User blog:BBilge/This site really needs: revamped ability animations

I think the champion ability detailing project is a great idea but before the animation graphics go any further some of the problems with them need to be addressed.


 * Videos must be deinterlaced.
 * Interlacing is causing the detail to be obscured. This is probably a capture or conversion error since the source material isn't rendered interlaced.


 * Videos need to be cropped to the action.
 * Dragon flapping its wings in 50% of the shot is an unnecessary distraction when the aim of the animation is to detail a champion ability. Correct cropping can enlarge the important part of the shot making detail clearer.


 * Summoner names need to be turned off.
 * If any personally identifiable information leaks into the shot after cropping it should be considered invalid and redone.


 * The GIF palette need to be optimized.
 * At the moment it looks like a web-safe palette given the graininess of the image. I realise it's a full colour image but I'm pretty sure Photoshop and other graphics applications ship with better adaptive algorithms. Though this is conjecture, investigation is recommended.
