#tutorial list

[ixellent]

Making a little collection post about these things that have helped me since the supply chain got fucked up really bad and also just in general! A lot of these are YT videos but some have supplementals I’ve added. DON’T WAIT until you need something to learn how to do it if you can avoid it. But this is not a list of “apocalyptic how-to’s”, we aren’t learning to make paper from scratch or sew our own clothes, we can’t all can our own veggies (and canning materials are short anyway), this is a list of depression-era-style fixes and right-to-repair concepts!

I know a lot of people who just can’t be assed to fix anything and that’s fine because then I get to have it and I do want to fix it. 

Bonus Negotiating tip for "getting to yes” on FB marketplace: say “thanks in advance, God bless” at the end of your initial message. Don’t forget to capitalize God. 😉 ● How to Darn Socks by Last Minute Laura - I want to add to this that it’s okay if you don’t do this perfectly or if it seems ugly when you’re finished, it’s probably still going to work fine! Embroidery needles and thread (sometimes in the form of a kit) are EASY to find at thrift stores, and especially used art supply stores. Related: 50 Hand Embroidery Stitches by Handiworks ● Simple Guide to Electronic Components and Soldering Basics by BigClive - Soldering is so so so handy to have some basic knowledge and skill in. I use it to do Gameboy mod kits but it also helped me feel confident in replacing little burnt out fuses, capacitors, etc. If I could have found a replacement relay I would have fixed my kettle! Pick up a multimeter if you can! Learn to use it! Related:  Soldering Is Easy comic by MightyOhm, and pretty much any Nintendo repair video, I recommend starting out on doing a simple shell swap or a gameboy IPS kit and going from there when it comes to electronics. Do not do a Joycon shell or a DS first.

● How to Replace an iPhone SE Screen by JerryRigEverything - There are a ton of videos or written tutorials for almost models of devices. I put this not because no one has ever heard of replacing your phone screen (lol) but because it is increasingly difficult to repair devices and with EXACTLY the right parts.You will often have to find your year model or even serial number and then do research on which parts are compatible/behave - usually someone will already have done the legwork so you’re like “aha this is the battery that will work in my 1st gen Paperwhite ereader”. Many phones and devices have pain in the ass adhesives so you “can’t” fix them. Do yourself a favor and get a good, plastic safe spudger and prying tools. Related: iFixit kits which are better than ever, Jailbreaking with Hexxa Plus ● Fix a KitchenAid Mixer that isn’t Spinning by ereplacementparts - I bring in this one because sometimes a scary, seemingly broken expensive item can be bought for very little and fixed very easily. There’s a YT video for like EVERYTHING. You will quickly learn to recognize how things GET broken and what their most likely problem is. I buy “untested” vintage point and shoot cameras all the time and usually they literally just need a new battery lol. Lots of things just need cleaned or need new grease or something, or have a broken trace/burnt fuse/broken plastics etc. See Soldering above. ● Oil Change on a TW200 by tdubskid - This is just to stand in as an example of some regular maintenance and familiarity with your vehicles. Not everything is as easy as a good ol’ Tdub but it’s worth getting the owner’s AND service manual for your vehicles so you can at least take care of it well so that it needs LESS maintenance and know when it is need of maintenance and how urgent it is even if you cannot perform it yourself. Plus, again, tons of YT videos and forum threads. Note: I highly recommend that if your vehicle is under warranty of any kind you don’t do your own oil changes/service or get service anywhere except certified dealerships until that warranty expires. Related: How to Change a Tire (plus jacking it up) by Chrisfix (this is a great full walkthrough! I KNOW most people have never done this - and check your spare once in awhile too)

● Learn to use hand tools and power tools safely. Go ask a family member or a friend to show you how to use them, I’m sure anyone who has them would LOVE to help you and show you what they’re working on. Get a manual impact philips screwdriver and a regular old rubber mallet and thank me later. See if someone’s grandpa is getting rid of their extra wrenches and sockets. Pick up cheap name brand power tools and their accompanying (watch the voltage) batteries and chargers when you can. People will act like you have to “pick a system” and have all one brand but who gives a fuck dude, I don’t. Get a little metal/wood hacksaw and a metal/wood file. Get safety goggles and some coated grip work gloves. Get a cheap soldering iron and some lead-free solder wire (and a fan lol.) Get a set of torx bits/drivers. Don’t be afraid to ask people how to do things. Give away or sell your tools when you don’t use them anymore. Last one but this is very important: Put stickers all over your toolboxes!

[aelswiths]

First of all, thank you for even being willing to share and take the time to put together a list of tutorials! <33 I don’t think I’d ever be able to make such crisp and high quality gifs as you but I’d love to learn where to start! Thank you again! 🥹 <3

Aww anon of course!! I'm always happy to see people getting into gifmaking, especially in our fandom!

As promised here is my list of tutorials. These were crucial for me when I was first starting out, but there are so many tutorials that you can find by just searching "gif tutorial". The gif maker community does a great job of sharing information.

List under the cut to save space

What I used when first starting out:

This tutorial is the one I used to help me set up mpv on my computer. This is the best tutorial on how to set up mpv and how to use it to make gifs.

This tutorial by cal-kestis was the first I used in learning how to make gifs, it was an excellent guide and really helped me learn how to make gifs.

The blog Usergif is probably the best resource for all things gif. It has literally every tutorial known to man, from basic gif making to complex blending, you name it they've got it. It's my go to blog when I want to learn something. This is the link to the directory for all of their tutorials, I use it so much I actually have this page bookmarked

The following tutorials I looked at after I learned how to make gifs and was trying to see what other cool things I could do:

redbelles - full gifmaking tutorial, from getting footage to coloring to posting, really great tutorial. This is a 10/10 guide for learning how to gif, I put it down here because I didn't come across it until after I had learned how to gif.

thorodinsson - gifmaking tutorial, this focuses more on cropping, sharpening, and basic coloring techniques. Its really good for beginners.

haleths - sharpening tutorial, this was key to helping me when I was first starting

magnusedom - coloring tutorial, I used this a lot when I was first learning how to color. Does a great job of explaining how you can use curve layers to really change the coloring of a scene. Once I learned that it really changed how I colored

usergif - coloring tutorial, I used this a lot when I was first trying to learn how to do more complex coloring manipulation

aubrey-plaza - channel mixer tutorial, this does a really great job of explaining how to use the channel mixer. It does take time to figure it out but its super powerful once you do

And that concludes my list. There are definitely more tutorials that I have used, but the ones I've mentioned are without a doubt the ones that have been key in learning how to gif. If you have any questions feel free to send another ask or you can dm me directly :)

Your gifsets are amazing. I'm just beginning to make them and it's so hard, I'm in awe of everything you make. I was just wondering how you make the multiple-faded animations on one image. I've been looking everywhere online and I can't find a tutorial. Even a link would be a huge help, if you don't want to be bothered. Thanks!

Aww, thank you so much, love <333

Actually there are different methods people use to get that effect, so here is a list of tutorials I found:

1. multiple GIFs in a file

2. GIF manip tutorial

3. layered GIF tutorial

4. tutorial: overlay GIFs

5. layered GIF (using gradient /brush tools)

I kind of use a mixture of all these, but it depends on the GIF really ;)))

Hey hey do you happen to have or know of a pattern to make halo helmets? Im hoping to make one for rtx but i can never find a good tutorial

The best way to go is pepakura, at least for me that is. There is a whole forum on Halo helmets and armor. You can look here for the Forum or here for the Wiki that has a huge list for these you will need to download The Viewer breaks down the file and lets you print it out. That only works on PC though, if you have a mac you’ll need to use another way to get it, This Video shows you how to get it for Mac.

For how to like harden and paint it This Video and This Video do pretty alright jobs at it, It’s more talking about how it works and what to do rather than showing though. 

queenscoronet also has a really good tutorial on how she’s doing her RVB helmets:

Part 1

Part 2

ohicosplay also has a good Begining Pepakura Guide , it’s not Halo specifically but it can help you

There is this Video Tutorial on how to fold and put together Pepakura also.

These are just a few of the references I have since i’m working on my own armor cosplay, I hope it helps you out and good luck on your cosplay!

For the past few days, I've been making my way through this trick list.

It's been super useful for figuring out tricks that I've seen but don't know the name of. It's also great for discovering totally new things. 

I definitely recommend it :)
