"Wow, I actually learnt something at college"

As part of our media course, on Friday afternoons we're herded into a room full of macs to use Photoshop/Flash/Freehand etc. Although I'd messed around in Flash before, I'd never used Photoshop and had never even heard of Freehand (now I own all three programmes)

Anyway, today I decided to use my Photoshop skills and make something. I scanned in the booklet from my Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, stuck "Jo & Silent Ben Strike Back" over the title, put my friend Joanne's head on Jay, her boyfriend Ben's head on Bob, my head on Affleck, my sister's kitten (whom my friend loves) on Ferrell, Jules from Pulp Fiction's head on Chris Rock, Jo's friend Lisa on Shannon's head and an ugly kid called Sparham's head on Lee. Too bad the skin colours don't match up with the neck and bodies, but it doesn't look too bad

So, hurrah, something I learnt at college actually came in useful. I used layers, I used the cutting tools, I rotated stuff, I changed the brightness/contrast etc... Yep, I'm a genuine computer nerd now

I only entered this topic to read BEARDS.


Time well spent

Not until you can do it in under 10 minutes on a topical subject and get it frontpaged on b3ta.

The Games Factory is a little known programme that allows you to make your own 2D games, like platformers, or if you're good at it (like I never was) more advanced stuff. For the last year or so I've just been using it to make mini films and cutscenes etc

Im 15 and I get paid to make website. *sigh* These are the days.

Freehand is fantastic :)

I got paid money to learn that and then produce something in Director 7 when I was 15.

Those were the days.

Sorry, but I've spent the last 8 years using a programme called The Games Factory (and it's different versions) In that time, I barely used anything else, so I'm pretty much pap with any other programme.

I have to use other people's passwords at college, because for some reason it's stopped accepting mine. I always come on here, and start posting. One day, SOMEBODY is bound to come on this site and post as me accidentily

Anyway, BEARDS., what was your post? Before you deleted it

Ahh well, you wouldnt catch Tony doing anything like that!

Beards, you're in my spoof, "The good the GAD and the ugly" if you want to read it.. You die though, as does Tony.

Just to let you know Mo.

I could do that when I was twelve :P

Get with the times. :P
