Hippo Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I have recently self taught myself on how to create attractive animated GIFs. These are pretty cool for avatars, signatures, and sometimes serve a multimedia purpose.Here are some examples I have made that come from pony episodes:(THIS ONE IS UP FOR GRABS IF SOMEPONY WANTS IT. It meets avatar dimensions.If you would like a customized animated gif, feel free to post a request. Here are the details I'll need:- Video you want it pulled from, including timestamps- Purpose of the animation (avatar, sig, etc.)- A good description of how you want it to loop, and/or your expectationsIf anybody else who knows how to make simple animated GIF files wants to create their own versions of a request, feel free to give it a shot. I'd like to make this an open thread for anypony who wants to get their hooves wet.For beginners, it's important to know that an animated GIF is just a series of GIFs put together, like a flipbook, if you will. So an animated GIF doesn't have to be a 'video' per-say. It can simply be a slideshow of a few pictures.A freeware (up to 20 uses) that I sometimes use is Easy GIF Animator. You can download the trial here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziddia Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Any good loop of Trixie from Boast Busters? As an avatarThanks. I like your work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Trixie's only appearance provides lots of looping opportunities. However, most of her loops are pretty simple. But simple is sometimes good.Take your pick.http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l585/riverhippo269/trixie1.gifhttp://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l585/riverhippo269/trixie4.gifhttp://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l585/riverhippo269/trixie3.gifhttp://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l585/riverhippo269/trixie2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Hoof MD Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Could I possibly get the scene from Look Before You Sleep where Rarity makes the spooky noise looped? As an avatar? I believe it was around 8:57-8:59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Here is a straight shot of it:http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l585/riverhippo269/rarityspook1-1.gifTried to loop a continuous shot of her using a reverse method, and this is what I ended up with:http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l585/riverhippo269/rarityspook2-1.gifThe tranfering of data fro a .png to a .gif distorts it slightly. In this case, white dots can be seen near rarity's horn. Looks like magic.If they are sped up too fast (for whatever reason) I can make it slower if you want.

Skye Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 There was this that you might be able to chop in half, one for Rarity and one for Applejack, riverhippoRarity and Applejack being 'spooky' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Hoof MD Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I love the second one. Looks adorable. Thanks riverhippo! Edit: I also like the loop in the link Skye posted. That gives me an idea for a signature but that is a venture for another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 There was this that you might be able to chop in half, one for Rarity and one for Applejack, riverhippoRarity and Applejack being 'spooky'I really like that. I like how they looped Rarity without it looking choppy. How her tail suddenly dissapears is kind of annoying, but than again, I am very nitpicky at times.

BlindJester Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I just realized that in the gif with rarity and her spooky movement her horn moves an AWEFUL lot more than her head does...... -giggles- Bad pony thoughts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very bad pony thoughts indeed. I thought this too. It's almost like Rarity has a few loose screws in her head that allow her horn to wobble.

Hippo Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I am extended a hoof and am doing banners for RP characters.Here are my personal examples:If you would like one made for your character(s), I can help you! I can also make animated ones, but I highly recommend not using animated banners as they will only distract reading the posts, since RP is heavy reading for the most part.A banner allows to set the mood, or to reintroduce a character. Lots of people have their characters in their avatar, but not everypony does. This can sometimes derail slightly when a friendly timid pony's personality is written up next to a avatar that promotes some other kind of emotion.The banners I would make are pretty small, only 300 X 100, however, I'm willing to create other sizes as long as they are not too big. They just need to be big enough to get the job done and provide a little visual aide to get the RP story rolling. Any special designs or ideas are welcome for discussion. This is an open thread.

BaconofChaos Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ooh, these are pretty cool! If you could do ones for my characters, Diamond Tiara, Lyra and maybe Myself too, that'd be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindJester Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'd ask for one for all of my charries but that's like 9 banners XDYour stuff is always amazing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
