Candace Bailey Mega-Post!

This week's spotlight is on 30-year-old Attack of the Show Co-Host, redhead, and former (Junior Olympic) gymnast Candace Bailey. Nearly every single frame has been treated to some form of post-processing, so if you're looking at these and saying, "Hey...these look different from the originals--!", that's why.

Did some cropping, BCS edits, color, etc. (see below) to bring out the details. Some of these are large-ish; check the stats below each thumbnail. Anyways:


Candace Bailey's Bouncing Boobies

Proof that even small-breasted women can 'get their bounce on' given enough gravity and stoppage-of-motion, here we see Candace bounding down the stairs and right into the arms of The Walking Dead creator, Robert Kirkman, after being chased through Comic-Con by zombies.

I guess she was workin' up a sweat during filming, because you can clearly see a dark mound of wetness through those skimpy leggings 'down there':

Catwoman Costume Cavorting

From one-hour special Attack of the Show attacks Comic-Con, we get Candace dressed as an adorable Catwoman in tight-fitting black leather and wielding a riding crop (which breaks during filming), showing off some moves next to Chris Hardwick, who's bein' his usual Hardwick-y Nerdist self. Some nice jiggling here, too:

Sexy Summer Beach Bikini

This is from the AOTS July 23rd 'Threads' segment. They say 'stripes make you look fatter', but here, on Candace in a blue and white bikini, I tend to disagree:

Lounging in Lingerie for Maxim 2011

Continuing right along, here are all the good scenes from Candace's super-sexy Maxim 2011 photoshoot. Grouped by 'Activity' for your viewing pleasure:


Purple Bra and Black Panties Pull-down

Candace is practically pulling off her panties in this one--! Ooh la la! Just a little lower if you would, Miss:

Tumbling Gymnastics Upside-Down Crotch Shots

Here, Candace shows us she's still got those limber Junior Olympic moves, even dressed in lingerie. Damn, that girl has some nice abs, too: :thumbsup:

Divine Denim and Pink Panties

A cut-off jeans jacket, and a nice v-shaped brief. "Here, Miss - can I take your jacket?", he asked her, chivalrously:

Beige Bikini Boob Poking and Crotch Lingering

Doing a little 'adjusting' of stuff for the camera; second one also pauses on her bottom brief while she's adjusting her shoes. My favorite outfit - probably because it's the skimpiest:



1st: 143 Frames | 708 x 399 | 25.5 MB

I hate having to cut scenes mid-action, hopefully you'll agree that the size increase on some of these was worth it.

-------------

In case some folks're interested in 'process flow', what I do with these (image post-processed) GIFs is to first extract the frames, decide how I want the final print to look, manually edit ~3-4 images to get an approximate 'working template', and then build a scene-specific script to run as a batch job.

Since most scenes are short (2-3s), you can generally get away with having one script for the entire sequence, but if there are lighting or other changes, sometimes you need more (or do 'em all by hand, which gets tedious fast.)

:arrow: A typical script might look like this:

<Crop> <Resize> <Histogram Stretch> <Color Adjust - Hue/Saturation/Lightness> <Clarify> <Brightness/Contrast> <Highlight/Midtone/Shadow> <Color Balance> <Fade Correction> <Black/White Points> <Backlight> <Fill Flash>

...etc.

Regarding resizing: Since we're not constrained to typical size limitations a la x16 video, you can (in theory) make the canvas size whatever you want, but I've found it best to use either 1) half the initial size, or 2) make both the height and width divisible by an integer (with no remainder), as it gives more predictable results using both Lanczos and Bicubic resampling.

So in the case of - let's say, reducing 720p video to 1/3 size instead of 1/2 (which would give you a whole number for both H x W ) - I generally prefer to crop the left and right pixel (i.e. down to 1278 ) off the video first, then resize the frame.

Then, you simply import into your favorite GIF maker, and away you go!

Cheers,

Some of these might as well be posted as movie clips.
I think the best gifs are more web freindly, don't take so long to load.
Careful frame elimination that doesn't make it jerky takes time but imo worth it.

 

Great Job Lurker!! I don't get the Candace hater-aide on the AOTS forums. I think she's great on the show.

 

Or get a decent connection. Some people respect the effort these guys put in

Nice GIFS and thread. Candice is perfect. Yowzaa.

I have used a free hosting site called minus that works great for GIFS as they allow 10mb. Just a heads up. I have used them and they work great. In case that hasn't already been mentioned.
