finally someone gave a shit

[–]JakJakAttacks 26 points27 points ago

Many shits... were given?

[–]iLOVEdux 3 points4 points ago

I took a shit in the time the gif was loaded. Fuckin slow internet... THIS IS WHY CHINA IS BEATING US!!!

[–]ghost_hamster 10 points11 points ago

This is the fastest loading .gif in existence. You shut your damn mouth!

[–]fateswarm 2 points3 points ago

We need a huge gifs trend.

[–]10Cat 46 points47 points ago

Even his voice in my head sounds clearer.

[–]The_Girl_Who_Waited 55 points56 points ago

His skin looks likes flourless chocolate cake

Edit: "flowerless" changed to "flourless" as pointed out by new-socks, which also reminds me that I need new socks

[–]now_in3D 10 points11 points ago

topped with titty sprinkles

[–]new-socks 18 points19 points ago

flourless*

[–]The_Girl_Who_Waited 8 points9 points ago

Oh! Thank you! I hadn't even noticed my typo.

[–]new-socks 10 points11 points ago

Damn, that was quick. And of course you need new socks. Everybody could use another dose of me.

[–]The_Girl_Who_Waited 9 points10 points ago

I check reddit frequently.

[–]new-socks 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, me too. It's a terrible habit. Alright good night!

[–]vitticho 5 points6 points ago

You accidentally a word

[–]new-socks 2 points3 points ago

Whoops! Fixed.

[–]vitticho 2 points3 points ago

You and I both need to go to bed.

[–]The_Girl_Who_Waited 3 points4 points ago

Bed time for everyone!

[–]ThrashingWhiplash 5 points6 points ago

Not me

[–]Dr_Funkenstein_ 3 points4 points ago

For everyone. There is no choice here.

[–]VengefulOctopus 2 points3 points ago

mmmm.

If there was an election for God... Mr. Freeman would have my vote -but probably an election would be redundant.

Here's mine.

[–]IndianaJoanna 80 points81 points ago

So little of a shit that he doesn't even link to the gif.

[–]caindaddy 77 points78 points ago

[–]Crankrune 4 points5 points ago

Fuckin' genius.

[–]wiithepiiple 1 point2 points ago

So many upvotes for a blank post. Priceless.

[–]Obliverate 27 points28 points ago

More!

[–]MrMono1 7 points8 points ago

If you scroll slowly, it flashes. I like it.

[–]TheWhiskeyCrow -1 points0 points ago

Movie Concept: "Starcraft" -STARring Morgan Freeman

[–]matt01ss[S] 15 points16 points ago

So meta

[–]iEATu23 10 points11 points ago

This one lags on my mobile device. OP's doesnt. So yes, we should care. We need to make all gifs like this. Without the useless frames.

[–]Coloneljesus 2 points3 points ago

It lags on purpose. It's not your mobile.

[–]Guesswork 0 points1 point ago

Yours was the best!

[–]no_egrets 1 point2 points ago

RES ruined it for me.

[–]OfficerSlater -1 points0 points ago

It's a trap!!

[–]Mybrainmelts -2 points-1 points ago

So brave

[–]Raneados -3 points-2 points ago

Reposting the gif? You don't goddamn deserve the happiness you're getting. It's FAR too easy. You just got to it first, or were able to randomly steamroll the others that tried. Fuck you. Reddit needs better than you.

I'm gonna be mad at you forever.

[–]zp1012 10 points11 points ago

Well done, sir. Red would be proud

[–]hooplah 9 points10 points ago

I swear to god, I can fucking hear this. It's faint, but I can hear it.

[–]matt01ss[S] 10 points11 points ago

There's actually audio that was added to the gif

[–]Raneados 3 points4 points ago

Why would you say this?

You're going to ruin this poor boy. he's going to spend HOURS listening for the tiny voice that will never come.

[–]matt01ss[S] 46 points47 points ago

Feel free to use this in place of the old laggy one

[–]RoblesZX 8 points9 points ago

What do you use to make your .gifs?

[–]matt01ss[S] 45 points46 points ago

Originally it's an mkv file (720p bluray rip), extracted down to an avi. That file is edited to only a few seconds. It's then put into After Effects to add text and anything else. Outputted to a series of PNG images. At this point you could use Photoshop to make a gif, but I found some good info on a post about using imagemagick and gifsicle to get some good compression and turn the pngs into a gif.

Outputting from AE: http://i.imgur.com/soEW0.png

Edit: All credit for compression goes to:

www.reddit.com/u/pays4porn

This is the post that someone linked me to which gave me the commands and ideas to get good compression: http://www.reddit.com/r/reactiongifs/comments/x55z9/after_i_learned_how_to_make_large_well_compressed/c5jbq7c

[–]RoblesZX 8 points9 points ago

Wow, thank you. This was much better than I was hoping for. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything.

[–]matt01ss[S] 8 points9 points ago

There's been a lot of questions around gifs lately, I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous lol. I was considering making a small video on making gifs with After Effects since that's all I know.

[–]RoblesZX 2 points3 points ago

That would be awesome. I've tried so many different ways to make gifs and they have never turned out as well as this one in such a small file size.

[–]clived2 0 points1 point ago

Awesome post

Replying for future use

[–]Sp4m 0 points1 point ago

Thank you! I'll give this a shot tonight.

[–]Waydizzle 0 points1 point ago

OP delivers again!

[–]InjectThePoison 0 points1 point ago

Noob questions inbound:

How did you extract it to .avi?

How'd you edit it to only a few seconds? Every attempt at trimming a video has utterly failed for me.

[–]matt01ss[S] 1 point2 points ago

MKVExtract2.0 can be used to extract the video track from the mkv. This will product a .h264 file.

MP4BoxGUI Will load in the .h264 file and Mux it down to an avi file.

At this point you can use any video editing software you'd like. I use Sony Vegas 10 to cut and splice parts of the video into the segments I like. I then Render that video as an h264 mp4 file which will be loaded into After Effects for editing.

[–]skakruk 3 points4 points ago

I think he uses a computer.

[–]E_lucas 4 points5 points ago

Not op, but I use this program. Some really good quality options, along with sizing or the gif frames themselves.

Can't add text or anything like that, it's just a straight video->gif conversion, so it might not be exactly what you're looking for.

[–]xeixei 1 point2 points ago

I would like to know as well. Much appreciate!

[–]Kaboose666 17 points18 points ago

Good quality, good size, and less than 2Mb, I like this.

[–]circle_ 9 points10 points ago

Fuckin' magic, man.

[–]vandidant 4 points5 points ago

You should encode entire movies like this, think of all the megabytes we could save!

[–]ReynbowHomo 7 points8 points ago

Movies in GIF form! Now, we just need to invent a technology that attaches audio to the GIF! Hmmm....

[–]Wes1180 1 point2 points ago

Close enough

Or /r/GifSound

[–]ObligitoryPuzzleRoom 2 points3 points ago

I'm in the same boat as RoblesZX. I'd love to know how you made this.

Thank you.

[–]niton 10 points11 points ago

Fuck...Watching him mouth the words in that size actually made my brain feel like it was hearing him say it. It was very very soft but I had to check for a second to make sure I wasn't actually hearing something. The brain is such a weird thing...

[–]xlunacii 10 points11 points ago

This made my heart smile

[–]loke574 6 points7 points ago

[–]ThatIsMyHat 2 points3 points ago

Clearly you gave enough of a shit to make that awesome gif!

[–]Wilcows 2 points3 points ago

It's mesmerizing how 3D his head looks in this gif

Why is Morgan Freeman such a loveable guy? I feel like he's my long lost Father and I'm a white guy!!

[–]just_wrong -1 points0 points ago

The point of GIFs are that they are small.

2 MB is not small.

[–]serosis 0 points1 point ago

You on a 56k modem or are you just being frugal about two megabytes?

[–]Exaskryz 0 points1 point ago

You should've thrown more support behind apng then.
