Video Wedding Invitation

Video Wedding Invitation

So, from time to time my friends ask me to do some video for them. If I have enough time, I do it, why not. So, last week a friend of mine asked me if I could make a small video invitation for their wedding.

I took my camera (Panasonic NV-GS 180 – 3CCD – 2,3 mega pixel) and we met at the park (2 minutes from my home).

I did the video editing in After Effects CS3and – voila!

The video wedding invitation is done! Let me know what you think.

Photoshop brushes used for this:

  1. Swirls (floral) Photoshop brushes set (premium edition)
  2. Photoshop splatter brushes
  3. Simple custom Photoshop brushes set

Photoshop 7.0 brushes, scrapbooking and how-to’s

So, you would like to print your own scrapbook that will be cool, unique and… huh, cool?

How would you like to make some cool graphics, merge them with some photos and print out as a scrapbook that will always remind you of some people or events?

Do you just feel you can’t afford to spend too much time working on it?

Well, let me tell you something. It took me one afternoon to do my Rovinj (Rovigno) scrap book. Rovinj is a small fisherman’s town in Croatia, at the coast of the Adriatic Sea. I decided that I want to have scrapbook of it, took one afternoon of and … voila! Here it is. Do I need to mention that I used my own brushes for it? (and of course my photos!)

Here is just a preview of the book and in next post I will briefly describe how it’s done. So, if I did it, I’m sure you can do it too. At home. Just using a printer, canvas paper, some textile, cork board, sea shells and a sponge. Nothing too sophisticated.

Free Digital Scrapbook QP and Some Off Topic Thoughts

Free Digital Scrapbook QP and Some Off Topic Thoughts

Yesterday, after discovering that AdToll thing, I found myself thinking about how this, this and this person can earn enough money from their blogs? They are actually living a great life only from money earned that way?

Look, this woman is even supporting her family with it! That’s the direction I’m going to. It takes long, but I’ll get there sooner or later.

Why does it take so long for me to do it? Maybe “give stuff for free” business model doesn’t really work? If you have an answer, let me know, will pay for profitable advice.

But that’s me. I can’t be johnchow or shoemoney or dooce. I’m just… Me.

So, today here’s the latest scrapbooking in form of digital scrapbooking – free download: Sepia. This is zipped .psd file (35MB) – 7,5×7,5 inches – 300pix/inch resolution. Every design element is on his own layer, so you can just replace my image with your and – that’s it!

Photoshop brushes on clothes

Gang, I’ve just came up with another idea!

Why would we need to apply Photoshop brushes on graphics for web or print only? Why limit ourselves? I think that this white Swirls Photoshop brush fits perfectly on dark clothes.

Check it out for yourself! Not to mention other possibilities. How about mugs, or bags, or buttons, magnets, aprons?…. possibilities are limitless.

So, consider this, you can get the 9,99$ swirls – Photoshop brushes set, create nice designs with them, open a Shop or Create What's on Your Mind at CafePress store and apply them to clothes, mugs, or bags, or buttons, magnets, aprons…. all this various different stuff.

Or, if you’re just not in mood, get some of those for yourself (or your beloved ones) from cafepress shop.

Have fun creating!

Thursdays photo session

Guys, I’m in a mess! Today, I have to shoot some people :)…

…no, not really: I’ll do a photo session with a loads of people ! And I have do it in my apartment because I don’t have a studio anymore. Well, studio that I had was too small and my current living room is big enough but I don’t like the idea that lot of people mess around my apartment while i work.

The situation: my friend Marina call me one day to ask if I could make a photo session for another friend of her called Suzana. She (Suzana) makes woman stockings and she wants some professional images for her next brochure. I don’t shooting per request, especially here in Croatia where everyone is… well, I don’t like shooting per request. I like to sell images I make through stock agencies much better.

So, in that case I stated that I will not ask for payment, but I will take 50% or more photos for my needs. The models will sign “Model Release Forms” and I will be able so sell these images on stock agencies.

Woman pantyhoses

So, this photo-shooting session will involve: my friend’s girlfriend Melani (who is also my Italian teacher), who will be a model, one girl (Dinka) who I don’t really know that well, my friend Marina (she will be the makeup artist) and the “client” – Suzana. Suzana also mentioned Irina (graphic designer) wants to be present. (Did I mention that I don’t appreciate the idea of too many people hanging around my apartment as I work?) I’m nervous. Really nervous!

So, guys – wish me luck, ‘cos I gonna need it!

Images will be posted here (at bsilvia.com)… at least few of them.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving day to my visitors from USA!
