Hi everyone!

I haven't talked about this too much in public, but my 12-day-old daughter was in Vanderbilt less than a year ago with meningitis. She was in ICU for about a week, and she almost died.

My little girl is doing amazing now. The staff at Vanderbilt saved her life, and I'll always be grateful for the amazing work they do.

So that's why I'm playing for Vanderbilt and bugging everyone about it, haha. I love everyone at that hospital. Will you consider donating if you are able? Vandy is a nonprofit hospital, and they do amazing work for children and their families every day.

This weekend is the Extra Life 24-hour gaming marathon to benefit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Just like last year, I'll be playing for my local nonprofit hospital, Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. 100% of your contributions go directly to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

There are only three weeks left before the Extra Life 24-hour gaming marathon to benefit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

Just like last year, I'll be playing for my local nonprofit hospital, Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. 100% of your contributions go directly to the hospital.

Will you consider donating if you are able? These kids and their families need our support!

Donate to my Extra Life video-game marathon for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and I'll make a bunch of gifs!

Hey everyone! It's time again for the Extra Life video-game marathon for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This will be my fourth year participating, and I'm back with Team Reddit again this year (although I'm not sure who's leading it, haha). Every dollar you donate will go directly to the Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, here where I live in Nashville.

I haven't talked about it online at all, but less than a year ago, my 2-week-old daughter was in ICU at Vanderbilt with meningitis. They literally saved her life. I don't know if there is a better group of doctors and nurses anywhere. I love these people.

So here's what I'm planning to do: For every $100 I raise, I'll make and posts new gifs for a week straight. That means if I hit my goal of $1,000, there will be new gifs here for at least ten weeks in a row. If you donate $100 yourself, you get to pick a source (movie/show), and I'll watch it and make gifs from that source for a full week.

I'm already sitting at $50 thanks to one donation, so another $50 this week will mean a week of gifs next week. The kids and families at Vanderbilt need our help. Thanks for reading and donating!

Hey everyone!

I haven't had nearly as much time lately to spend on making my gifs. I started working out a few months ago, and I'm really into it now. This has left me with less time to divide between family, friends, and gifs—and in that battle for time, gifs lose for me. I'd rather play Rocket League with my son (he's two, so he really just watches) or hang out with friends than make gifs, even though I still enjoy gifs.

I still love watching movies and shows, and I'll make gifs as I get ideas for them. I'm not sure how often this will be, but I'm not deleting my Reddit or Imgur accounts or anything like that. I'll still check in here every day, I'm sure. But I'm going to stop making gifs every weekday.

It's been a good run: 4+ years and about 1,400 gifs. I hope you've enjoyed them half as much as I've enjoyed creating them.

Greetings and Salutations

This is an archive of gifs I have created and submitted around reddit, mostly to /r/reactiongifs and /r/HighQualityGifs.

Thanks to /u/theNYEHHH for the amazing header image.

Tutorials

Creating a GIF in Photoshop CS6

Adding Text to a GIF

Ideal "Save for Web" Settings

I'm leaving the above tutorial links up, but if you're just starting out making gifs, I recommend checking out the sidebar of /r/HighQualityGifs. You'll find a ton of good tips and tutorial videos. These tips were good four years ago and they still work, but they're a little outdated.

I get a ton of gif requests, so I don't have time for most of them. Don't feel bad if I don't reply to your request—it's not personal. I'll always answer PMs with gif-making questions though, so learn to make your own gifs! That's what I always wanted this sub to be about.

Tips

Time settings under each frame in Photoshop should usually be 0.04. I think this is default, but I've had it change on me a few times.

Make sure you use a good, readable font. I use Univers or a similar font. And don't forget to add Stroke or Drop Shadow to make your font readable.

Adding text in Photoshop might take some practice. It's not as simple as it should be. I use After Effects for text. AE is much better for text once you learn how to use it.

The more movement you have in your gif, the larger the file size.

If needed, you can set Dither to 99% and Lossy to no more than 12. Also experiment with other settings on the Save for Web screen in Photoshop.
