How To Gif: Glass Shatter Effect
By popular demand (ie, 7 people who voted in this poll), here is a tutorial on how to do the glass shatter effect I used to create the first gif in this set.
I use Photoshop CC 2015 (yes I know it's old) for my gifmaking, but you should be able to apply everything to newer versions of Photoshop. For this tutorial I'll be assuming you know the gifmaking basics, but if not, I would recommend this tutorial, which is the process I use to make gifs. Note that this particular process involves saving all of the frames, importing those frames into Photoshop, and then using an action to convert to a smart object.
Keep reading below the cut to learn how to do this effect!
Before I could start making this gif, I needed three things; the two scenes that I wanted to use, and a video of the glass shattering effect. I already knew the scenes I wanted, so then I took to YouTube to find a video which I can't for the life of me find again, but it looked like this:
Something like this is what you want. Ideally the green part would be entirely white, but as long as there are two clearly different colours you can usually work with it.
This looks a lot slower than the gif that I made, but that's not because of the frame rate - which is exactly the same above as in the final gif - it's just because there are extra frames in this slower one that I cut out. In the video I used, the glass shattering happened very slowly. I didn't want that, so I ended up skipping several frames when I loaded the frames into Photoshop before using my gifmaking action. I just did this by manually selecting one frame, skipping the next several before selecting another frame, and repeating this until I had selected 60 frames.
After using my gif action, I had a smart object of the glass shatter effect that looked like this:
That's a much better speed! It still wasn't quite where I needed it to be though. I needed this in black and white, so I slapped a hue/saturation adjustment on the smart object and set the saturation all the way down to -100.
Okay great, I could start putting the gif together now.
First, I made a copy of the glass shatter smart object, because I'll need that later. Then, I pulled in frames from the scene that I wanted to appear in the hole after the glass shatters, and I used those to create a new smart object with my gif action (we'll call it Scene-bg). I pulled Scene-bg into the same window as the glass shatter objects. Then I created a new smart object by combining one of the glass shatter objects with Scene-bg, which I did by selecting both layers right clicking, and selecting "Convert to Smart Object".
I renamed this smart object to Shatter-fg. I opened it by clicking on the little icon next to the layer name in the layers window here:
The most important thing here is that the shatter effect object should be the top layer, and I set the mode to "lighten". This will make sure that the lightest colour of either this layer and the layer behind it is displayed; that means that anywhere that's white in our shatter animation will still show up, but anywhere that's black we'll see what's in the layer(s) behind it.
Then I threw some adjustment layers between them to get the colouring I wanted. I used a curves layer, a hue/saturation layer, and I also added text with an outer glow layer effect. Here's what the layer order looked like and the settings I used for each layer:
After this process, Shatter-fg looked like this:
Okay nice, this is starting to look like something! I saved this and went back to the main file with the other glass shatter object.
I needed to invert that other glass shatter object. There's a weird quirk with the version of Photoshop that I use where it doesn't like it when I apply specifically an invert adjustment to a smart object (it appears correctly when editing, but not on export) so I did this by creating a new smart object which included a separate invert layer, but if you have a newer version of Photoshop you can probably just apply the invert adjustment directly. Just note that you'll need to do one of these options; it won't work if you add a separate adjustment layer in the main file, it needs to be applied specifically to the smart object (which we'll now be calling Shatter-bg). It looked like this after I inverted it:
Once that's done, I made sure Shatter-fg was the layer directly above Shatter-bg, and set the mode of Shatter-fg to "darken" and Shatter-bg to "lighten". Since Shatter-fg is set to darken, it will be visible only when it is darker than the layer behind it. By setting Shatter-bg to lighten, I've guaranteed that the layer behind it will always be lighter (ie, white) in the places we want Shatter-fg to be visible, and will be black otherwise. Once I update those settings, this is what the gif looked like:
This is all there is to the glass shatter effect itself. Next I pulled in frames from the second scene to fill in the black areas. This layer needed to go below both glass shatter layers, so that it only shows through where the black. Then I added adjustment layers and some text. I used curves, hue/saturation, and vibrance adjustment layers, and I also added the "archer" text below the glass shatter layers so that it would be hidden to reveal the "prey" text. The other text I added above all of the layers, since I wanted this to be visible all the time. Here is the layer order and all of the settings I used for each of the layers:
I also grouped Shatter-bg and Shatter-fg and shifted them on the timeline so there would be some time to see the background gif before the shatter effect starts.
And that's all! Then it''s just a matter of exporting the finished product:
This is the first gifmaking tutorial I've ever made, so I hope I was able to be reasonably coherent and helpful! I'd love to hear if you make anything by following these steps, or even if you just feel like you've learned something reading through this. And if you have any outstanding questions, feel free to reply or send me an ask and I'd be happy to answer!

saw brittana s2 era being related to are we still friends by tyler the creator
#juno speaks#oh my goddd…#“are we still friends? can we be friends?”#when you apply the locker scene where santana says britt staring at her is causing her to forget her locker combo… ohh#because britt literally says “did i do something wrong are you mad at me. i miss being close” (not a direct quote but that’s essentially#what she said) and like. my god. because during the s2 era they heavily drifted due to santana’s confession. it wasn’t the confession itself#that drove them apart#more so santana’s own decision to distance herself due to her fear of rejection and#since she got rejected#her subsequent bitter behavior to deflect from what happened and the embarrassment and shame she felt not Only bc she admitted to liking#girls. Liking BRITTANY. but also bc she didn’t even get what she wanted in the end and now people may know and now BRITT knows so she can’t#just go back to being normal and she’s stressed and hurt and upset and she just doesn’t wanna talk to anyone#she just wants to be straight and normal and she wants things to be normal but she can’t handle the idea of facing brittany at all so she#just drifts away from her so brittany desperately tries to fix things and become santana’s best friend again#they’re a two shot they’re best friends they need each other they went from inseparable to not even speaking outside of maybe glee club#it’s got an effect on the both of them and brittany wants to fix whatever happened and go back to being close but santana won’t even tell#her what’s wrong so she has to figure it out for herself (“can we be friends?”)#the song essentially repeats those two lines a lot but they can be applied to more than just that locker scene too#you could apply them to santana denying dancing w brittany/wearing the lebanese shirt because she’s denying brittany’s attempt to not only#fix their relationship but also help santana accept herself. she can’t accept that and all brittany wants is for them to be friends but#in that moment it seems as if santana won’t even accept that they ARE friends#and then in 2x19 she doesn’t accept that well now that artie isn’t in the picture they COULD be more than that (“don’t say goodbye” lowkey)#like santana’s just so closed off it seems like they’re not friends and they can’t even be that and they could never be more either#auuvuh… does this even make sense… losing my mind#gleeposting

oh fun other updates: i watched the rhps for the first time ever* on halloween and i cannot begin to describe the pure joy that i felt the whole time. it was like being on a particularly violent and lusty rollarcoster. zero notes.
#*not including the glee episode#this is a lie i do have notes but they're all very positive aside from the laser effects at the end which is pretty minimal in that. well#it's from the 70s#the music was fun the jokes were funny and i need more sex drugs and violence complete with a frankenstein-centric story#in my life. tbh. as someone who LOVES all of those things#also if anyone has any pictures of . brad in the corset getup can you ssend them to me. i'm normal and have average reasons#for wanting them. thanks 👍#i'm normal about men in corsets discovering things about themselves

started reading the intro of prairie fairies today and im just. feeling so vindicated and scribbling a bunch of quotes down but something that really gets me is how korinek points out that in a canadian history context basically the only reference to the prairies - not just in queer history but its suggested more broadly - that we are trapped in this Settlement-to-Great Depression period Forever. one minute theres the experience of heteronormative married euro settlers who mysteriously vanish into the Unknown West and turn up in isolated queer homesteads, and the next minute “nope there is nothing queer outside of the three major cities because being queer anywhere rural - or urban for that matter - on the prairies is a death sentence so they just don’t exist.’ there’s no attention paid to contemporary prairie queerness in scholarship at all until this point and it just has me screaming from the rooftops because as depressed and upset and Angry that i feel about last night i am watching conservative hellberta crack like an egg and i am going to be around to see what hatches from it so help me.
#hapo rambles#hapo reads canadian history#hapo reads queer history#boss calls it the MTV effect of queer history and contemporary life only reserved for Montreal Toronto Vancouver#so i'm adoping that forever now hahaha#everywhere else can look at us and act unsurprised about the blue every year#and i am rubbing my hands with glee because the conservative identity politics are eroding slowly and painfully and i will hear the dying ga#gasp that is
