Gif maker appreciation time: I’ve discovered a lot of shows/movies thanks to tumblr and it seems that nearly every time I see a gifset first and then the show, I’m surprised (and a little disappointed) because the scenes are just…not as pretty as the gifsets. Like a scene will look too dark, but the gifmaker will have brightened everything up so I can actually see the character’s expressions, or they will have made it so the lights glow warm and soft, or painted it in pretty colors, or highlighted the color of someone’s lips or the blush in their cheeks. And as a gifmaker myself, I know what kind of work goes into gif making and how you can change how a scene looks, and yet I am always still surprised when I see how differently someone’s made a scene look in a gifset, and am in awe of their artistic eye and how they saw a regular scene and were able to turn it into something so stunning.

My fellow gif makers are basically artists and I love and appreciate you guys.
