Superhero!

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Today I watched an amazing movie. It is called Defendor. Rough jist is that it’s about a guy, played by Woody Harrelson, who has a learning disability and has taken it upon himself to clean up the prostitution problem in his home town. It is a really dark comedy. Harrelson plays it to a tee. This wouldn’t have been the movie it was if not for him. Absolutely bitchin’ soundtrack too. Watch the trailer below:

You may or may not be aware that there is another similar type movie coming out soon called ‘Kick Ass‘. The movie has been getting rave reviews so far, but I have a hard time imagining it being any better than Defendor.

Anyway, on the back of this movie, I was watching the new trailer for Kick Ass and noticed a really nice text effect going on in it. Thought I would try and recreate the effect myself. Here is the result using a mixture of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop:

Kick Ass text effect

Didn’t take long to do. I might do a tut on it if anyone is interested?

Living For The Weekend

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I’ve been run off my feet this week. Working in Lucid Studio and the god forsaken shit-hole that is 301 St Vincent Street. At last it is nearly the weekend.

Its been hard. 8am to 10pm all week. Wondering if I’m getting anywhere, and generally freaking out trying to meet the demands of my growing client base. But even through this hardship I’ve been chuffed at some of the stuff I’ve done. Like mixing 3d packages with photoshop for example. It makes me smile when it works. Have a look at this program: Swift3D. Its so easy to grasp it makes me want to party in my geeky little pants. I keep meaning to do another tutorial. If I get time this weekend I’ll do one integrating Swift with Photoshop.

It was also weird this week. I was in Glasgow walking to my part time ‘life assurance’ job and within the space of two or three minutes I saw four different posters on the streets that I had done in my little old room. Its a great sense of achievement. Not something I think you would come close to working for the man.

So now that I’ve slaved away all week, I bid yee all farewell. I’m off to revel in my glory by kicking back and living the British dream…

I’m going to get plastered out my mind.
