nice!

Is that your kid? Better watch out for land mines!

[kimko]

wow i had to look at that over and over. thats bloody good!

[J.R. Hudson]

Thanks!

Now picture it with MOTION!

[kimko]

jeesh...is this the new short?

[J.R. Hudson]

I never was 100% satisified with the Landis helmed Twilight Zone episode

[David Jimerson]

Well, to be fair, a death on location will jinx any shoot.

[kai]

Great job! You're right, now make it move! :)

[GenJerDan]

I never was 100% satisified with the Landis helmed Twilight Zone episode

I doubt Vic was, either. ;-)

John

I'm really impressed - the first treated grab looks best in my opinion - very 'Namish

All you need to do now is get yourself an Inferno or something of that nature and put this into motion, comon meng!

[MattC]

John,

You should really get this book: http://www.photoshopmasking.com/

You can get it on Amazon, but I picked up a copy at Borders. This chick writes some of the best image manipulation books I've read. She didn't write is specifically for our purposes, but she may as well have. Very good book.

Matt

[TC]

Damn, that's REALLY good, John!

[JoeNash]

i want PS skills like that

[J.R. Hudson]

Thanks dudes (TC!)

It's seriously jusy simply opacity, screening and layers.

Thats it

[Rich Lee]

hahaha...nice dude. go capture some shots from apoc now or something and comp them into some shots with your kid!

[J.R. Hudson]

When Rich syas it s good; then you can sleep.

[Rich Lee]

i love the rice-patty-worker crossing sign

[skettalee]

But what about the heli's propellars? Did you get that to move man? Id love to see the video footage to see how you got the motion going. That is pretty easy for me to do but not motion wise. Show a tutorial of the motion part of things. Or teach me and ill make one!

[JPatnaude]

I doubt Vic was, either. ;-)

Hey, how'd they know Vic had dandruff?

They found his head and shoulders in the bushes.
:grin:

(Voice of Larry the cable guy...)
"Lord I'm sorry about that..."

J Patnaude

[GenJerDan]

Tsk, tsk. That was terrible.

And I'm sure you'll feel bad about it on the morrow.

[Shaw]

I'll also vouch for Katrin Eismann. Talented woman. I haven't read that book but I've read some of her other writing and it's damn good! Now I'm going to have to find that book somehow!

[kimko]

hey John and Rich i want to do an action flick with you guys if you want me for an actor

[J.R. Hudson]

Deal. Send me the headshot! :)

[kimko]

Just Pm You .

[kai]

bummer i can't play it. What codec you using?

[David Jimerson]

And I'm sure you'll feel bad about it on the morrow.


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

It's Divx, a 200K download
I hate codecs.

Divx IS a codec... and a horrible one to boot.

[skettalee]

Really? Why dont you like divx? Its so good for quick downloads of long videos... Divx looks good for the compressing it does. Now you its not good for a final product to give out to someone but i think its the best besides mpeg4 h.264 codecs

[MattC]

I can definitely vouch for that book. It's awesome.

[skettalee]

Just bought the book. Cant wait to get it! Looks nice!

[Neil Rowe]

pic looks sweet john. great job.

[Noel Evans]

Been away so just catching up on what I missed... These shots look good. Very authentic feel.

[MattinSTL]

Thanks dudes (TC!)

It's seriously jusy simply opacity, screening and layers.

Thats it

I understand opacity and layers... what do you mean by screening? Is that like magnetic lasso or cut 'n paste with the magic wand?

Also when you said picture it with MOTION... there isn't a video file right? Because if this is something you have as video you better post it for us!

After all that all I can say is BRILLIANT!

I've been staring at it for 10 minutes.

(6 beers in a package that you can carry in one hand?! BRILLIANT!)

[NO CA$H]

That is awesome!

Man I gotta learn PS.

[J.R. Hudson]

Tks Ca$h

MattinSTL - Screening meaning another option of brush style. (No video; just imagined using similiar techniques with AE)

[somewestfilms]

That's awesome. It looks really good.

[blckhawk542]

John..i must admit...a few months ago u were a no0b at PS...but i think from doin maddd TUTs...u became a super beast at compositing.

Good shit!!

wanna write a short TUT for all of us? cuz i would definitly wanna learn how to do suttin like that for photos and videos..

[MattC]

Don't you think you have enough on your plate, with English 101 and all??

:D

[g0ldenb0y55]

I was messin' around and came up with this.

[J.R. Hudson]

Hey that's alright ! Nice job !

I like the sense of scale.

[g0ldenb0y55]

Thanks,

Thought I'd give a different prespective.

[Brandon Rice]

Yeah, that looks pretty tight g0ldenb0y!

[g0ldenb0y55]

Thanks Briceman.

[Jay Rodriguez]

I really like them John. Makes me want to start spending time with Photoshop again.

[spidey]

[g0ldenb0y55]

Looks good Spidey! I had the same Idea on including Godzilla to my version but decided not to.
