Title: Oversized amiga shirts, Buckingham Palace, sheep - that sort of thing...
Post by: Karlos on January 22, 2005, 03:25:52 PM
Believe it, folks!

We caught up with Kenny in George Square, Glasgow where he was seen sporting his new shirt during a night out. We obtained this exclusive pose :-D

I'd never actually wear it though. XXL is just too big for me. One gust of wind in my nice sunny country and I'd be on my way to Sweden. It's more a relic of Amiga history, a sort of grim memento morte. ;-)

I think "logically" it just wouldn't be as bright reflecting off Kenny's back. That's why it looks odd :-)

Nice work though. Is it me or does that boing ball look kinda like a breast?

my first impulse was to see the humor in your efforts and enjoy it just as it is and then my professional brain takes over and starts analysing what's "wrong" with it.

actually, there's nothing wrong. it's supposed to be funny, rediculous and not quite right.

it's more complex than that.
the figure is too bright to be in that dark background. even with a light directly on him. his back edges would be melding into the background shadows.
plus, the background is more redish and the figure is more bluish. that would have to balanced out with color curves.

you don't really what to know any of this, right? :lol:

oh, Snap! now I'm holding a class! :lol:

well, you went a bit too far, but that was a good effort.

The thing is that you made ALL his edges like this and the bottom of the shirt wouldn't have a shadow. (Yes, I know you just did a quick and dirty effect).

I would make mattes around various parts so I could control how dark certain edges get. I use AfterEffects for this sort of work. I'm used to it and I like it.

Also, in AE I can control the feathering of all edges and that helps to "marry" pieces of a comp togther.

plus, the color hasn't been corrected yet and that helps alot to create the illusion that peices belong in the same space.
but then, we already know you are color-challenged. So, i won't bug you about that. :-P

Post by: Karlos on January 22, 2005, 09:07:23 PM
Well, I did make the foreground layers redder but I can't really tell by how much - that's the problem...

I was going to crop the bottom off, but I couldn't be fagged :-)

well, he just looks pinker, rather than redder.
I swear, I'm not being unreasonable. (this is mostly for people just finding this thread and not quite realizing what's happening here)

I my past jobs, I have to think like this all day long. I have to alter effects sometimes by one number. sometimes alter a feathering by half a pixel. just to get it RIGHT.
I find this kind of fiddling quite interesting.

But then, i AM odd  :-P

One of the most interesting shots I had to do was one for "From the Earth to the Moon". There was this 16 mm footage from Gus Grissom's funeral (LBJ and other famous people were in it) Including Wally Shirah. I had to substitute the original Wally with the actor who was portarying him in this shot.
What I spent alot of time doing before I even started putting anything together was examining the colors and textures of this digitized 16mm film. It's different than stuff shot today.
and my job was to match that with the footage I had of the actor who was shot very crisply against blue screen.

man, what a job that was!

they need to be done separately - ergo the usefulness of mattes.
on some shots I've had as many as two dozen mattes. (maybe more. my memory on this is fuzzy).

anyway, as I think about this, the "trick" is to see this scene as 3 dimensional. you have to imagine not only what you see but what is behind and around the scene. like where is this light that "seems" to be on "Kenny"? what kind of light? where is it pointed? what color is it? and so on. i know there isn't a REAL light. but to make a composite work, you have to imagine these sorts of things. that affects how you have to alter things to fit inside this imagined place.

If I had to do this for a real job - and not a comedy moment - i would have fixed Kenny's face first thing. as it is now, all the information has been removed from it. whenever you lighten or overlighten an image you remove information.

a real job would hopefully have better source pic. altho, now always :-)

no, i haven't !
if anything it needs to be more vicious :-P

I made my little effort because after telling a friend of mine (who has nothing to do with amigas in any way) what the situation was he said they sounded like Boris and Natascia (Of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons).
I think it's actually a perfect characterization.

and a cartoon would be great. I mean, the lines have already been written!!! Just look at any of those animations and it looks like another adventure of Boris and Natascia trying to outwit "moose an' squirr-el" and falling down every time!

it's just TOO funny!:roflmao:

Well its pretty straight forward isn't it - in order to look like a real thug - (a real stereotypical Scottish miserable bugger who thinks the world owes him everything cos some English toff 1500 years ago stole a sheep from his great great aunt's, uncles, cousin's friend McDuff and buggered it on the lawn at Buckinham Palace...) Kenny is lacking a Scar ;-) :-D


see! I Knew there was a reasonable explaination!!!

Which reminds me....I've got pics of sheep somewhere.....hee hee......the saga continues......

First of all, sincere apologies to Kenny for the ongoing slanderous defamation of character. It's nothing personal, it's just that your image is too funny... :-D

So, in light of the recent script change, how about this?

@ Bobson

Go back to the hospital NOW and have that hand checked. Especially if the cut is on the palmar aspect, you could develop a nasty contracture or a tracking infection alongside the tendons. It's not worth taking chances with your dexterity.


@ Thread: sorry for off topic intrusion.

@ Xray

Thanks dude. My girlfriend works in a school so she called the school nurse over (who is a friend of hers). She examined my finger, checked its movement. It was a clean wound - no glass left in it (she was able to put the glass back together). She dissinfected and stiched it up for me, and told me to get a tetanus injection (she said it wasnt essential but as Ive not had one since I was 5, its best to lean on the side of caution).

It was better than sitting in a Casualty department for several hours. The weekend those places are full due to drunks, and people fighting.

well, it was thought that when women were unwell that they were having a "hysterical" reaction. and they went off to see the doctor. rich ladies especially went off to see Freud and others like him because, as we all know, womens' illnesses are All In Their Minds.

even when my mother was pregnant with me she was told her upset stomach or post nasel drip was all in her head.

ok, i'm saying some of this with a bit of sarcasim, but basically, there was a point during those days (and many days after) when women were thought of as quaint creatures with unknown and unknowable illnesses.

it's one of the reasons I don't trust doctors (or lots of others snobs).
