First thanks for the feedback .

I would love to answer your question but I'm not quite sure what you are referring to. Can you come up with another description? I don't recall doing anything special for Cape May.

P.S I have one of those cool Star Wars pictures too!

OK, I got your PM but I don't know how to send you one back so I will answer it here.

I call those video panels they are sometimes called title shots. I make them in Photoshop Elements. I will use several layers to make just one. Some take a long time to do and some are quick. I will sometimes layer several in the video program to simulate animation. On day 3 for example the "lunch time" graphic and the "Mickey's Toon Town Fair" look like animation but it is a very clever yet simple trick. The Epcot one is a blue gradient for the background, I drew a circle for the abstract Spaceship Earth, and figment is clip art from a web page that I removed the background in and added a bevel to him so he wont appear flat. All these tricks are simple to do but look really complicated when they are done. My personal favorites are, The Busch Gardens one from day 2, (the animals are from a font I found on the web) Stormalong Bay from day 4, and Typhoon Lagoon day 5. If you would like to try these yourself here is a tip. For great backgrounds start taking digital pictures of textures. I must look like an imbecile to most people because I am always taking pictures of walls, tree bark, palm fronds, pavement and other textures. The backdrop for the Thunder Mt graphic was from a rock wall in AK. Goofy looks painted on a wooden fence in the Stormalong Bay panel. That is actually a large wooden door in the rear of the Morocco Pavilion at Epcot. Those same techniques are great for scrap booking too. Textured pictures can be printed out and cut into frames or used as an embellishment under a photo to create a boarder.

That was a very good question if you want more info about them let me know.
One more thing, if you want to try this in your own video the size for a picture needs to be 640x480 pixels.

I love answering technical questions they make me feel smart

 

[scottny]

WOW!!!!
that does sound complicated but I think I may try it. I love the way it looks especially the Goofy one.
Thanks for the info, cannot wait to see more of your videos.

Link for day 6 part 1 is on the first post

Yes part 1. It is shorter than the others. I didn't have enough for 2 whole videos so instead of over editing this one or releasing a part 2 that is only 3 minutes I split the day down the middle. This one goes to lunch.

Part 2 is already 15% done.
Once again I appreciate your patients and comments.

Great job again, Chris! It was funny seeing you with video camera in hand on the ride photo!

Did you do anything else at AK besides EE, Dinosaur and Primevil Hurl? No safari? No Nemo or FotLK?

GF Cafe looks good!
