holy crap it's like 3d let me go get my 3d monitor.

[–]toThe9thPower 34 points35 points ago

This gif came from a pretty high quality video, I wonder if that means there are pirated copies that great quality too?

[–]N0v1K 16 points17 points ago

720p mkv and 1080p mkv ;)

[–]toThe9thPower 4 points5 points ago

AWHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHH downloading it already ha

[–]OdoyleRulzz 0 points1 point ago

Hey I think I downloaded this one a few days ago xD

[–]slcStephen 215 points216 points ago

I would suggest taking out a second or two off the beginning: just a little too much time taken focusing on his face.

[–]Ciphermind 117 points118 points ago

[–]EliteChurro 26 points27 points ago

[–]stuckinsuburbia 9 points10 points ago

[–]compto35 149 points150 points ago

just a little too much time taken focusing on his face

Said no porn director ever

[–]Twl1 51 points52 points ago

just a little too much time taken focusing on his face

Said every masturbator ever.

[–]EricFaust 5 points6 points ago

Why do they zoom in on this jerk-off's face?

Said every masturbator ever.

[–]joshjje 24 points25 points ago

I agree, but either way it is still awesome.

[–]LovelyLlama 54 points55 points ago

no, its cool. i like his face

[–]_rice 13 points14 points ago

It reminds me of the thought put into downvoting a post (sometimes); it's a nice buildup as well.

[–]duvakiin 13 points14 points ago

i couldn't agree more. but that's partially because i spent the last ten minutes waiting for the gif to load which could have been reduced to seven if it didn't focus on his face for so long.

[–]IamStrategy 6 points7 points ago

Ten minutes? Where do you live? Antarctica?

[–]theswimmingfrog 1 point2 points ago

Yea it took forever on my phone, which is unusual for just a gif...

[–]space_monster 2 points3 points ago

i.minus is shite.

[–]ichabodguitar 6 points7 points ago

I like it this way. Gives it more tension.

[–]alexm0n 1 point2 points ago

this is what made it awesome. awkward awkward awkward for like.. a long time

[–]Jerlyx 1 point2 points ago

Why would you do that?! Thor is frikken AWESOME!

[–]matt01ss 1 point2 points ago

Haha nice, my mission was to circulate some new content, appears to be working!

[–]Shanix 354 points355 points ago

[–]kevindqc 120 points121 points ago

I don't know why the movement of those upvote arrows seem really nice and natural. It's not like I've already seen a plane drop things like that

[–]MrGoodbytes 30 points31 points ago

I think exactly the same thing every time I see this GIF. The way they kinda float in place before rising up.

[–]Anonazon2 53 points54 points ago

Algebra, man. whoa.

[–]MrGoodbytes -4 points-3 points ago

Do you mean buoyancy?

[–]CranialEruption 46 points47 points ago

No, he means algebra. Specifically parabolas.

[–]Forhavu 9 points10 points ago

Have you never heard of parabolas?

[–]Captain_Meatshield 17 points18 points ago

Yeah, it's a two pack of those throwing ropes with the weights at the ends that you use to catch shit.

[–]Memphis241 1 point2 points ago

Parabaly

what is that, chinese?

[–]QuantumFX 2 points3 points ago

Man, Google translate has really improved over the years.

[–]structurer 5 points6 points ago

The creator might have used a flocking or particle system.

[–]Atario 6 points7 points ago

Parabolas gonna parabola

[–]InterstellarPancake 6 points7 points ago

It's because you've seen a similar motion somewhere else:

When you drop something into water and the bubbles rise to the surface.

[–]JonnyTHM 2 points3 points ago

I would say the same thing, but to me it looks like paper being dropped out of a plane, fragmenting, and finally getting caught in an upwards breeze.

[–]gnarbucketz 13 points14 points ago

B-17, fuck yeah!

[–]Shanix 7 points8 points ago

Best WWII Bomber.

[–]bo87 21 points22 points ago

Yeah! they kill people!

[–]dorian_gray11 -1 points0 points ago

False, the best WWII Bomber was the B-29.

nice.

now the same, but this time the upvote flying towards thor and hulk running with downvotes on each hand.

You're a god.

[–]prannisment[S] 32 points33 points ago

This is what trying to down vote something on the front page feels like.

[–]3book 1 point2 points ago

Awesome!!!

That would make more sense.

[–]techwrek12 2 points3 points ago

Thanks, I couldn't think of what I was going to title it!

[–]yousifucv 39 points40 points ago

Can you explain your work flow here? Programs you used, general steps you took?

[–]prannisment[S] 142 points143 points ago

The gif was made in Blender. The basic steps I took:

  • I used a GIF program to split the original GIF into a series of PNG images.

  • I brought the image sequence into Blender to use as a background for the animation.

  • I modeled the arrow and placed it in front of a camera.

  • Using the image sequence as a background image, I animated the arrow using IPO curves to exactly match the hammer.

  • I animated some "invisible" geometry that would hide the arrow when it's behind objects, like Thor's hands and the crates in the second shot.

  • I textured the arrow to have that glowy look, and lit the scene using some basic sun and hemi lights.

  • I added in the downvote explosion effect using a spherical particle effect and billboard textures.

  • I set up a motion blur effect and added that post process glare effect for the blue glow.

  • I rendered out the new animation, with the arrow and other elements overlayed on top of the original video.

  • I brought the new frames into my GIF program, (Jasc Animation Shop. It's like 6 years out of date but it works pretty well.) adjusted things like frame length, and exported.

[–]pez319 137 points138 points ago

So basically magic.

[–]Davey_Jones 23 points24 points ago

That was I got from it too

[–]spectralnischay 11 points12 points ago

OP could've just said it was like... and it still would've made more sense.

[–]Ericzzz 17 points18 points ago

That's a hell of a lot of work to do for a gif, but it was worth it. Well done.

[–]ieatcows 7 points8 points ago

[–]Misiok 10 points11 points ago

Sounds like a lot of work for something so small, impressive.

[–]Cullly 10 points11 points ago

That's what she said?

[–]montymintypie 8 points9 points ago

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO USES ANIMATION SHOP!!!! ( ^-^)人(^-^ )

[–]prannisment[S] 12 points13 points ago

JASC FA LIFE

[–]Khanxay 1 point2 points ago

I love Jasc Animation Shop. It does exactly what I need it to do in a gif making program using a simple enough interface. I just have to provide frames.

[–]alaub1491 1 point2 points ago

As a fellow gif creator I am thoroughly impressed with your 3d integration.. much more than what I could do in after effects :/

Well off to /r/new

[–]phillythebeaut 14 points15 points ago

i enjoyed it. i don't care that the arrow was pointing the wrong fucking way, i still got it. I also don't give a fuck about the file size, nor do I give a fuck how long you focused on his face at the beginning. He's sexy as fuck anyways (no homo). Original. Nice work.

[–]tanerdamaner 43 points44 points ago

Dude you saved it for yourself? Way to be selfish!

[–]The_ST3V1N470R 17 points18 points ago

I read the the title and expected some poorly edited clip.. you have surprised me, good sir, I applaud you.

[–]fatcolin123 42 points43 points ago

My only complaint is the is no downward motion at all

[–]prannisment[S] 154 points155 points ago

Well, I had to match the direction he's holding the hammer for it to actually work. I thought the blue color was enough to show it was a downvote.

[–]ThatDoesntEven 105 points106 points ago

Don't listen to these other guys, I think you did it right with the way the scene played out. Loved it.

[–]Razer1103 13 points14 points ago

I think it's a little too long, the GIF.

Cut off most of the unnecessary length at the beginning and it might even fit on Imgur.

I might even try...

I managed to knock it down under 5 MB. If someone with Imgur Pro would be willing to upload it to imgur, that would be fantastic.

(I couldn't get it under 2 MB without ruining all the colors.)

[–]Halefor 17 points18 points ago

[–]prannisment[S] 4 points5 points ago

What are you using for compression? It looks great.

[–]Halefor 4 points5 points ago

You want Razer1103, not me. I just happened to be the Imgur pro-account holder who uploaded it.

[–]prannisment[S] 3 points4 points ago

Ah, I see. I thought you got it below 2.5 MB while retaining that level of quality. My mistake.

[–]Razer1103 4 points5 points ago

I cranked your GIF down to 4.71 MB, and had him (with Imgur Pro) upload it to Imgur because it's faster than minus. :)

Really, all I did was load your GIF into Photoshop, (and if I remember correctly,) knock it down to 64 colors, and take away all but 10 of the frames at the beginning where he's just looking for his hammer.

[–]notamustache 2 points3 points ago

I believe imgur has a max of 2.0 MB, not 2.5, just fyi.

[–]Ethosia 2 points3 points ago

Finally a version I can actually load.

[–]GeneralWarts 1 point2 points ago

I put it in the downvote album of my reactiongifarchive.

Http://reactiongifsarchive.imgur.com

[–]TheDudeaBides96 2 points3 points ago

You could take the arrow and put it horizontally across the hammer.

[–]mexipimpin 1 point2 points ago

I sort of thought the same thing at first but it was the mini-downvotes after the punch that made it all better.

[–]Minor_Chord 0 points1 point ago

You did it right the way the scene played out, but his reservtions are correct: there was no downward motion, and so it doesn't quite work. Awesome none the less.

[–]BoilerMaker11 10 points11 points ago

you want him to bring the hammer down?

[–]MageKraze 2 points3 points ago

That would also make a good gif.

[–]TracyMorganFreeman 1 point2 points ago

As would Iron Man double blasting Loki on his descent next to Captain 'Murika.

[–]skarface6 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, it's sideways or upright the whole gif.

[–]markevens 0 points1 point ago

My first impression as well. Isn't there a scene where he is bringing the hammer down?

[–]Jahcez 0 points1 point ago

Suggestion! Get the scene from TDKR where Bane has Batman against the post and he's doing an insanely fast combo to his chest, and make his fists downvote arrows.

[–]axehomeless 2 points3 points ago

Finished the movie literally 3 minutes ago, impecable timing old chap.

[–]SirBaconPants 2 points3 points ago

Every so often, one comes across a gif they know they will use time and time again. You, sir, have created such a gif. Well done.

[–]neon_kid 2 points3 points ago

Quick. Someone make a gif of Hawkeye shooting a downvote at Loki, and then have it explode into a million downvotes.

[–]pseudoart 6 points7 points ago

Jebus, 8.5 mb. Nice job, but seriously, work on the filesize!

[–]prannisment[S] 22 points23 points ago

Yeah, it's pretty huge, but since this is OC, I thought I'd put the highest quality version out there. Here's a much more compressed version.

[–]I_Pee_Sitting_Up 17 points18 points ago

Might I suggest removing the first half of the scene? It's really unnecessary to see his face for that long to convey the idea. A brief shot of his face followed by the remaining action would halve the size of the gif.

[–]HigherFive 22 points23 points ago

Here you go: Short, shorter, shortest.

[–]Cullly 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for this.

[–]Endyo 2 points3 points ago

I think "short" covers the most awesome while being most reasonable to watch in the short attention span of a redditor.

[–]LetoTheTyrant 1 point2 points ago

It's like your Thor's nerdy brother. A god, helping the people, with original content edited to their specific tastes.

[–]Tamural 4 points5 points ago

I actually kind of like it.

It's sort of like "Aaannnnnnnnddddd ... ... DOWNVOTE."

[–]aronfemale 3 points4 points ago

I disagree. You can just see his emotions. Feel his wrath.

[–]mrpti 3 points4 points ago

nice lighting, dude.

[–]ForeverFapFap 3 points4 points ago

Well done sir. EDIT: I don't understand the downvotes, but ok.

[–]metabeing 3 points4 points ago

You don't need to say "well done". That is what upvotes are for.

This is the same reason people downvote "This", "Exactly", "Me too", etc. It adds nothing to the conversation.

I'm only informing you of this because you said you didn't understand.

[–]ForeverFapFap 2 points3 points ago

That is a reasonable explanation. Thank you.

[–]Salvation_Run 1 point2 points ago

Have an upvote.

EDIT: Yes, yes...let me take your downvotes.

[–]I_ran_out_of_spac 1 point2 points ago

I think the beginning is a bit too long.

[–]FFSXIII -1 points0 points ago

This is so cool!

[–]YeahICanSign 0 points1 point ago

Whilst watching this .gif, I had Game of Thrones open in another tab. It was playing through the highlights of the previous episode; and someone withdrew their sword as Thor's hammer came to him. The swordsman then struck a man, in perfect synchronisation with Thor's blow to the Hulk. This may not sound so great, but this .gif with those sounds was something I will not forget for at least two days.

[–]Silvertech 0 points1 point ago

Completely awesome!

[–]Hybrid351 0 points1 point ago

This is bloody fantastic, I hope others will try to live up to the standard that you just set.

[–]Kilgannon_TheCrowing 0 points1 point ago

[–]beefwich 0 points1 point ago

Does the Wadsworth Constant apply to gifs? Trim about 3 second off that intro.

I mean, I could pretend you wasted valuable moments of my time-- but we'd all know that's a lie.

[–]different77 0 points1 point ago

that's what the guy above you meant.

[–]fangbanger04 0 points1 point ago

Seems like a better scene would be when Thor is dropped out of the ship in the container.

[–]MisterxRager 0 points1 point ago

How do you make these?

[–]TheGoldenNarwhale 1 point2 points ago

it would be sickk if he didnt swing the downward arrow up which makes it like an upvote

THIS IS AWESOME! LOVE IT!!

[–]ExtraDip 0 points1 point ago

[–]ansate 0 points1 point ago

This is great. One with Hulk nonchalantly punching Thor through the wall or smashing Loki around like a rag doll would also be pretty amusing.

[–]irunthepeg 0 points1 point ago

I love we got blown away by the special effects creators from The Matrix who were professionals paid to do that crazy shit and now we, Reddit, can do things like this from our basements. Really cool and really well done, OP.

[–]Ciphermind 0 points1 point ago

I chopped off a few dozen frames from the beginning to make this gif more usable.

Excellent work OP. By far my favorite downvote gif.

[–]DrellAssassin 0 points1 point ago

I would shorten it to just the whack.

[–]phoncible 0 points1 point ago

I think the scene where hulk punches thor would also make for a spectacular downvote gif. I will work on it, but I'm pretty bad at these things, so perhaps someone could take up the mantle?

[–]mrmpr 0 points1 point ago
