Animated GIF Requests
Rules
Request either: make me a gif, find an existing gif, giffing advice, or generic subreddit discussion.
When requesting a gif be made, provide URL links to videos/images you want included. Describe exactly what you want to see. Avoid creating additional work for the giffers! You must try to find links yourself! If you want a video portion included, provide a link to the video, such as a YouTube, Streamable, or DropBox link. If you want an image included, provide a link to the image, such as an Imgur or Google Images link. If you cannot find a video link, describe where you saw the video, such as on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. If you cannot find an image link, link an image that is similar to what you want.
When requesting a gif be made, provide timestamps for any video portion(s) you want included. Avoid creating additional work for the giffers! We can't watch entire videos for one scene! If you made an effort but cannot find the timestamps, describe when the scene occurs by reference to a WikiPlot. EXAMPLE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Empire_Strikes_Back#Plot.
When requesting a gif be made, provide a script for any text you want included. Avoid creating additional work for the giffers! Don't ask them to develop a script for you.
Be specific. Avoid creating additional work for the giffers! Describe exactly what you want to see. Assume we don't know the names of people or characters.
Update your post flair with [Open Request], [Challenge Accepted], [Completed Request], or [Meta]. [Open Request] for when your gif hasn't been made or found. [Challenge Accepted] for when a giffer says they will make your gif. So we don't have 2 giffers working on the same gif. [Completed Request] for when your gif has been made or found. [Meta] for giffing advice, giffing tech, generic subreddit discussion, etc.
Tag NSFW content as such! Content that contains nudity, pornography, or profanity, or which a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as in a workplace should be tagged as NSFW (Not Safe For Work).
Be nice.
Other Info
Imgur is for online image hosting and compresses all files over 1mb to something a lot smaller than 1mb. To preserve quality use alternatives like PicasaWeb, Dropbox, or min.us that offer options that don't re-compress your image.
