Funny Paintball Game


This is a video i made in windows movie maker after filming my friend and I paintballing at paintball city. I had to convert the file into a .wmv file by using AVS and then i changed the brightness on the video and added music to it to make it even funnier. I could of muted the background sounds with us shooting but i left it because i thought it wouldn't be as good if i muted it, so instead i just turned it down a bit. Well, hope you like it. Enjoy!

My Mid-Term Portfolio

NEW KID ON THE BLOCK
In class we had to use Photoshop which is a photo editing program if you weren't sure. With this we mixed a bunch of kids faces together to make a weird or funny looking face. To get the pictures of students we simply just got hold of a camera and stood infront of a white background. We did this so that all the backgrounds would be similar, this makes it easier to cut hair out and add it to other peoples heads because the background is the same. To make the effect more realistic we used blending tools to match the skin tone. This picture was originally of Mark but i added Peter's eyes and Jamie's mouth and blended it in a bit. This project was really fun and everyone had a good laugh.






CLIPPING MASKS
In Photoshop we learned how to use clipping masks which is actually 20 times easier than i thought it would be. Clipping masks is when you write a word and then put a picture just inside the word instead of the background. When i first saw these i thought it would be pretty difficult instead it was literally two clicks of a button. For this project we had to write peace in a bunch of different languages, so i uploaded this picture here because i'm half israeli and so i wrote peace in hebrew and put the israeli flag waving in the air on a pole in the background.
