Re: From the light of a different sun
And yet another, this one because I actually happened to be watching the movie and had this idea.
A very, very long time ago, I made the comment that while Eli might have been snoozing safely in her tub, she was still very much an active (if hidden) player in what the townspeople saw. Kids were about to start screaming because they'd just spotted Jocke's body on stage left, and Connie has just begun to scream on stage right because of Eli's words to him: "You have to hit back. Hard." I didn't see an easy way to include both the stage left and stage right in a single shot without it being outrageously hamhanded, but plopping her spirit into the scene was easy enough, and fun!

Guess who Oskar's looking at?

Terrific use of red. Did you turn that up or was it that way in the original?

I don't remember doing anything to the screen capture of the ice scene. What you see is what VLC saw. As for everything Eli underwent to become this ghost, well... some stories are better left untold.gkmoberg1 wrote:Terrific use of red. Did you turn that up or was it that way in the original?

Re: From the light of a different sun
Perfect, it ain't. Messing with layers, colours and transparency. I'm finding two things: cutting and pasting can be awfully frustrating if you're concerned with being faithful to WILD HAIR, and that images taken from different sources can be the very devil to match for colour.

Very funny and very precious.

Re: From the light of a different sun
This one, too, was sorta easy. Chopped a girl's head off, and put it right back onto her own body, but from a different movie. Played with colours a bit, hated it, and so "oilified" it.
