frequently asked questions

WHERE DO YOU MAKE GIFS?
I use photoshop CC 2015 and mpv to capture the frames.

HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO CAPTURE SCREENSHOTS ON NETFLIX IN HIGH QUALITY?
I had to t*rrent the episodes in 1080p quality in order to make gifs or screenshots.

HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD YOUR GIFS?
Apparently you can use a Twitter bot to download media, there are tons of them.

CAN I POST YOUR GIFS/SS?
You can. But please, don't crop or remove my watermark. You can use my screenshots freely, but if you do repost the edited versions, please tag me! But the original, raw screenshots, you don't need to credit. 💖

WHY YOU ASK FOR CREDITS ON YOUR GIFS?
I know I am not the owner of Arcane's rights, but I do work on every gif differently. If you compare my gifs to the actual scene/footage on the show, you will notice the colors are different.

I color correct every gif (and most screenshots) I post, to make the colors brighter, to brighten the darker scenes and make sharp and clean for Twitter. And it does take my time and dedication, even if "the footage isn't mine".

HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR GIFS SO CLEAN/SHARP
Twitter compresses the gif a lot, so you need to compensate. After you've done color correcting, add more sharpness, saturation and vibrancy, darker the shadows. If you don't overcompensate, the gif will look duller compared to what you see on your Photoshop or even any other website you post.

Also: always use 1080p or high quality footage. If the footage is shit, add noise/grain because it somehow makes it better.

Remember the size limit is 15mb!

USEFUL RESOURCES
Here is the tutorial I followed to download MPV, her tutorial on how to make gifs is also very useful.
There are plenty of tutorials on Tumblr, I learned there, but just remember to do overcompensate on the finishing touches as I told you and they should look good!

if you have any remaining question, please dm or ask on my curiouscat
