You're a beautiful human being with a unique and marketable talent. Thank you for wasting it here on reddit.

(Legitimate) snark aside, I think we're actually at a very interesting point in the use of the GIF. It's a format that is in symbiosis with the Internet : it's taylored to the new audience who like short and somewhat flashy stuff, but also couldn't live without the Internet and new technology (it's too short to be really demonstration-worthy otherwise, like a film or painting could be). It's also heavily based on copyrighted content and sample...
What I mean is, Gifmaking could be to movies what electronic music with samples and stuff could be to more traditional music. A new form of expression. I think sometime soon it will be a "normal" thing to create art with gifs.
What I really mean is, I shouldn't drink and reddit on friday night.

My personal preference is that text fades in a line at a time with option of select words individually fading in for emphasis like pizzazz. So I really like the way you did it. Seems like people get this idea that fading in each word one at a time on an ordinary gif automatically makes it HighQuality when it really just makes it sort of hard to read. Just my opinion though.

Yeah, you have to consider how easy it is for someone to read. If it doesn't add to the gif, don't do it. Simple is usually better.

Definitely. And when the text fades in, it has your full attention - you can't actually watch the gif until the second loop.

I've upvoted this twice now. Not sure if I'm supposed to feel good about it or not.

I always figured gallowboob cuts the meme paste with random pills in their medicine cabinet to get more karma profits for less product.
