My monthly mobile data plan consumed in seconds. I hate html video autoplays, especially on mobile! Unfortunatelly it appears that it is currently not possible to disable it in Kiwi browser... EDIT: someone on Reddit suggested AutoplayStopper extension
There should be a warning in the title, "(website has large data size)" or somethlike that.

It's a visual technique library for the creative industry. Ad-folk, Directors, Cinematographers, Editors, and Creatives in general. It's a compilation (library) of all the best techniques categorized by type.
That isn’t at all obvious from the frontpage. You probably want to keep the design lean, so just a simple “about” in small font would help to explain. The autoloading is also problematic on mobile/tablet but others already chipped in with solutions.

#134Hello! My name is Jacobi. I made Eyecandy. I'm appreciating seeing suggestions. Is there anything you want me to try on the website? Anything I could improve?
Gifs have large file sizes and poor image quality. Replace them with videos and you’ll improve page load, reduce bandwidth costs (for yourself and your users), and have better quality. You can configure HTML video to (by default) show no controls and auto-loop so they’ll be indistinguishable from gifs on a first look, but better in every other way.

Also, is https://eycndy.com/crab-shot?itemId=cxns025fad8r33ene8rmxxnw... actually a trucking / crab shot? For me it's just a pan.

Gifs have limitations and limitations benefit art.
BTW: https://gif.ski can work around most of the visual limitations of GIF, so only poor compression remains.

Love this site, how long did it take to build? Would be cool to see clips of behind the scenes showing camera placement and set/crew
Love that idea. I'm starting to roll out pages dedicated to each shot (when you click on it) that go into detail about it. The crew, the story, and eventually BTS and 'how to's' on how to make it. https://eycndy.com/fixed-object-schoolboy-dope-dealer

These pages are using gif rather than video. That also contributes to more data consumed, because gif has very basic compression. So in addition to an extension to disable auto play of videos for other pages, you probably need a different extension to disable gifs.
