Your a genius ... I have an idea ...
Would you send me the original photos of the second half...
Ill send you a shared dropbox folder in a sec, if you could drop them into there?
just follow the instrutions if you dont already have drop box... its free and very easy to use!

you up for expanding on this slightly?
Id like to use it for an intro and outro to our RPF videos...
the second bit would make a great outro i reckon ...
Do you reckon you could draw our logo and make that into a video in the same way?
that would make a brilliant intro to the vids I reckon!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Haha!! That's soooo cool!!!

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Yeh, sure! where am i sending them to?
and ive never used Dropbox, but i am willing to give it a go. lol
i'd love to try the logo thing! good thinkin'
oh and thanks guys

 

[Hamish Gill]

Ive sent you the link/details for dropbox to the email account you used to sign up here...
Well chuffed you are up for giving the logo idea a go!

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Ok, thanks
Don't mind me checking it out tomorrow arvo? Have school in the morning, time for me to catch some Z's! lol
Looking forward to giving it a go

 

[Hamish Gill]

... Ha, yeah, thats fine ... it is of course sunday morning here, I forget that you antipodes live in a very different time zone

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Wow, major type fails.. probably do need sleep lol.
I think I dropped my photos in your box? just let me know if i did it wrong haha.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Seems to be working ... It's says it's downloading a file now!

 

[Brodie Jackson]

ok, sweet as

 

[Dan Cattermole]

That is such a good idea to use that in video intros!
Great idea Hamish, and amazing creation Brodie. Well done

 

[Hamish Gill]

You can put them all in at once, you don't have to do them one at a time ... Just chick them all in and they will upload in thier own time as long as you leave the computer on ...
The ones you have put in so far seem to have solid letters as opposed to the outlined ones the vid...?

 

[Brodie Jackson]

oh, i put them all in but closed my laptop after a while.. im guessing the blue thing means they're uploading?
yeh, they're the same photos. i just put the outline effect on in movie maker.. I only wanted the outline but when I wrote it, it didn't really come out. so I decided to go about it that way lol.
And cheers dan

[Brodie Jackson]

[Hamish Gill]

Here you go Brodie, after a little bit of tinkering ... this is where i am up to

[video=youtube_share;8oCEZNEuwB0]http://youtu.be/8oCEZNEuwB0[/video]

what do you think?

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Awesome looks good.
was workig on the logo thisafternoon.. then my sharpie ran out... what a sad time that was :/ lol. Just want me to put the photos in the box thingie when i've done or would you like me to construct a vid?

 

[Hamish Gill]

Both?
If you stick your version of the video up it gives me a good starting point to add my twist to ...
You gotta love a bit of collaboration work with someone on the other side if the world

Thanks Brodie! This is loadsa fun

(RPF owes Brodie 1 sharpie )

 

[Brodie Jackson]
