1. Where do you get all of your SNSD photos?
I get them from all sorts of sites lol.
Google, Soshified, fansites, and a large part on tumblr ^^
(fuckyeahthebestsnsdblog, hellotheregoodbye, hwanggroup, tiffanytiamo to name a few)
2. What part of Colombia are you from?
Cali! ^^ I was born there and raised here in the U.S. beginning at the age of 3.
I am fluent in Spanish, sometimes my Caleña accent comes out lol, at which point my mom starts laughing and I remind her that Cali runs through my veins lol.
3.How do you make HD GIFs?
HD VIDEOSSSS!
lol and also, there are plently of tricks to make your GIF size smaller.
If you want a hugeee square GIF with lots of pretty colors, you’ll have to keep the frames down to like 3 or 4.
If you want a normal sized GIF with lots of pretty colors, you can keep 10-15 frames. (that’s only cause I’m greedy/stubborn and I make adjustments like crazy until I can keep the frames and the 256 colors lol)
If you aren’t patient enough to modify size and coloring till it’s at a happy medium, you can just keep your frame number down to 5-7.
I sharpen each frame. EACH FREAKIN’ FRAME lol.
Umm, if you have a black background, use this opportunity to make a long GIF. The black background allows you to use more frames without passing Tumblr’s 500 kb size limit.
Ummm, what else =.=…..
OH! Freezing parts of the GIF help tremendously in lowering GIF size.
Remember dark colors keep the file size smaller than lighter colors do.
Set your GIF settings to “pattern” for optimum quality.
“adaptive” will make your GIF size larger, so generally I’d recommend “Selective”. Sometimes it’s the opposite but usually it’s like that.
Also, lots of practice. I’ve made like 2098524867305 GIFs lol.
4.Do you use Topaz?
Yes, I use Topaz denoise.
Once in a blue moon I’ll use Topaz Clean.
5. How do you make your pictures look so HQ?
I just use pictures that are HQ/HD to begin with.
Then I downsize them too 500 pixels in width, and save them as .png Files (set to interlaced cause it looks pretty as it loads lol)
I sharpen them, and denoise them.
6.How do you edit?
Um, I use selective coloring alwayyys, lots of “soft light” gradients and color fills… um I play around with blending mode often, and I use levels, curves, color balance, more selective coloring, Brightness/contrast…. and I think that’s about it.
OH! and vibrance ^^
I use Photoshop cs5 btw.
7.What is the song on your page?
It’s a bigbang/soshi remix of The Boys. (A freaky remix)
Here is the youtube link
So, those are the questions I tend to see…
and I have grown tired of answering them over and over lol, so there you go ^^
I’m taeng biased if you haven’t noticed. Fany is right there with Taengoo on my list, sometimes my blog ends up looking like a Fany blog lol. Same with taetae.
Then of course, I love all~ the soshi girls ^^
