No, I wasn’t there. In fact I had no idea it even happend until today when someone sent me a link to a Flickr gallery showing it. I really like this project, very creative. After seeing this, I’m inspired to do something similar with Stormtroopers. I think the troopers would be a fun take on this concept because there are millions of them and they all look the same (except for maybe a badge or shoulder pad showing rank). I think it’s time the troopers got a little individuality, even tho they are all just clones.
Just saw this and really want to get my hands on it…
Photoshops’ extractor tool has really come a long ways in the past few versions, but it still doesn’t handle odd edges (like hair and feathers) as well as Soft Scissors seems to. At this point, I can’t find any info as to where or how to get my hands on this magical piece of software. If I do, I’ll post back about it. If you know anything please leave me a comment.
Really amazing new technology for image resizing. May not be that appealing to all, but to pixel pushers like myself, it’s definitely worth checking out.
Once again, I’ve stumbled upon some long lost memory on YouTube – last time it was 80’s Cartoon Intros. This time I found a lost scene from Star Wars: A New Hope. This whole scene was on the Star Wars Radio Broadcast, I remember listening to the cassettes as a kid. Anyway, enjoy…
In other news, I’ve switched browsers. I’m now using Flock. Not to sound like too much of a sales person, but I’m really impressed with it so far. If you’re not familiar with it, I’ll give you a brief rundown. It’s basically a different version of FireFox. It’s built off the same architecture, and has a lot more features. I’m really enjoying the Media Browser, as well as the integrated blog tools – which I used to write this post. All of the FireFox extensions I used before work great on Flock so I can use it for my design/developer purposes as well as my recreational web needs. On top of that, my buddy Tim designed the badass interface that really sets it apart from other browsers. He told me that I couldn’t combine Flock with Star Wars, guess I proved him wrong with this post.
