٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡ happy talk shop tuesday! do you think gifmaking has changed how you watch shoes/movies? if so, how?

(bonus follow-up question: are these any shows/movies that you've purposely not watched bc you just don't have the bandwidth to get into it and gif it? bc i def felt that when i was gifmaking hehe)

happy talk shop tuesday! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

absolutely yeah, gifmaker gaze is a thing i swear it's impossible to watch a show or a movie without thinking "oh that would make a pretty gif" or, more often, "that would be hell to color". and it's not even that i do anything with it, it's just something i can't help but notice lmao

(bonus follow-up answer: yes ahah, another absolutely for this one. definitely haven't started sword snow stride for this exact reason and more "recently" i think my journey to you, story of kunning palace, and mysterious lotus casebook)

happy talk shop tuesday!! (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈) and a lil bonus boop bc why not :3 i'm throwing your question right back at you bc 1) it's a very good question and 2) the 🫵 at me made me laugh so hard dsjaksjdfdsfgsfa

how do 🫵 you keep yourself motivated while working on gifsets/writing/projects? esp gifsets, since we all know how interaction with that kind of art has really dipped on tumblr in recent years ://

bonus boop back to you too <3 <3

as for the questions, please do not point at me like that. it's rude, idek where you got it from. so you better stop. no, seriously. quit it 🫵

i think as for motivation it's actually quite hard for me, the whole making gifs process is agony, i'm not going to lie. i often have a much more complex idea in my mind for any given set, and the combination of 1) knowing it most definitely won't end up looking like i imagine it and 2) whatever it ends up looking like it will most likely flop, doesn't really help, but.... i almost don't have a choice?

i just really want for it to exist and share it, whatever the idea is, however it comes out looking like. so it might take me ages, but even the simple thought of "it's such a good quote" or "but it fits so perfectly!" or "it would look so nice/cool/angsty" ends up being enough for me to get it done. yes it takes months, and yes i often end up making most of the content for a fandom long after it has had its peak in popularity (which does not help with the reblogging problem lmao) but what am i going to do?

the alternative is not make gifs, after all

talk shop tuesday!! (´꒳`)♡ what do you look for when making a giftset? do you think more in terms of a theme (siblings, parallels, quote connections, etc.) or do the visual aspects of a scene (lighting, coloring, framing) inspire you more?

mhhh, i think for most of my gifsets it starts with a theme and then i have to hope that the scenes i think will fit that specific theme aren't going to be a pain to match among themselves or color

for example with quotes especially, i tend to read a line and almost immediately associate it with a particular moment and so it often happens that i just have to adapt to whatever the scene is like in terms of visual aspects, if that makes sense? my colorings are pretty simple so that's not a big concern, but say size and aspect ratio i just let however the scene is shot guide me and hope it works for each gif if they're from different moments.

i feel like for parallels too, at the end of the day my hands are a bit tied by the source material, after all it's not that i can reshoot scenes myself (lmao i wish)

so yeah, i think the idea/theme comes first and then i do what i can with what i have 🙏💌
