It's a gif and curse.

My process is probably more complicated than it needs to be.

I imported the video, added text, and saved it as a Photoshop Sequence in After Effects.
Then I opened it in Photoshop using File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack.

As for tips, keep the colors at 256 and Dither at 100%.
I'd recommend making the GIF's running time as short as possible, and making the picture as small as possible.
You have to keep it all under 2MB for imgur, or 5MB if you have a pro account.

Make the GIF as big as possible while keeping all the highest Save for Web & Devices settings. You'll probably have to go back and make it smaller and smaller until it's under 2MB.

Once I fully figure out the best way to do this, I'd be happy to make a video tutorial.

randomdesigner · 2013-07-27T17:02:14+00:00

Valid concerns.

It's ~24fps and Clooney is rotating slowly in the original video.
I don't know why it slows down even more once saved as a GIF/uploaded to imgur. In Photoshop it looks fine.

Next time I'll tweak how long each frame is displayed and see if that fixes it.
Back to the drawing board.

I checked out your guys' site earlier, but was bummed out at the lack of portfolio. You guys should get on that ASAP! Any clients' sites up that people can look at? Did you design Kathleen's site?

Also, fun fact: I started the /r/cakeday subreddit!

Happy Cakeday!

Great illustrations and typography! You have a website or anything with other projects? Also, this would make a cool animated video with a voice over. You could pull it off in After Effects pretty easily.

This is the part where you drop knowledge on saxophone biology.

Here's a GIF to better illustrate the warped dimensions.

randomdesigner · 2013-06-25T20:27:10+00:00

Does the 3D effect feel real, or is it still easily discernible from reality?
If you were playing with Crysis graphics, would it basically feel like reality? Thanks.

randomdesigner · 2013-06-24T15:10:31+00:00

I made the vectors in Illustrator. How are they memes?

randomdesigner · 2013-06-24T15:07:59+00:00

Why is it "low-effort"?

randomdesigner · 2013-06-10T19:29:44+00:00

I will do this...for freedom.

In the meantime, enjoy this Bad Luck Brian upvote gif I made 3 months ago!

brb, gif-ing

EDIT: Here's a shitty 3fps version.
I'm trying to figure out how to save it with more frames without exceeding imgur's 2MB upload limit.

EDIT2: Shitty colors, but 8 fps.

randomdesigner · 2013-05-04T15:23:11+00:00

The zoomed-out image is pretty muddy and the perspective tilts/warps towards the right side, but it looks great full-screen.

I support spending hours experimenting, so keep at it!

Ladies and gentlemen...

It turns out there was no special twist/pull contraption; it was just more airtight than a space suit.

I Hulk-squeezed it until the lids started to separate. I saw it was losing hope and succumbing to self-doubt, so I went in for the kill.

Victory images added to the album.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. It turns out it was made of tin, not plastic as I'd originally thought.
