slow motion = more frames

You won't get anything close to that same effect. You'll have to resize the length/width, reduce frames, and reduce the number of colors to hit that under 70KBs.

Example: This is still 7x the limit.

Was bored..this actually took a lot longer than I thought to make, but I'd sell it for 300fg. Had to resize and cut out 16 frames, among other things. It's 60KBs.

so it took more than 2 mins?

I suppose my original statement could have a double meaning, so I'll extrapolate. When I say 'resize' I meant each frame had to be resized so jake was the same size for each frame. The original gif zooms in, so jake gets larger. This required a lot of tweaking to reduce the shakiness. When I say 'cut out' I meant clip out the background of each frame, so the background stayed the same to reduce file size. I obviously did resize the overall length/width and cut out full frames as well, which it seems you're referring to. Then I recropped, resized, and recolored until I got it under the file size limit.

Side note: your sig is really awesome. That's a beautiful font. I love the crop job tangents the leaf creates as it just barely touches the edges. Ideally it would have more jpeg though, but I suppose there is a limit to just how jpegy an image can get, especially in a gif.

that is quite the amount of work.

thanks! Wish i could take credit for making it :/

u able to do the middle one?
If u cud do all 3 really nice id be willing to pay for the sigs.
will have fg very soon.

Not gonna do what swanson did, just cause I'm too lazy to spend that amount of time on it
but I tried it

70.42 KB which is still allowed (rounds down to 70)
also don't re upload any gifs to tinypic or the file size will shoot way up
