Hi Tirz, it doesn't have to be exactly THOSE pictures if you can find something similar elsewhere. I was just showing you what I had in my mind. I know once I do that, you're fabulous at knowing what to do with it.

TirzahLaughs · 06-03-2011 14:36:45

You know what you want but are still flexible on how I bend it, that makes my life easier.

)))

Just think when I get to learn Dreamweaver and Photoshop over the next two years---the fun stuff I can make.

Kydd Dustyn · 06-03-2011 15:27:33

I can't wait. I call dibs on being your guinea pig for any project you need!!!!!

TirzahLaughs · 06-03-2011 15:43:55

Well I'm done with my admissions portfolio.

I'll also need to develop a job portfolio with finished projects. )))

I want to see if I can take a character creation course--I can hopefully learn to make them in 3-D so I can sculpt them closer to the author's needs.

FUN

Kydd Dustyn · 06-03-2011 16:26:02

Sounds great! I wish I had that kind of talent with computers.

Kydd

TirzahLaughs · 06-05-2011 16:35:43

I can't get into my flash drive with your pictures. My brother said he can get them though.

Kydd Dustyn · 06-05-2011 18:09:09

I've been having all sorts of little problems with computers and accessories. Seems to be a quiet conspiracy...

TirzahLaughs · 06-05-2011 18:35:58

Computers are not our friends.

Kydd Dustyn · 06-05-2011 22:47:12

Well, if you knew some of my friends, computers aren't much different. They are frustrating, sometimes working, sometimes not, temperamental, expensive, constantly breaking down, tough to figure out and come without manuals, and always have quirks. However, on the positive side, the computer is always there for me, listens to everything I say (though doesn't always interpret it the way I meant it), entertains me, and only talks when I tell it to.

Go figure.

Hi Tirz
I sent you a message yesterday, but I know I somehow deleted it! Somedays I hate technology (obviously it couldn't have been my fault!). I am heading towards self-publishing for my novella Gladys Tripalong's Private Journals. I do have someone creating my back and front cover but I am starting to regret my choice. If you are not crazy busy, can you email me to let me if you do covers? I saw your trailer for Kydd. Incredible! No rush, I'm still floundering a bit: irenskie@telus.net Irene Hamilton

Note: I am no longer listed as an author. Need time out to promote my novella.

Kydd Dustyn · 06-07-2011 09:49:10

Hey Tirzah,

I sent you an email today too, but the login you gave me for getting into my new (and marvelous Tirzah enhanced) website doesn't seem to work. Could you check the email to see if I have the userID or password incorrect?

Thanks, Kydd

TirzahLaughs · 06-07-2011 10:32:27

The password is lowercase. That's my fault.

The USER ID is your email
PASSWORD has to be lower case. Sorry about that.

ANd I have to be logged out. I updated theCannibal video. I tested it and it worked.
If you can't get in, I can change the password.

Ooo, thanks, Tirzah. I'll look at the Cannibal video right now while the boss is in a meeting...hehehe.

TirzahLaughs · 06-07-2011 10:35:37

Once you log in...you'll see a small screen shot of your site. CLICK on that then the site will go full screen and you'll be able to edit.

Kydd Dustyn · 06-07-2011 10:52:00

Yep, thanks for fixing Cannibals. Looks fab! The sound was different though. Were you using a different mic?

TirzahLaughs · 06-07-2011 11:07:08

Your site only loads from YOUTUBE so I had to load it there. Youtube seems to make the sound louder. I can try to buffer it if you need me too.

Tirz

TirzahLaughs · 06-07-2011 20:16:39

Order of the VIDEO:

Bomb Shot
Two Churches in rubble
Lloyd/Carlos shot together
Clawed Hand
Gang Shot
Shadowy Lloyd Shot
Lloyd again with shadowy wings
Revelations Page
Book Cover

Where do you want the shot of the four silhouettes? Because the other two aren't in the video. I'm wondering if that would be more confusing than helpful.

The bombs killed millions, but they were the lucky ones...

Change next text frame to: The war wiped out 80% of the population.

Something special about Lloyd attracts followers. Is he just a man?

On this one, can we say: Something about Lloyd attracts the righteous and frightens the wicked. Is he just an extraordinary man?

Or is that too long and wordy?

Or a warrior angel sent from God?

So what happened to the green-fanged woman? She kind of fit that cannibal thing? Or can you just use just so many pics? But the claw does just fine.

Thanks, Tirzah. This is going to look GREAT!!!!

TirzahLaughs · 06-08-2011 05:29:13

"Something about Lloyd attracts the righteous and frightens the wicked. Is he just an extraordinary man?"

Yeah it has character limits...but I'll try to see if I can make it work but its probably too long.

Oh yes I got the rights to the cannibal lady (green fang). I can put her in. You can use her as you wish except as a logo. She was so cool when I found her.

This week I've been experimenting with video clips. I am going to see if I have one that would work in this...give it some movement.

I have a final possible list for Lloyd and Carlos. I'll send you the links tonight (baring I work late again). Once you approve them, we'll be ready to go.

Kydd Dustyn · 06-08-2011 08:30:22

Coolio!

Kydd

TirzahLaughs · 06-08-2011 18:46:42

The silhouette of the four guys together is really expensive, a minimum of 7 credits. I really don't think that picture is worth 9.99 which is what it would cost. And that's for the smallest.

What if I build you a similar silhouette for free? Wouldn't be exactly the same but okay?

Tirz

Kydd Dustyn · 06-08-2011 20:36:19

Yep, of course it's okay. Yours will probably be even better!

TirzahLaughs · 06-08-2011 21:12:19

NEXT VERSION Of video. Still needs work. Better?

Problems: It's too long. The music still drags a bit. I had to cram words into to make it fit.

Can we tighten it up?

I may try the second music choice.

Any way to tighten the wording?

Remember character limitations---18 characters on line 1, 30 on lie two. Two lines per text slides.

I like this Lloyd. Is he shadowy enough?

The four friends...it's so-so. I'll see what I can do to make it better.

Your thoughts?

Kydd Dustyn · 06-08-2011 22:58:47

Ooo, I like the burning fire!!!!

Okay, first vicious is still misspelled. No s in the middle.

Is there any way you can fix trillions to just millions? There are only 6.93 billion people in the world. LOL Now, if we were talking cockroaches...whahahahahaha.

Okay, places we could cut words: ...desperate for a new savior You could cut "new"

Four troubled souls against a conspiracy of evil: (factions mean the evil is separate from each other--the cannibals and gangs are working together in the novel). Then, if you say conspiracy of evil with a colon, you can then cut the next line about the cannibals to just "mutant cannibals." And then "and a vicious gang bent on ruling the world"

Okay, let's carve down: "One of the four friends, Lloyd, attracts followers" change to "One of the four is different" "The righteous worship him, the wicked fear him" Just leave his name out completely. They can get his name from the teaser or the tagline. I think it makes the character more mysterious and some people think Lloyd is a dorky name until they read the book. It might be better to just avoid the name.

Will Lloyd save us? Or will it be hell on Earth? change to "Can he save the world from hell on Earth?"

I think those changes will cut about 4-6 seconds. What do you think?
