Hmm...I has a problem. I have my entry done in ImageReady, but it will only let me save as a .psd, and if I open that in Photoshop then try to save as a .GIF, it loses the animation. Any ideas?

ImageReady lets you save gifs. Go to "Save Optimized As..."

[ArmondoSC]

Oh god! I am not good with computers! I'm so sorry!

One minute i'm messing around, then suddenly this!

I did not know gimp had a cats button!

I can has lrrcats?

[Allen!]

Oh, and, as for my other hand, usually I was flipping off Bill(which means 'I love you' according to him)

I used to bother everybody by not looking at them as I typed really, really fast

Also, showbaths are ridiculously.

Save as:
Images and HTML (.html)
Images only (.jpg)
HTML only (.html)

Is all it's giving me.

[JesterJ.]

lolwut?

[Misty]

Aaaah, okay, I figured out the problem.

Jester, take all the stuff you have and copy+paste it over to a new document (make sure all of your settings, like animation timing and such, are set as you'd like) Then go to 'Save Optimized As...' and .gif should be the second option.

Apparently ImageReady hates when you open, then try to save over, any format at all, unless it's already a .gif x3

[JesterJ.]

It worked. Yay! I ruv you Misty.

Here is my horribly done, crappy creation. I'm banking on the fact that no one else without a rank enters, and I win by default.
BEHOLD:





That green screen was trickier than expected to get rid of..

You can roll up the king of all cosmos in at least one of the katamari games, so I guess that's as close to fighting as you can get in that game. Also why was your freezer off in the first place?

And speaking of Katamari...



It doubles as a wallpaper.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Darn it Matt, at least you actually can play BioShock, I have the most powerful computer in the area, the PC version, and I still can't get it to work past loading the opening cinematic...

I've played "no-one lives forever" games, I generally call it "multiplayer"

Hmm...there's no way I'll get a good green replacerment, so maybe I can put the crew into certain...groupings/situations...

Yay for finding Gibb!

[Master Gunner]

I'm guessing to reduce the ambient noise level during filming. Otherwise you might end up with a buzzing sound in the videos, which may not be that easy to remove (at least without messing up peoples voices).

I'll try to edit these once I get home :3

I needz mai photoshopz

[robothero]

Also, remember the fridge cycles on and off, so you could end up trying to cut together two takes with vastly different ambient noise.

I've taken to leaving a fridge magnet on my pillow when I turn off the fridge, so at least I'll remember before I go to sleep.

[King Kool]

Here we go, about 2 1/2 hours in Photoshop. Shown in order that I did them in...















They're not great, but I hope they're worth a chuckle. I may do more, there were a few ideas I couldn't get to work this time, and I may revisit.

[Kara]

Fuuuck. Kay. I'm gonna just try to do something with like Paint since I'm actually just doing this at the net cafe I'm at and see what comes of it. Hopefully I can do something, as I'm not actually back in Victoria until Monday much much much later than the deadline. Okay. I got this.

...I really didn't need to see that.

[Kara]

Well, it seems the computer at this cafe doesn't even have fucking Paint on it, so there is pretty much nothing I can do for the contest.

But PLEASE don't take my not doing anything for it as a sign that I wouldn't want to and PLEASE do more contests in the future, the future not being like in another several several months, but rather more often than that.

Damnit Graham! Why did you have to wear that reflective helmet?

[Lyinginbedmon]

Well here's my first attempt. As previously noted, I don't have anything to get rid of the green screen (No, I'm not getting GIMP), so I settled for using the pics for alternative purposes.

[King Kool]

Damnit Graham! Why did you have to wear that reflective helmet?

I thought that the first time I saw the picture. That's one of the reason I didn't use the group pic yet.

Just mask around it.
Gosh people. Lasso tool for life.

If I'm gonna use the lasso tool, there's no reason for the green. Magic Wand for life!

(I also didn't use the group picture because I had no idea for it. I'll get one soon.)

[JesterJ.]

Ahh FUCK you all! You ruined my plan of winning by default. Nice entries, though

It was my understanding that the ambient noise is a problem with fridges/freezers, but I thought also with all of their equipment plugged in there (if they do indeed plug all of their equipment into one room), it might raise the risk of blowing a circuit if excess things are plugged in. Or would a fridge/freezer really not add that much risk?
