The Begining of the End

And so we reach the editing process =O we made it this far!!
well after a good 20 mins of uploading we managed to get all the photos onto the mac and then hit our first bump, where to edit them into a drawn style, so we cooked up jerry and talked about what we wanted to do, we found a great chalk and charcoal effect on photoshop which we loved, it was exactly what we wanted but then we realsied that we would have to put the effect on each photo one by one, to 7000 photos... *cry* jerry suggested another program..the name has left me, where we couldconvert all the images at once, but just have to wait for the computer to do it itself, the downfall to this was that we couldnt have the sketch effect, just making it black and white. So at the end of transfering 26 photos into sketch and at the end of lunch we decided that it would be a good idea to go off and get our heads around what we want to do about it.

Film Friday, Like a Normal Friday but with Film

Well Well we've manage to finally get all of our photos done and down.. all 7000 of them =/. the day was a great success and went off without a hitch involved,Robyn was a star and did everything we wanted of here. We headed up home around about 4ish with memory cards full to the brim with photo gold, 7000 worth, but we had hoped we had taken enough photos too cover all our titles. well i say without a hitch, but i guess you can never reli avoid those mid day dog walkers can you? =]

Storybord

Well with me away on holiday and kirsty away presumably to do with her hospital plans, Ross decided that it'd be best for him to get on with a storybord, as he says, he didnt draw every frame as to why it may look a bit jumpy

Oh Here Comes Our First Attempt

So we've had our first attempt at getting those photos as Kirsty was due to go into hospital just after christmas and i on holiday. But the day didnt go without its problems and many flaws. We headed out with just the one camera as my was otherwise engaged in other antiques.. thats just the begining. Forgetting its the winter, forgetting how quickly it got dark and forgetting we live in the U.K. we hadn't managed one shot before it had even gotten to dark for the camera to pick anything up, which lead to the flashhaving to be used, which would have been no problem had we been able to take asmany photos as we could have without it. But with the flash overheating and only getting one or two photos every 2-3 seconds we decided to call it a day, but the day hadn't gone a waste as we still managed to gt some good shots and some new ideas such as the 'freak out' shots where the character would breakdown and change from one personality to another.
