Photoshopper needed

[Adad]

I am in need of a photoshop artist with skills beyond my own.  For my movie I'm looking for a simple image of a hand, character's in MxO type hand in a gray suit so has gray sleeves, holding a piece of paper that simply reads "What is the Matrix?" in black, handwritten type text.  It needs to be 720x480 or larger with the same ratio.  Please let me know if you can help.  Here's the gist of what it should look like, but it should have an indoor room from the game in the background instead of just transparant.  THANKS.



(It is actually transparant, behind the rectangle paper, but on here, obviously you can't tell)

I might be able to offer my assistance.  I just need to figure out how to get a screenshot of a hand in that type of pose.

[Adad]

that help at all?

Also, does anyone know a semi-simple way to extract the character from images like this?  I have unfortunately decided that this is the best way to create a shot I'm trying to make in my movie, so I have 72 of these to take Adad out of.  Please let me know if there are any suggestions.  It's like green screen without the screen....

Are you able to film these against a plain background or wall?

[Adad]

Not really, I've been looking ingame for that.... nothing that I could find.  Part of the problem is that everything is tinted green, including the character.  I tried to find a way to frame it in front of one of the huge green road signs, but no luck.  Any suggestions on that?  I slightly know how to use the chroma key/green screen key to make that work if I could find a way to shoot it like that.

You can take off the green tint in your advanced video options. It's in the middle column, towards the top, I believe. Just be sure that you film your entire movie in either one setting or the other. Don't change back and forth.

Try the white hallways, using the organization key to get to the hallways. That should be your best bet.

[Adad]

That's actually not a bad idea, thanks ana

Well, I think I mentioned to you a bit ago a game/program called The Movies that would be very useful in filming scenes that cannot be filmed or are difficult to be filmed in-game using animated characters.

There is even an option to film against a green screen or to import screenshots into the game to use as a background for filming.  Let me know what is involved in the scene(s) you'd need and I'll let you know if its possible with The Movies.  I'd even be willing to load up this program and film the scenes you need.  I can do some cool stuff with camera movements and stuff too.

For an example of what can be done with The Movies, look up The Movies Online and search for Zannder in the list of available Movies to watch.

yea I tried to get into that game, but the two won't really mix well as far as MxO content and stuff shot in that.  I have to be wearing the suit  I'm wearing in game, etc.  Good idea, but I think this photoshop thing may work...I'm about a third of the way done already.

[Adad]

but you know...I love the way u write, and could use a 2nd and 3rd act... I think Venlar is gone now so I don't know who's gonna help me write them...

[Phienyx]

I can help with that as well.  Give me an outline of the events that need to occur in those acts and I'll start working on it.

Just FYI, I'm currently working on my character's story also, but I'm having a writer's block moment so this may be the break I need.

YOu could always use the white halls for a solid background.

Manic, any chance you've gotten the time to try that hand/paper pic for me??
