Filming a chair... in space

Why bother faking this in Photoshop when you can go through the trouble of launching a real chair into space, along with a camera? Well, maybe because you'll never recover the footage after the whole damn thing crashes back into earth...

Shaky camera images? Fix it in post!

A new feature to be expected in the next edition of Photoshop. Unfortunately it doesn't work with video- yet. Hope this feature is released in time before I hand over my images from my photoshoot of a classic car rally last sunday...;-)

Photoshop for Video Tips & Tricks


 I am not a Photoshop-adept by any means. I enviously eyeball people who effortlessly skate through layers, click frolickly on a filter here and an alpha channel there.... I can't stand it... I desperately want to be proficient at Photoshop but the reality is: I use it too little to ever really crack that nut.

For people like me, Video University has a helpful sheet with Photoshop for Video Tips & Tricks.

Some of the topics include:
  • Creating an Image for Video Use

  • Tips for Viewing Pixel Aspect Ratios

  • Using Logos

  • Extracting Elements from an Image

      

    If you want to go more in-depth, Photoshop guru Richard Harrington's Photoshop for Video has gotten some great reviews on Amazon- and beyond.
