I stated in my introduction that I can make a pretty good GIF file. Here's where you can request GIFs from me. Give me all the details you can, but if you have the whole thing already planned out, give me an e-mail instead. What I need, bare minimum, is the images you basically want (In the case of Hellsing, you'd probably ask for some shots of Alucard or Integra, if you wanted a character-based animation), size, and if there is some memory size restriction, let me know that, too. I'm operating in the order of my own discresion, basically doing easy ones if I have little time, and more complicated ones if I have a bit more time (and know what I'm doing). It might take me a bit of time to finish them, but be patient, and all will be well. Note: Downloading Anime, for me, is not possible. If you want images from a show, I'll have to use YouTube or similar to get them. The more you know about the images you want (like which episode is best), the easier it will be for me to build the GIF. |

Hey, I just posted on your indroduction thread. I would like to request a GIF that is from the category Angel Sanctuary. I don't have a certain image. Any would do fine, but remember not to put any ecchi stuff. |

1) 'Category'? I'm I correct to assume that Angel Sanctuary is an anime? I've never heard of it. 2) Ecchi stuff, risque stuff, yeah? Basically keep it clean? |

| I'll have to look into those two anime for to get the right feel for those characters. I haven't personally seen either of those anime. Actually, my experience with anime is rather limited. I'll start looking up Naruto and Ayashi no Ceres today. |

Cowboy Bebop I can do, as I'm watching it now. Never seen Wolf's Rain, so I'll have to get back to you. Vincent will take some time, but I already know exactly what to do. As to Cowboy Bebop, any themes you want me to work with? Tank! for instance? All four characters, or do you have a preference there? AH! I keep thinking of questions. Prefered Width? I assume you want this 100 tall. FEK! Four Edits! Cowboy Bebop and Vincent I'll probably have finished tomorrow, I have the whole day to myself and nothing whatsoever to do. I'll have to watch many episodes of Wolf's Rain to get an idea. |

Photoshop/Imageready. Everything else is creativity. At least on the version I have (6), it's kinda retarded. Imageready can do everything that Photoshop can except manipulate pictures, or save them. Photoshop can do everything that Imageready can do except create animated pictures. Why they had to be two separate huge programs that do nearly the same thing is well beyond me. I should mention here that Imageready doesn't save GIFs, either. You have to see the sample (click on the Internet Explorer symbol on the toolbar), then just save the playing GIF like you would a picture you found online. You have to be familiar with terminology for Imageready (at the very least, know what frames and layers are), but basically you have to figure it out on your own, that's how I did it. If you see something screwed up, investigate it. Basically, you just have a shitload of pictures (each one its own layer), and choose which ones are visible on each frame. I use paint to cut them from animations. Play/Pause film(if you want a series of consecutive frames, you have to be FAST) Print screen Paste in paint Cut out desired shot (if from a consecutive series, cut should match for consistancy, this is a pain.) Save (I keep all shots for one particular GIF in the same folder) Repeat Once you have the desired shots, mess around with them in Photoshop to get the look you want (I commonly get rid of backgrounds this way, this is a pain, lots of cleanup and editing at the pixel level) Somebody else have a different method, TELL ME!!!! I HATE DOING IT THIS WAY! |

thank you for laying it all out so meticulously! it looks clear and simple enough for me to replicate! as for it being easier, im sure it can be, but it must not be that much easier im sure, or else everyone would be making gifs!

| No, it isn't easy, it's rather meticulous as hell. An animation running about 10 seconds (a semi-simplistic one) would probably take an hour to build. |

| Update: Working on Vincent GIF now... and it's pissing the hell out of me. Given the huge nature of the tape (yes, I found Advent Children on YouTube), I can't start/stop the damn thing fast enough to get good frame-by-frame shots. |

gosh, golly, gee! well, I didnt mean it would be simply made quickly. Of course, a great deal of time and effort would be invested nonetheless in such creative and technical endeavors. Good luck in enjoying the fruits of your labor!

you can save gifs on imageready. i don't know if 7 is any different from 6, because i have 7, but i certainly can save gifs. if you have the option, instead of picking "save as" pick "save optimized as." p.s. and please don't double post. just edit your posts by picking the modify option.     |

OH! That's what that does. Hmm. *shrugs* Oh well, I like seeing what the end result is in a test run, anyway. EDIT: Due to recent circumstances, the likelyhood of me working throuroughly on any GIF is low for quite some time. I _will_ however get them all done in due time, especially the ones to which I'm already privy to the anime information. Sorry for any inconvenience. Then again, I might be working unendingly on them to get my mind off of things *shrugs* who knows? |

Thank you soooo much! Take as much time as you need. Any Vincent one would be good. And for Cowboy Bebop, any of Spike's fights or Edward's srange expressions or shots from a funny episode (eg the one with the fridge and all the crew floating around). ^ ^ I'll be waiting here. So if you come here, you'll find me... I promise. |

Heh, your's might be done sooner than you think. I already have several sequential shots of Vincent, plus a really nice, big drawing that I'll likely incorperate. Maybe a border, some text, and a theme. Like a montage, really. Fairly huge. I'll work on that Cowboy Bebop one soon. I can get a couple small ones, with Spike's fights (a few expressions, too, like when Jet tosses his boxers his way, or when he bites a hard chunk of meat in Toys in the Attic). Then one of a few shots of Edward dancing around doing wierd shit with wierd faces. I could probably get a lot from Jamming with Edward. EDIT: *sighs* I thought I finally got rid of those pesky little fickle size restrictions!!!! Ah well, I'll figure out something. Vincent is going to be a LOT smaller, and Edward and Spike will probably end up choppy. I can do something decent with 100k, I suppose. |

Sounds great! =D lol @ Jet's boxer shot. For fighting scene, Spike as a cleaner guy (in the cowboy bebop movie) would be good. I'll be waiting here. So if you come here, you'll find me... I promise. |

Otaku - I don't know what you mean. Shasti - Haven't got access to the movie, I'm using streaming video for every anime I watch, as its the only way I can view any of it. |
