💌 ADMIN PICKS

Layla: @baek1nho - my country set: while i haven't watched my country i always enjoyed seeing its gifs all over my dash all the time and this set of yours is quite beautiful! i love the transition technique you used here showcasing how their friendship evolved, and the coloring as always is pretty, with good typography! such a great talent you have sara💓💓💓!

Sam: @therukurals - kingdom fall set: this drama is still on my watchlist but this is such a stunning set gil! the colors are *chefs kiss* and the wideshots are phenomenal. the full body costume shots and the all the red-oranges. i especially love the framing and shots you chose. so many great details in this set ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎

Alexa: @dramaism - Nokdu set: Jey the colors in this set are absolutely STUNNING! The Tale of Nokdu forever has my heart as a historical drama and this is such a pretty set to capture the relationship between Nokdu and Dongju. The rainbow gradient is gorgeous and the gifs are so sharp. Truly just a gorgeous set all around!! <3

Sya: @kateknowsdramas - My Dearest set Ahh..what can I say. It is one of my favourite historical drama, so much pain, so much yearning, so much courage. All you ever need in this genre. Thank you for creating My Dearest sets, and capturing important moments with your natural and sharp colouring! Some of the scenes are sooo dark and grey/red, but you manage to colour it so visually pleasing to the eyes. Well deserved of this month's theme!

@kateknowsdramas !!! She's the bestest!

Do you think his child will say "Dad" first? Let him get married first.

4: What do you think makes your style distinctly yours?

idk... my style have changed a lot the last few months, so maybe well contrasted, natural coloring style? you know less is more!

30: What do you enjoy the most about the creative process?

CAPPING -i'm old school-!! as i get to re-watch fav moments again and again.... also before saving the gifs i have that one final look at before/after and feel proud of the final result....

37: Is there anything you would like to improve from your editing?

fonts and texts!! i've always been bad when it comes to them be it icons, gifs or graphics, the amount of sets that originally had some text over them but i ended up using the textless versions... but that doesn't stop me from trying from time to time...

47: What advice would you give to someone who’s just started creating?

keep experimenting, don't be afraid of making some mistakes and errors, keep learning and don't hesitate asking for advices and tips lots of content creators are happy to help! also it's okay to use one/two psds for all your content as long as you adjust it to fit the scene you're working on, i still do that when i get lazy 🙈...

ah smooches for you!!!! thank you!!! 🤧💞💘
