Oh dear, it would seem remixor and I are thinking on the same wavelength (albeit I'm experiencing some seriously funky lag)...

Well they do say that great minds think alike...

* Iqu crosses his fingers in the hope that no one mentions the fact that fools seldom differ...
* Iqu suggests remixor does the same.

Oh dear god, is he asking how to pull off a lens flare?

Iqu's Hell:

Going to see "Phil Collins Live" with your best friends.
Your best friends are the cast of "Friends".

Either that or watching the Talentless Mr. Sh*tley on infinite repeat, with the soundtrack changed to the Macarena.

* Iqu cringes...

You... changed... the sound?..

* Iqu feels a hulk moment coming on...

Hm... credit in the film, and your first born son... You drive a hard bargain my friend, but... oh, what the hell. Deal.

Just start praying you only have daughters...

...hm, daughters... that gives me an idea...

Right, welcome to "making it in AVI 101".

One.
Re-download it from the link above.  I put an anti-import thing on the first, old habits die hard etc.
Two.
Open Flash, and choose "File", "Open" and then pick "iqulgm02.swf".
Three.
"File", "Export Movie" choose AVI then "640x480" "32bit /w Alpha"  set the sound and compressions to whatever you think is best.
Four.
Pray that you have enough disk space, unlike me
(The reason you're getting this half-assed tutorial, actually).
Five.
Send me either £3000 or your first born son.  Your choice.

You want it AVI now?

You'll want me to make all the films for you, too, I s'pose?
And be your chauffer?
And cook your dinners for you?
And wipe your ass, too?...

Well, I suppose making it AVI's not to hard...
I'll try it now.

* Iqu cracks his knuckles

I'll probably knock up a logo or two (I'm in that kinda mood).  Any specifics? and what res?

Hugs
Iqu

(also, funky title... i think?..).

Hey

What res?

Hugs
Iqu

(yea, too much free time...)

Ok
Done it... I think.

Click > me < in all my flash glory...

I'm kinda stupid actually, I should've used flash to begin with, but the problem is as follows:
In the Start menu, I have a section called "Art Tools".  There is also a section called "Internet Tools".  Flash is in the net tools, and when I decide to art something up I naturally choose the first section.  I am an idiot.

Well, back to doing what I should've been doing while I was busy doing this...

Flash? Hm... Why didn't I think of that.
I just faffed about with my usual combination of Paint Shop Pro (7 no less) and Animation Shop (insert version number, I forget which).
You liked the resolution I had before?..  Um, it's still the same size, I just had to remove the blank sections to prevent my pc from crashing every seventh click.
I had a problem with the timing of it, as everything is jerk on my pc, once I suss out how to fade things in flash it'll be sorted.
I'm currently searching for samples so you can hear my glory as well as gaze upon it.

Probably post the new version in ten hours time.  Don't worry, I'm not wasting that much of my life, I'm just netless between 4pm and 2am.  Damn Tesco.net, damned ntl: ...

Right.  Not finished yet as my pooter crashing faster John Denver...

Ideas Iqu had:
1. Sound - Polaroid Camera fading into old style cine-cam sound (think projector-ish).
2. I have a plan to do something with the first part, where the pictures falls from behind view (thru view point).  It will seem like the photo is just a picture frame type thing.  (i.e. zooming out from the undeveloped black section, and rotating somewhat.
3. "Studio" does sound better.
4. If everyone in the world sat down at exactly the same time, would it cave in?  - off topic, I know, but it has me both intrigued and aroused.



Hugs
Iqu
(to be honest, with the bad pc thing, I don't even know if it's working right - the last 5 frames look to me like they were done in "Jerk-o-vision")...

Animating it...
Hm...

I kinda designed with animating in mind, it's just my pc's a bit... well... crap, really.  Ergo, it take time.

Picture to Studio... Doing now... No problem.

Hugs
Iqu

et voila...

* Iqu contemplates for a while...

Hm...

* Iqu contemplates for a while longer...

Hmm . . .

* Iqu starts to mastu- [color]

Ahem... I'll have a stab at it.
Anything particular in mind? or just go with whatever pops in to my sordid little mind?

(eg// serious? quirky? camp? sinister? etc...)

Um... What background?

Nevermind, other post... I get it.
Sorry

* Iqu does his special "happy birthday" dance.

It usually ends up with a mess of baby oil and whipped cream...

"Eh?"
"Pass the Urangutan"
"What the f*ck" (for disgust, confusion and enthuasium)
"Hugs, Iqu"

and from several years ago, apparently:
"Bloody hell, I've spilt my beer"

Hmm... k, the only "joke" I ever use...

Two lepers playing cards, one threw his hand in and the other laughed his head off.

No problem Flippy...

You'll receive the invoice in the next few days...

All major credit cards accepted (expect "Solo" cards which are useless).
