Title: Playing with fire
Post by: Adron on September 11, 2004, 04:53 PM
My sister wanted to spend the day practising acrobatics stuff. She persuaded me to come pick her up, and I snapped these pictures of what they were showing off:

Yeah my ex used to spit fire at punk rock shows. Would of been cooler if she would've set herself on fire though.

I've always wanted to try that, but was afraid of blowing myself up.

I think that was a pun.  Fire, sister, hot.

If that was intentional, very clever :)

But I don't think Akamas is that clever..

I guess I never cease to surprise you because that is what I intended.

Thats neat, reminds me of the dancer people we saw in Hawaii. What program did you use to make the thumbnails Adron? Does it crop and resize all at once or did you do it seperately?

I was thinking about giving a witty remark building on that, but then I (too) assumed it was just the generic "oooh wooow, a girl!" thing.

I obviously crop and resize manually, since I pick out different parts of each image. I do it all in Photoshop, using the crop tool. Just input 80 px by 80 px, select the area you like, and it'll crop + resize in a single operation. I then "save it for the web" to remove unnecessary information from the image file.

If you have any suggestions for doing it more efficiently, I'd be glad to hear them.

Something that might be cool:

Dress the players completely in black.
Pick a dark location on a dark, cloudy night.
Have the players wave the fire around in cool patterns and take pics / make movie.

Maybe I saw this someplace already, I can't remember.  My sinuseseses are clogged up and my brain is fuzzy today.
