# Use a sturdy tripod (tape it down or something so it doesn't budge)
and set the camera to stay focused (don't use auto lighting). This way the background stays stable and it will optimize much better.

# Your drummer (below) is crystal clear (and impressive).
The light levels play around a bit in the billiards one above (like the camera is auto-adjusting).

So GIF optimization needs to redo the whole image, not just the animated bit.

/edit: The billiards one is fantastic, too. Don't get me wrong. I'm just pointing out technical stuff Shadows and everything add to the final size/hinder optimization.

# i know
i made that one in work without my lamp and with there rubbish cam

the shadow is caused by me not standing on the same spot so it cast a different shadow every time.
