Yes, Mama2taj, you're almost up!

I've kind of been throwing around some ideas for Halloweenqueen and all I knew at the time I did this last night was that she wanted a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. I wanted to experiment around and see if I could apply an actually scene from the movie. Not really know just how to do it, I took about 50 screen caps and loaded them into photoshop. Well, Photoshop can only load 25 pics at a time so I had to narrow the scene down even farther. I put all the pick into the first pic, creating 25 layers then cropped the whole thing down to the banner size. I then separated each frame again and took them all into JASC Animation pro. This is what I came up with....

I know I probably made it sound more difficult that it really was but all in all I was just messin around. It's kind of cool at first, but I can see how one would get tired of it real quick. I pretty much just wanted to see if it could be done and now I know. Now that I know what scene she actually wants I think it will be a lot cooler and more subtle.

I'm always trying to out-do myself and I've now found that's not always the best thing to do. I'm really just talking out load here but I thought y'all might want to see a real first draft to something. The work in progress, as it were.

She PM'd me a little while ago and i don't know if she's seen it or not. I'm not going to use that though. It was JUST practice!

As in, "Wherefore you telling us this??"

Wherefore...
Belongs in the same words which
haven't been used since the New
King James version was originaly
printed. Like "Ye", "Tis", and "Thy".

Herman Melville, Moby Dick (1851):

But wherefore it was that after having repeatedly smelt the sea as a merchant sailor, I should now take it into my head to go on a whaling voyage; this the invisible police officer of the Fates, who has the constant surveillance of me, and secretly dogs me, and influences me in some unaccountable way Ã¢â‚¬â€ he can better answer than any one else.

Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Man From Archangel" (1885):

Upon this strip there had been a rambling, grey-stone building Ã¢â‚¬â€ when erected or wherefore none could tell me Ã¢â‚¬â€ and this I had repaired, so that it made a dwelling quite good enough for one of my simple tastes.
