VENUS’ GUIDE ON HOW NOT TO WHITEWASH

STEP NO. 1    ━━    DON’T WHITEWASH !   yes it’s that simple ,  just  don’t !    IT’S 2K19 FOR GOD’S SAKE .            don’t whitewash poc with the way you’re writing them ,  don’t use an psd  that will whitewash poc .

✿     CHOOSING TO WRITE A POC MUSE?    do your research ,   find out as much as you can about their heritage ,  their culture ,  their values .   this is not a suggestion ,   IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY .    JUST TRY GOOGLE ,   it’s free & easy af

✿      CHOOSING A FACE CLAIM AT RANDOM ?    do your  research ,    it takes like two seconds google ‘ faceclaim name ethnicity ‘    &  you’ll know if your faceclaim of choice is a person of color or not .     WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT ?    well ,  FIRSTLY ,   it’ll give you pointers on how to write them .   SECONDLY ,   it’ll tell you if u can use the neon pink & white psd you’re currently nuttin’ over on your face claim’s sweet face.   

STEP NO. 2    ━━    FEEL LIKE ARGUING WITH THE PERSON TELLING YOU YOU’RE WHITEWASHING YOUR MUSE ?             JUST PLEASE DON’T .

don’t be rude ,  don’t be passive aggressive ,  just politely own up to your mistake ,  & work hard to rectify it as soon as possible. 

WHAT ELSE YOU SHOULDN’T DO?  MAKE THE FOLLOWING EXCUSES  ━

✿      “OH MY MUSE LOOKS WHITE, I DIDN’T REALISE.”       NO .   like i said ,   do your Research PLEASE.    poc come in all shades ,  a lot of them can be white passing .   but that still doesn’t give you the right to cast them as white nor can their light skin tone be used as an excuse to use a fancy psd that makes them look like casper the ghost. 

✿       “OH I COULDN’T FIND A POC FRIENDLY PSD.”        NO, JUST NO.  YOUR INTENSE DESIRE TO HAVE A FANCY SCHMANCY PSD  doesn’t trump your   RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT  & UPHOLD  FACE CLAIM’S IDENTITY & ETHNICITY .   like if worse comes to worse, you can just use plain icons .      ALSO  IT’S 2K19 , STOP SAYING  “OH ALL THE POC PSDS ARE BEHIND A PAY WALL”    it doesn’t just make you sound entitled ,    it’s incredibly hurtful to people who are generous enough to make & post resources for free?       commissions blogs just started popping up like last year, & i don’t think there are more than 50 of us out there.    there are literally so many free bomb af poc friendlly psds out there these days, even i have a free one out that works on all skintones ?   not to mention thousands of rph’s / tutorial posts / photoshop blogs  that will  help you learn how to make a psd yourself .        

HELPFUL LINKS :  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x     i found these after a quick search ,  but there’s a lot more out there.

✿      “ OH , YOUR SCREEN MUST BE TOO DESATURATED , IT LOOKS FINE ON MY END !”       this ,  frankly can be a valid excuse 0.9 %  of the time but isn’t usually.   IT CAN BE AVOIDED THOUGH,  all u need to do is ask a couple of your friends to look at a few images of your fc with the psd applied on different devices.   YES IT’S JUST AS SIMPLE AS THAT.                     also,  be polite ,   there’s no need to act like a smug bum when this is an issue , the person might be genuinely UPSET if they came to you in the first place & their feelings are valid !               ALSO, 99.1% OF THE TIME YOU’RE JUST LYING & USING THIS EXCUSE AS AN EASY WAY OUT ,    WE CAN TELL LMAO.

I think you've already talked about this before but I couldn't find the post on your Tumblr, so I was just wondering what your process was for making animated gifs. Like what methods you use to make them, what software you use, etc? Also, what parts do you find most fun or difficult or challenging? I've started making some animated gis, and while I don't know if I'll ever be nearly as prolific as you are, I was interested in learning more about them.

Oh hey! Thank you!! I don’t think I’ve ever gone through the process of how I make gifs in detail before, mainly because I don’t use Photoshop so I just assume my advice won’t be helpful to anybody. I don’t know how helpful this will be to you, but I’ve done a little step by step walkthrough of how I make a gif with a few general pointers thrown in. I was gonna try and keep it brief but it turned out much longer…..sorry.

I’ve put what I find most difficult and fun at the end, so you can just skip to that if you want.

As for the rest, here goes….

So, background: I taught myself how to make gifs using Serif Photoplus X2 because we used their products in highschool. Then a few years later, I updated to Photoplus X7 (made hardly any difference though). Serif doesn’t even make the Photoplus range anymore (they still sell X8 but it’s rubbish and crashes a lot, and their new product Affinity doesn’t even let you make gifs!). I’ve tried to use Photoshop in the past and everyone says it’s better, but I’m stuck in my ways like the stubborn old woman I am.

Anyways, when I want to make a gif I start off by capturing screenshots for the frames. I’ve always used GOM Player and their “Burst Capture” option to do this. GOM Player lets you choose the format your images are saved as and where you want the frames saved to. I have a special “captures” folder for temporarily storing the files in. So for example, these are my frames:

A good general tip for making gifs with any software is to use the best quality video you can find. Most of the stuff I make is with 1080p or 720p quality. I find it helps when it comes to colouring and making the gif look clearer.

Once I have my captures, I copy them into my animation “canvas” (or SPP file) which has a base colouring I’ve already made on it. It’s kind of like a PSD on Photoshop. I select my captures and drag them onto the canvas which looks like this:

The canvas is 1080p, the same as the captures but everything will be resized later. I originally captured 100 screenshots here, but I’ve decided to use only 40 in the end because I want to make a 540px width gif. If I used all 100 frames for a 540px gif it would end up being way over the 3mb limit and it wouldn’t work on Tumblr.

Now this is where the time consuming work comes in for me. Once my captures have been copied into the SPP file, they actually become layers which I have to turn into gif frames (if that makes sense). So at the moment they look like this

But I don’t have any actual frames yet at the bottom of the screen. So what I do next is go to the layers tab at the top of the screen and click “hide layers”, making them all invisible

Then basically what I do next is create a frame at the bottom and assign an individual capture to it by clicking the little grey square (making it visible again). So as you can see, my first frame is for my first capture/layer. The next frame will be the capture/layer on top of that.

So yeah, that means I create each frame individually. It’s veeery time consuming but you get quicker at it the more you do it (it’s also faster to do on a laptop touch pad rather than a mouse.). 

Once I’ve created all my frames, I reselect the colouring layers at the top so they’re visible on every frame. It should look like this

Next, you need to crop your gif and resize it. I want my gif to be 540px by 270px so I put 54.00 and 27.00 into the crop feature to get it accurate. This allows me to crop the canvas into the right dimensions.

Once I’ve cropped the canvas, I then go to the Image tab at the top and click “Image Size…” and set the image size to 540px by 270px. I usually ignore the Print Size bit.

540px is the best size for a full width Tumblr gif, anything bigger or smaller will make your gif look blurry. This gifset is a good guide for making sure Tumblr doesn’t blur or crop your gifs.

My gif is almost ready to be exported. But I want it to look clearer, so I sharpen all the layer/captures (yes, individually again). I have no settings for sharpening, but I find using the standard “Sharpen” effect under the “Effects” tab is enough. 

Once I’ve sharpened everything, I get to the colouring and exporting which is the biggest challenge for me. Photoplus’ options for exporting gifs are limited, so the only decent export options are these

“Web-safe” and “Ordered” makes the gif look like this

“Optimized” and “None” makes it look like this. Okay, but the background looks low quality and patchy

“Optimized” and “Error Diffusion” is the only one that to me, looks the best quality. That’s probably why it produces the bigger file size too (the gif below is 2.78mb)

But there’s other downsides to Error Diffusion which I’m still trying to figure out to this day.  Like how it makes parts of the gif “glitch” (that’s the only way I can describe it) or look extra fuzzy. The only way you can fix it is by playing around with the colouring. And by “playing” I mean adjusting and previewing until you want gouge ur eyes out :)

I think that’s why I like giffing The Terror so much, because the film they used has a grainy texture to it, making it easier to hide all my Error Diffusion sins. Though there’s been many times I’ve posted something and hoped no one’s noticed all the mistakes. 

Some general tips for colouring

Unless you’re going for a certain effect, emphasise on the colours that are already in the shot. In my gif  above for example, I turned up the blues and cyans.

Use Levels or Curves instead of Brightness and Contrast.

Zoom in on your gif to spot any Error Diffusion glitches.

Be mindful about whitewashing POC, especially if you’re following the pastel gif trend.

Look at how other people colour their gifs and use PSDs for reference but don’t rely on them too much.

Colouring can increase or decrease the gif file size. If you need to get below 3mb, try toning down super vibrant colours. If the shot you’re giffing is dark, make it a bit darker. If it’s light, make it a bit lighter. 

If all else fails, just make the gif black and white.

Reading all this back makes how I make gifs look like a nightmare lmao. But I’ve been doing it this way since like, 2012 and i love it. I started out making very bad Star Wars and Lady Gaga gifs but as time has gone on and I’ve gotten better, I’ve found I enjoy making things for smaller fandoms much more. I like that if I want a certain set or edit on my blog, I can just go and make it (with varying degrees of success) instead of waiting for someone else to do it.

You appreciate the work that goes into making a movie or show when you make gifs too. Like, you notice subtle little things in the actors performances or something the cinematography is trying to convey. You get to revisit a scene in detail and then share it with everybody else and if you’re lucky, watch them scream in the tags get some nice comments.

There’s lots of other stuff I like about making gifs but I’ve rambled on far too much so I’m just gonna shut up for now. But I think I’ve covered all the important stuff. I don’t know how much of a help I’ve been (there’s still stuff I don’t understand myself) but if there’s anything else you want to know just drop me a message. Good luck with your own gifs!! I’m sure you can do  a much better job than me!

I was tagged by @beepbeep-richietozier, @darknightfrombeyond, @yourpalmoony, and @musiciatee

Here’s your answers Cat:

1.) What is your favorite movie and why?

Ooooo so many..... at the moment I’m going through another Undrafted phase.... @yourpalmoony knows what that’s all about ;) it’s one of my comfort movies lol.

2.) Which of your ocs would you get along with best in real life?

Umm... either Nora because she’s the most like me or Ben because he’s the most chill of them all lol. Maybe Myra if I was in the mood to just have quiet and read a book lol.

3.) If you could be a character in any fandom what would it be?

I don’t think I’d wanna be stuck in a fandom. But if I could just have one night with 3b Derek Hale I’d be happy ;)

4.) What is your favorite musical?

That’s a hard one. Probably Hairspray, I could sing those songs over and over. To be fair I’ve never seen a musical live though. So I’m going with movies here. 

5.) Which of your ocs would you put in another fandom?

That’s an interesting question.... I feel like Nora could be interesting in the MCU. Like get her and Bucky in a room and they have allot in common. And we all know she’d climb that like a tree.

6.) Who are you favorite ocs from other creators?

This is always tough. Fred Ackerman by @susiesamurai (I’ve gotten to sneak peak the re-write and dudes it’s amaze balls), Alex Jones by @yourpalmoony (she knows how trash I am) & Merikh Amor by @roan-kom-azgeda (there’s just something about him)

7.) Do you play video games? If so, what is your favorite?

I used to. I don’t have allot of time for it anymore. And I’m totally going to age myself here but I loved Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X. I worked an entire summer bagging groceries for like $9/hr to save up for a playstation 2 and Kingdom Hearts lol.

8.) What helps you write?

Sometimes it’s music, but allot of times I put a movie on I like but can tune out. Something like Pitch Perfect or anything Tyler Hoechlin or DOB. My computer is right under the TV so I can listen and watch out of the corner of my eye if I need. If I get really stuck I take a break and knit for a bit.

9.) Is there a story you’ve been holding off from writing? If so, what is it?

I’ve been slacking on Lenny’s story. I fell behind on Arrow and didn’t watch the whole season I was going to put her in. But they added a character that also makes her a moot point so it probably won’t happen.

10.) What are some fcs that you would like to use?

Um... none I can think of. Usually I kind of come up with the character idea and then look for a FC. So none I can think of.

11.) What fandom would you like to read stories for but you haven’t yet?

There’s so many awesome supernatural OC’s out there but I’ve never really read any of their stories. Mostly because I keep meaning to catch up on the show. And don’t want spoilers. I’ve done my best to keep away from them but things happen. Just need to get my butt in gear and start watching again.

Here’s your answers Day:

1 - Write the last sentence of your current WIP.

“Came in to help Chris with a contract,” she stated simply.

It’s not very exciting lol.

2 - List your favorite line of dialogue/narration from someone else’s fanfiction. :D

Ooooo that’s hard.... my current one is from a re-write that isn’t released so I’ll probably leave this one.

3 - List your top 3 favorite OCs (your own or someone else’s)

I’ll list 3 different ones ;)

Ariana Petrakis by @fraysquake, Bianca Stilinski by @rhaenystargaryen411 & Dylan Larson by @bisexualpadmenaberrie

4 - Name a movie you can watch any time/place?

Captain America: Civil War.... all for the bucky, the bucky.....

5 - Music to write to?

I have a playlist of angsty, alt/indy rock.... it’s a sickness

6 - Has there ever been anything you’ve read (or written yourself) that stayed with you? What was it?

It all kind of stays with me, I find writing pretty therapeutic. I can’t think of a line or anything off the top of my head at the moment.

7 - Pick a Theme Song for your favorite OC!!! (your own)

Oooooooo Nora (duh lol) would be Lost Boy by Ruth B. teehee

8 - Pick a Theme Song for someone else’s OC!!!

This is actually hard for Nikita Grace by @yourpalmoony I’d say Unsteady by X-Ambassadors. 

9 - You’re lost in the woods. Running low on food and water … which of your OCs comes to find and rescue you??

NONE?! Seriously I write allot of selfish assholes lol. Actually probably Ben, he’s a teddy bear. If Gabe came to save me I’d probably run the other way lol.

10 - If you could only ever write for one character, one fic, from now until the day you die … and nothing else … which would it be?

Easy! Nora Argent and Virago. This story has taken over my life already lol.

11 - Orange Swirl Ice Cream or Cookie Dough? (totally random question)’

Cook Dough all the way!!!!!!!!

Here you go Moony:

1.) You’re stranded on a remote island, and have to survive for what could be months. Which three fictional characters would you want there? And why?

huh.... have to think on this a bit...

Poison Ivy because she could make anything grow we needed to eat, Oliver Queen because he’s already survived an island and Derek Hale (you know why)

2.) What is your go-to happy show?

Probably Diners, Drive-ins & Dives because I’m weird like that.

3.) What three songs are you obsessed with at the moment?

Too Good at Goodbyes by Sam Smith, Stripped by Shiny Toy Guns & She is Love by Parachute.

4.) Pick one of your ocs, now pick a band or artist who’s music and vibes really resonate with that oc

Gabriel... You’re So Vain by Carly Simon heeheeeheeheeheehee

5.) What is your guilty pleasure fandom?

Teen Wolf obviously lol or really anything Hoech, but I don’t really feel guilty about it

6.) Say something nice about someone else's writing (I know its not a question but lets spread some love, huh?)

So I’m going with Kam (@susiesamurai) because I’ve been reading her re-write for her. Kam I love how invested you are in Fred and Kevin. You know them so well and it shows. You’re dialogue is witty and amazing and makes me fall in love with them even more every time I read it.

And Moony, you my dear write with such detail that I can easily lose myself in the story. It’s why I have to wait until I have lots of free time. The world falls away when I get into the Gloaming. Great job my dear.

7.) Which of your edits are you most proud of? Put it in here!

Right now because I’m deep into Splintered as well as just figuring out how to use PSD’s it’s this one

8.) Which of your ocs deserve a damn vacation? Name four of them, and pick where they would go and why?

Nora Argent, Frankie Connelly, Ben Connelly... can only think of four lol. They all need to go to like Cuba and just enjoy some good rum and some sun. Although Frankie might not like what happens when Ben and Nora get drunk lol.

9.) Make an OC now! Face Claim: Michael Cera

Damn it Moony! Um... his name is Jack Kinkaid, he looks unassuming but really he’s mastermind hacker simply known as The Knight. He does allot of Robin Hood steal from the rich and give to the poor. Exposing those rich as the horrible people they are. Sending them to jail under the nose of the FBI as he works as an unassuming Best Buy employee.

10.) Think of your main oc, now make them a POC, who would play them? If you have a main poc then go with secondary! If this doesn’t pertain to you, then write a few sentences on why you love me.

So this made me fall down a pit in youtube and now have a new love in my life that is a show that I must watch immediately fyi.

But Nora --> Deborah Ann Woll --> Summer Bishil (Margo from the Magicians) form the little bit I’ve seen of the Magicians Margo reminds me allot of Nora

Here you go Ang:

1. What hobby would you get into if time and money weren’t an issue?

I actually own a spinning wheel. No idea how to use it but there’s a workshop like 8 hours from where I live for two weeks in the summer. It’s really super expensive and would love to do it some day.

2. Who’s your go to band or artist when you can’t decide on something to listen to?

Lately it’s been between Imagine Dragons and Sam Smith. I like me some sad tunes.

3. What TV show or movie do you refuse to watch?

I’m sorry I just can’t do Fifty Shades, even for Tyler Heochlin. Or Magic Mike. As much of a smut reader as I am. I prefer a decent story line in my movies.

4. What could you give a 40-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?

Knitting/Crochet. It’s my passion. Or Chickens. This is the weird life I lead people hahahahaha.

5. What do you wish you knew more about?

I wish I knew more about my fellow writers. I’m horrible for sticking in my little bubble. Feel free to contact me peeps. I’m shy.

6. What would be your first question after waking up from being cryogenically frozen for 100 years?

About my family. I’d wanna know where they were. Hopefully with me.

7. What’s the best thing that happened to you last week?

Been a shitty week. But probably the ease my writing is coming, and the amazing things people have made me for Splintered. 

8. What’s the best way to start the day?

Giant cup of coffee with the perfect amount of cream, yarn and needles, cuddles with my kids and a good cheesy chick flick. Or if I can have anything and not be so cute, NAKED TYLER HOECHLIN that is all!

9. What would you rate 10 / 10?

How amazing you all are!

10. What single message would you send to an alien race?

That if there’s peace and love where they are stay there (sorry that shit got dark)

11. If someone narrated your life, who would you want to narrate?

Do you even need to ask? Have you heard Tyler Hoechlin speak???? That is all....

I’m not going to tag anyone because I’m sure we’ve all been tagged somewhere along the way hahahaha. Hope you like the answers this was a beast but I did it!

[shadowclarys]

it's in that good doggy gifset and the one of izzy arriving at the iron sisters, her skin looks so white in those. again, no hate, it's just a friendly tip because i love your gifs. have a nice day! :)

about the good doggy post: oh yeah :/ it’s the coloring. it’s not the coloring i usually use (it’s not even mine) and that scene is sooooo damn hard to color ): the problem is, well, first of all, that scene is impossible to color xD the other is that my coloring (which most of the times doesn’t whitewash characters) just doesn’t work in that scene, sigh T____T which is kinda odd because when i did an 8-gifset (245px x 138px), the coloring worked fine, but when i did a 4-gifset (245px x 245px) it looked terrible?????? maybe the crop changed the scene’s original colors? idk i srsly have no idea of what happened. so i had to use another coloring. and the coloring i used is a pastel pink, and since emeraude is poc, the coloring turned every yellow and red tone into pink, so it looks a little whitewashed, yes, but also pinky… ugh i tried my best not to whitewash her and that was the closer i got to her skin tone. also, that coloring was the only one that worked for it. i’m so sorry, truly ;____;

the one of her arriving at the iron sisters, do you mean this or this? (i’m assuming it’s the first one so) can you believe i used the EXACT SAME COLORING?????????? i hadn’t realized how different it was until you told me D: i swear to god i LITERALLY opened my psd file of the gifs from the gifset, found the one for the same scene and dragged the coloring to the one i was doing??????? i had once noticed my 4-gifsets were a bit different from my 8-gifsets when i giffed the same scene, but since i don’t gif izzy that much and most of my gifs are clary, the skin tone had never gotten my attention to this .-. i srsly have no idea why this happens… maybe cropping really does change the scene colors????? idk, it doesn’t make any sense…

btw sometimes i spend so much time on a gifset (i have already spent a whole week in a gifset tbqh :/), and some gifs are made overnight, when i’m really tired and sleepy, and my eyes may not see colors properly, so i might not see when i whitewash something or when something gets too yellow, you know? and depending on the work i’d have to fix, i would spend a lot of time again, and i’m really busy with studies and stuff, sometimes i just don’t have the time :/

anyway, when you first sent me this tip, i went through my gifsets to see if i whitewashed her in every gif and i noticed that some scene sequences have different lightings. like, using this one as an example, do you realize that in the 2nd, 3rd and 6th gifs her skin tone is different from each other? i used the same coloring, as unbelievable this might be… and the gifs are all from the same scene sequence, which makes it even harder to have so many different coloring results. it was filmed in the same location, eme was using the same makeup, i mean, it shouldn’t be this different… so i figured it must be the lighting. maybe they used a too bright/white light on her face and the production/filming itself whitewashed her :/

i’m not saying i didn’t whitewash her, i did once - my bad ): -, but sometimes the camera/light did that already and there’s not much i can do to give her skin tone back :/ and trust me, there’s nothing that bothers me more than having to correct someone’s skin colors because of the coloring i’m using or the lighting of the scene. tbqh, some colorings and/or some lightings can completely change a skin tone and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to correct that. i’ll comment some examples so you can understand what i’m talking about xD (if you haven’t used photoshop like ever, you probably won’t understand much, but i’ll try my best so you can get it

2nd gif: originally, the scene was in some kind of sewers of the institute, so it was very dark and very green. i’m not a big fan of green for gifs, so i always change it to blue, so it’s easier to change to another color. in this gif tho i went for blue… but since green is not only green but it’s also a bit yellowish (and when the scene is dark, the green is more to a yellow than green - like a yellowish green), her skin tone got a bit blue. i tried correcting that by making her skin less yellow and more pink, but still, there were some pixels that couldn’t be changed to pink and when i changed the green parts, i had to alter the yellow section in the selective color layer (a photoshop tool), so unfortunately it affected some pixels of her face and arms ): i always try everything i can, and most of the times i spend a whole afternoon trying to correct things like that, but i don’t succeed every time T____T)

9th gif: ok uhm first of all CONFESSION TIME xD this gif was my personal hell. i spent LITERALLY like 3 days trying to correct her skin tone. SATAN MESSED HER SKIN TONE, I’M NOT KIDDING lol that scene is so blueish/greenish (idek what color that is lmfao), i had to change the colors of THE WHOLE SCENE so i could correct it. no coloring worked, and i wanted to use mine, there was that too. also, i wanted some things very specific - the thing she was runing on had to be purple, the rune had to be orange/yellow or pink, and there had to be some blue in the scene too bc i’m that much of a bummer to myself and photoshop never cooperates with me… srsly, i made clary’s hair go pink, then yellow, then fixed it to orange. her skin went from blue/green to red, then yellow, until i finally came with a believable skin color. but if you look closely, you can still see some green, purple, red and yellow pixels WHICH BOTHERS ME SO FUCKING MUCH. i mentally prepared myself to post that gifset for like 2 days, like ‘people are not dumb they’ll notice those pixels like i’m noticing and it’ll be frustrating oh god’ but i was so proud of that gifset, i wanted to post it so badly, and i wanted that scene to be a part of the gifset so much i was like ‘fuck this’ lmfao also those who gif and tried to gif that scene know wanting to make it colorful and pretty is like asking satan to punch you in the face with a spike and then throw acid at you so i thought they would be like ‘this girl tried hard and even tho she failed miserably well let’s give her some thumbs up for her hard ok and courage’ xD ok you can see i hate everyone who decided that scene to be dark and blue/green lmfao (here goes a screencapture so you see the true colors of the scene with no coloring on)

anyway, i’m just telling you this whole thing because i’m so sorry i disappointed you and i wanted you to know that i never whitewash poc on purpose and that i always try the bestest i can so that doesn’t happen, and every time that does, you can be 100% sure it was an accident (because i didn’t notice it) or it was the closest i got to her skin tone and there’s not much i can do about that ):

oh god this got way too long D: i hope it doesn’t scare you hahahaha but hey i never meant to offend you or anything, ok, dear? i just wanted to explain you some things so you wouldn’t be so mad at me

thank you so much for being such a cutie btw!! :3
