hi! I was wondering how you color in the background of gifs when characters are moving a lot? I can do it when they hardly move, but as soon as they do, they become the colour of background and it looks horrible😫
honestly it is better to use scenes where the characters dont move much or that already has the colour, also depends on what you use to change the colour of the background.
If you use the brush tool and paint over the gif on a gifset with lots of movement then it will impossible to avoid the character to become the colour of the background.
You can try erasing part of the colour on the layer mask but it will be static so a part of the background might stay with the old colour.
I dont have the file anymore but in the middle gifset of steve looking down, i tried as much as i could changing the background with colour balance and selective colour and then painted over some parts with yellow so it was more natural.
You can see on the right shoulder i left the original window colour. That's because it looked better to leave it like that so the part of the wall i couldnt paint (chin-neck) when steve looks down doesnt look like a weird white spot.
You can use the hard way (sometimes it is not worh it) which is duplicating the colour layer and move it on the timeline but sometimes this doesnt work, looks well or it just takes too long (better to use it on gifs with few frames). Its pretty much painting frame by frame on the timeline
The first and last gifset have that method. I changed the colours with the selective colour tool. If you look closely to the first gif, near steve´s ears, you can an orange-y colour. That's were i duplicated many of the pink selective colour layers, lowered the opacity and began erasing little by little so the pink didnt get into his ears and face. The last gifset is even worse cause i use it to keep the shirt and jacket colour instead of it turning pink.
This is how it looks when i do the same process to make the gifset blue. The hue/saturation layer i use it to make the thing faster is duplicated and i check frame by frame if the color is affecting certain part i want.
The erased parts are only for steve´s face on the last gif so his ears are not pink
with layer mask
without layer mask (his ears and neck are purple)
Other thing is how you order your colouring/layers. I explained it a little here.
It is always better to separate the subject from the background, specially when it comes to red background cause the skin tone always has those tones. (tho i dont know how to explain that part rip)
But for example you can have a gif with purple and blue in the background and you want it only blue. The first thing you do is check if that purple can be changed with the selective colour in magenta.
Using the magenta selective colour first stops the blue parts to change (like would happen if you tried changing the purple with the blue selective colour). There are times the whole background changes, but it depends on the shade of the colour. (link goes to another explanation i did before)
