the position of the video layer at a certain time. so e.g. here we are moving this box to the right by 50px in 1 second.
to create keyframes click on the timer icon in front of the position label and photoshop will create you one. the active one will always be yellow. if you move on the timeline with your playhead (that thing that is moving) and you resize/move your layer photoshop will create yet another keyframe for you without you needing to click on it, because it will recognise the change. so all you need to figure out is when the movement starts and which position your layer should be, and the same for the end and ps will take care of the rest.
part 03 · some things to consider when panning gifs
now this is the part where it gets subjective and less tutorial like. so all i can provide is some explanation how i go about it and what i pay attention to.
tip #1: match the movement speed to the gif
whenever you are panning a gif it may result in the gif being choppy bc the framerate and your movements are not matching up, so it's either too fast and photoshop needs to move your image by too many pixels frame by frame or it's too slow resulting in basically the same thing but kinda reversed, either way it won't look smooth. this mostly happens when the original footage is moving (there is a quick camera pan/movement) and you are trying to keep it in place, less when the original is kinda still and the subject is moving. this is kind of a trial and error process: try moving your keyframes closer to each other or maybe further, add more/less movement between two keyframes and just see which results in a smoother gif.
tip #2: try moving your gif once in one direction
there are times when your subject might go out of frame multiple times and you have the urge to keyframe the whole gif and keep them in center the whole time. however, as we do not have easing curves in photoshop the switch between moving something from one direction to the other one will be very visible. so try placing your subject in a way that you'll only need to make one movement and it's kinda okay all the way thru or pick the most annoying 'placement' you want to correct. here in this example it mostly bugged me that the gif was not centered at the end, but onda kinda remained in frame.
tip #3: pan your gifs when there is a quick zoom/movement
sometimes whatever i do the gif will look choppy regardless one movement or not. in these moments, and these moments ONLY we can be thankful for the sometimes unnecessary zooming that's happening and reposition our gifs while the zooming is happening. since there is already a drastic movement you can get away with basically anything, as long as you time the beginning and the end where the zoom begins and ends. also i must add that you can pan stage gifs way more and more drastically bc there is a lot of things happening in the background, so adding a bit of movement on top of all the other movements is less noticeable than... moving footage where e.g. the background is static.
✨something extra✨ · panning/moving other things
so what we looked at is moving the whole gif to fit into the frame we have, but with this technique obviously you can move all sorts of stuff, text, texture whatever you fancy. you can apply this process to the layer you wanna move and this is when you get these:
a sidenote: the fade effect is literally the same keyframe business but instead of playing with position keyframes you change the opacity keyframes.
aaand that is all, if you have any questions my askbox is always open so hmu <3
tagging @sanhwalynight bc of requesting reasons hehe
Hi can I ask what your sharpening settings are? Ofc of its not a bother for you , your gifs look so crisp and hd , it’s amazing
ahhh thank you so much!! here's a little mini tutorial of how i do my sharpening:
(disclaimer: i always gif in 1080p or higher, and i always download the largest file i can find! that goes a long way when it comes to making gifs look as sharp as possible)
1. start out with smart sharpen:
2. hit it with smart sharpen again with the following settings:
these are pretty standard sharpening settings that most gifmakers use. they'll get you to this:
perfectly fine, and depending on the quality of the footage you have you can probably stop there! BUT i like to add in a little extra *~*pizzazz*~* with a round of high pass:
3. go to filter > other > high pass
you can set it to anywhere between 2.5 and 5 depending on your personal preference. 4 is my standard setting:
4. right click "high pass" on your layers tab and select "edit smart filter blending options." then change "normal" to "soft light" and hit ok.
and voila!
you certainly don't have to use high pass if you don't want to, and i know some people prefer a smoother looking gif. but i've been using it for a while and i love the dimension and added sharpness it gives to the gif!
i also recommend recording an action for this process as it can be really time consuming without one! feel free to dm me if you have any questions :)
Here's my take: Gregory and Freddy are not in the pizzaplex, hell Vanessa may also not be in the pizzaplex either, whatever we left down there is just mimicking Greg's voice to attract a new victim (his sister? His friend? We don't know) and maybe even replace the role Vanny fulfilled as a follower.
omg i completely forgot I had this blog, but anyways the fifth chapter of my Vanessa's fanfiction is done and up in ao3
we have Bonnie being the most worried dad ever, and Nessa tying to pull out a Michael Afton trying to purge glitchtrap from her body, arson, and fire included obviously
Unfortunately, when a lot of fans dunk on a character for reasons I find silly, especially if they willfully misread the text to do so, the fandom punching bag then becomes my favorite character. I could have liked them a normal amount, but the constant bad takes annoyed me and now I am unstoppable.
If you want to see Freddy being a father of two, check out Star-Going-Supernova’s Siblings AU on AO3. I have a sneaking suspicion you won’t be disappointed.
ohhh thank you for the rec!
I read it super quick the other day and i loved it. it's been on my mind ever since bc I was on a rush and did not have time to tell the author how much i liked, I have been planning my review all day, we'will get there xd
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an ask, <3
and if any of you have another fic you think I may like, leave it on my mailbox, especially if it's your own fanficion, I would love to hype all of you precious fanfic writers here
And through my red eyes, you look pale
All of your scars now looking more like scales
Two ugly creatures, two sinister preachers
Blind to the past, like a couple of monsters
Just a couple of monsters
if you happen to be following me for my Vanessa fanfic, i wanted to say, it's still going, i have little to no time right now bc of finals, but after we are done we are gonna be right back
