My GIF making process!

I’ve been asked many times for a tutorial, but because I get really detailed, I always get overwhelmed by the idea. But I finally decided to buckle down! 

Just so you know: I don’t use PSDs in this, and I don’t import layers to frames or anything like that. I like the hard way—at least in gif making, I believe you get higher quality gifs. Join me as I show you how to make gifs by loading videos directly into the Photoshop timeline and my coloring and sharpening techniques.

Tools used:

Mac OS X (only necessary for the first step, and there are other ways around it with a PC)

Adobe Photoshop

YouTube Purchases (any streaming service will work)

Topics covered:

Obtaining the Source Material

Loading the video file into Photoshop

Prepping, Cropping, and Resizing the Media

Adjustment Layers

Sharpening

Exporting

SatoSugu Valentines Week

Hello and welcome to our SatoSugu-Valentines-Week interest check! Said week is supposed to be dedicated to Getou and Gojou as a ship in any form/way/dynamic that you like, and we hope to garner some interest for this event. If there is enough interest, it will be a 7-days-event. The 14th Feb will be a free day/Valentines day. You can vote for prompts (down) for 5 days (each day will have 2 prompts). For the 6th day, you may suggest a prompt yourself - if several people suggest the same prompts, we will choose them accordingly. If there's enough variety, we will open a poll for you to choose. NSFW content may be created as long as you tag it properly. The interest check will close on Dec 30th, 11:59pm (UTC-5). tumblr: https://satosugu-week.tumblr.com/ twitter: https://twitter.com/SatosuguW

Hey, guys! So, I’ve been thinking about organizing a SatoSugu week around Valentines Day - if there’s enough interest for such an event, that is. It would be great if you could fill out the interest check above, it shouldn’t take long!

The interest check will run until Dec 30th.

Future updates and news will be posted on @satosugu-week (which is still a new blog so it might take time for it to appear in the search function/ for posts to appear in the tags).

Also, since I’m not that active on twitter myself, I would appreciate a shout-out over there too! (twitter: @SatosuguW, just posted the interest check there as well!) 

i've said this before but it bears repeating: a concerning amount of information circulating on this website about islam directed towards non-muslims comes from conservative sources and paints a very specific and narrow image of an extremely diverse religion. outsiders have this fictitious understanding of a monolithic islam, and somehow it is always the most dogmatic and overzealous and inflexible version of religion they can think of.

the reality of things is that like with all organized religion, there are muslims who are very strict in their practices and interpretations, and there are people who were born in muslim families and are influenced by islamic culture but are not religious, and there is a whole spectrum of beliefs in between these two extremes. this isn't even touching on the matter of different sects and ethno-cultural divergences.

i don't like making direct comparisons, but this is the language most anglophone westerners understand: if all the information about christianity you received was from evangelicals, you would have an incredibly biased conception of the daily life and beliefs of the average christian. you would also have an extremely problematic understanding of christian dogma - and i do mean problematic here as in something that causes problems, something that has harmful consequences. i understand and appreciate that people are usually walking on eggshells when handling issues of marginalized and stigmatized religions, but let's be bluntly open for a second: all organized religions have extremist ideological currents whose tenets directly contradict core progressive and liberatory ideas. accepting those tenets as valid and respectable in the name of battling bigotry is counterproductive and reverberates badly first and foremost on minorities.

the uncritical propagation of conservative (and sometimes straight up fundamentalist) conceptions of islam among non-muslims, especially in fandom/creative spaces that are concerned with political correctness and a genuine will for accurate and respectful representation, feeds a vicious cycle of insidious islamophobia: supposedly progressive depictions of muslims confirm the previously internalized bias that all muslims are indeed Like This, and said bias is what makes people swallow literal wahhabi propaganda without blinking in the first place, rinse and repeat.

this point of this post is not to embolden white people to start commenting on intra-community issues; rather it is a plea for people to be a little bit more critical, a little bit more analytically active in their consumption of information. may i suggest, accessorily, interacting with muslims in other contexts than just uhhh "learning". none of my white friends pull this shit, mostly because they have hung out with us enough to internalize the notion that we are... human beings, with a vast array of political and spiritual beliefs.

Episode 17: Yes, I’m still occasionally doing this when I can make myself scrap some time out, lmao. But the episode was so stunning, it deserves a few words!

I think the thing standing out the most in this episode, whether we look at Nobara vs. Momo or Maki vs. Mai, is that: none of them is wrong.

Poor Miwa, lmao. Mai really set her up like this because she’s too prideful to admit out aloud how strong Maki actually is T_T
