During the Christmas break my team mate and I went into school to start the project, since what we choose to do was pretty "ambitious" I wanted to start as fast as possible so if we have some technical problems we would have time to fix it, because I'm sure we'll take longer to do this than other people. Nearly all scene will be make on the computer.
George and I were messing around in Photoshop, we tried to make a futuristic landscape buy using normal landscape of big cities as a base and then we paint on top of it. cutting part and drawing extra buildings ourself so that the "base' photo will be completely covered once we are done.
I have to say that this process for me was challenging because I rarely uses Photoshop because I have this special app on my phone which have the same features as it but in a easier form. Therefore, the tools and short cuts in Photoshop was new to me and seems complicated. However, I was lucky that my team mate (George) uses this program quiet often so I had help when I didn't know what tools to use for certain things. As time passed by it got easier, although I was particularly frustrated with the Laso tool (the tool that cuts the object from the picture so you can move them to a different template) because I had to click every 1-2 seconds to be able to get around the object smoothly and since I was using a mouse moving just a little bit would effect quiet a lot. That is when I went to get a computer sketch pad so I can control the mouse painting pen from this electronic sketch pad instead of using a mouse. It got some adjusting to do but at this point anything is better than using a mouse.
