couw Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 (edited) Inspired in part by the BN Screensaver and by a lazy weekend, I spend some time with photoshop and a collection of BN covers and came up with some animated covers. I hope my output will inspire others here on the board. I know there are some true animation kings among us. So let's have a ball! I like this one, but as an avatar, it belongs to Parkertown I never took the effort of inverting this great pic until now. my new avatar: my favorite "funny one": not very satisfied with this one: the very first one I made: you will buy this record.... you will buy this record...

couw Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 I am in AW (as in: "Aw, I wish I could do that"). Seriously, these are fantastic. Any way of enlarging them? Greedy request, I know... I have larger versions, I made these avatar sized to have yet another restraint considering picture and file size. The originals are from that Japanese BN vinyl cover site and are appr. 500 pixels square and several Kbytes. I'd be happy to share them, but I don't have them with me now. I'll bring them along.

couw Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Hans, may I make Horace my new avatar? Pretty please? PJ Peter: go ahead! These are for sharing, so if anyone wants to have one as an avatar, I'd be really honoured. It's John BTW, not Hans, that's that other dude from the Netherlands... :rsly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 This is probably a dumb question but how the heck do you do that. Thought the Milt one was really neat. On how to do this: it's easy! You preferably need photoshop w/ ImageReady installed. There are other gif-animation programmes out there, but photoshop integrates the animation function with the coolest photo edit programme around. Then you need a lot of time... I can tell you: the idea is the EASY part, the execution can be really cumbersome. Like with the Milt cover: I had to extract each of the little balls and animate it seperately. Pity you hardly notice that in the resulting gif. The reconstruction of the background image can also be a drag (like w/ the Dexter, the Young, and the Milt). You simply make a lot of layers, each with a frame or a part of it. ImageReady lets you pick the layers you want to display, for how long, and in what order. I only really learned how to do this recently and this exercise is definitely good to improve one's skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
