'Ning all

I have to make images for songs for a re-sit project, this one is for Don McLean - Starry Starry Night, it's suppose to be a real photo version of Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night". Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it work better?

A more blue teint overall

and some contrasting yellow stars/moons/suns/whatever the guy was thinking of in the sky.

EDIT: oh, I like it too by the way, I saw what it was meant to be right away!

(

DaSchop gippie, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 2:18, archived)

Ahhhh good call

I was wondering what it was missing, one minute.

Edit: Is it the moon thats in the top left of the original starry night?

(Quetzacoatl is sitting on your bust of Pallas, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 2:25, archived)

And maybe make the big tree a little darker.

All depending on how close you want it to be to the original, of course.

(

DaSchop gippie, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 2:27, archived)

Yeah true

The idea is to make it as close to the original while also making it clear that its made from real photos

(Quetzacoatl is sitting on your bust of Pallas, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 2:30, archived)

shapes in the sky made by patterns of stars rather than blurry motions through the sky.

different sizes/colors/brightnesses of stars, a moon would greatly improve it.
i really like the shape of the tree.

(USER No: 21515...FUCK YOU TO FUCK YOU FU see profile for limited time offer., Fri 11 Aug 2006, 2:26, archived)

Add much more blur/distortion on the tree

Sorry but it's late and i doubt anyone will mind.
Does anyone know how I could get rid of the obvious white background bits from this flash file im working on?

(

Brims Spurts., Fri 11 Aug 2006, 1:28, archived)

If you mean the parts on both sides of your actual canvas, either:

1.) make a new layer above all others and create a frame, covering up anything outside of the canvas (work area, whatever, the white rectangle that you'rw working in)

2.) embed the video in a webpage

3.) use a mask with the exact dimensions of the movie on all layers (may be tricky if you;re already using masks)

4.) profit

(

DaSchop gippie, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 1:37, archived)

coo...

cheers muchly! I think i'll try for the embedded video approach seeing as tho i don't actually use Macromedia Flash, so i don't know about all them layers and whatnot.

(

Brims Spurts., Fri 11 Aug 2006, 1:46, archived)

Whatever software you are using is likely to have a function to export your movie to a webpage,

creating a html file for you with the movie readily embeded.

Otherwise, use something like described on this page:

you can set background to transparent

if you're showing it in a webpage
www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14201

(

alwayslostinsmoke fulfilling dreams since, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 1:39, archived)

this will only make any parts of the movie transparent that:

- show when the image is embeded
- have no movieclips/images/etc. on them.

Seeing as that all of the movieframe is covered in images and, when embeded, only the movie frame will show, I don't think this is the enwser you're looking for.

It's nice for using Flash animations in layers or otherwise on top of other graphics in a webpage though.

Oh my, moral debate on b3ta?

What will they think of next?!

Anyway, I do not condone this sort of behaviour and I'd hit anyone I'd catch electrocuting small animals in the head. I can't even kill a fly myself, or anything else larger than a mosquito(they buzz and sting, you know..) for that matter.

Still, I am fascinated by the resilience of the little fish shown in the experiment.

And also, it's a cocking goldfish. It's not like it has the self-consciousness to mind dying or being hurt, beyond the its instinct for survival...

(

DaSchop gippie, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 0:37, archived)

Oh come on

Just because it isn't intelligent doesn't mean it can't feel pain. I'm fairly sure suffocating in mountain dew and then being electrocuted would be pretty painful to anything.

(

SugarSpunSister Yeah, whatever, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 0:50, archived)

Well, sure, it can feel pain.

Many animals can "feel" pain, in the sense that they have pain receptors in their skin or whatever part of their body they requier the sense of pain in order to survive. But if it doesn't consciously mind being in pain, what does it matter?

If I were to attach some sort of preasure sonsor to a computer and pricked it with a nail, sure it would register that "pain" but it wouldn't mind, seeing as that it's not conscious. A fish's nervous system is just an organic and more complex version of a computer with sensors attached to it, that is, unless you believe it has a soul and such, in which case there really is no point in arguing.

Now you could argue that a fish's brain is complex anough to give the animal a conscious perception of itself. This has never exactly been proven or disproven by my knowledge but come on, do you realy believe that fish are conscious beings?

(

DaSchop gippie, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 1:20, archived)

Wether it feels pain or not is probably besides the point.

Who the fuck would actually do that, and for what reason is what gets me. What do they stand to gain?

And of course theyre conscious, they're alive, they breathe, they eat, they reproduce. It might not have the capacity to understand what the pain is, but dying is NEVER a pleasant experience for any living thing, especially what is essentially murder.

(

SugarSpunSister Yeah, whatever, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 1:26, archived)

Who the fuck would actually do what, exacly?

all the stuff that is done to the fish in the clip? Artists, probably with an interest in biology, on some level.

And what do you mean, "of course" they're consciousness?! Plants are alive, breath, eat and reproduce, but I assume you wouldn't call a tree consciousness.

Dying is something all(proper functioning) living things try to avoid by definition, seeing as that they wouldn't have existed otherwise (due to evolution and such). Whether or not they experience pain(if at all) on a conscious level determines if it's cruel to do stuff to them.

(

DaSchop gippie, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 1:33, archived)

Just because they're artists doesn't give them the right to go electrocuting goldfish for gods sakes.

It's a creature. A living thing that has just as much a place on this earth as we do. Maybe it doesn't have consciousness, maybe it doesnt have a link between pain and bad, but does that really honestly make it ok? It's still taking a life from something who cant save itself.

Much akin to putting you in a box, sucking all the oxygen out, replacing it with helium and then giving you ECT.

Sound fun?

(

SugarSpunSister Yeah, whatever, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 1:41, archived)

First of all,

I'm not saying it's ok to kill stuff.

But you see, I am a conscious being. I mind dying and pain and such.

Fish don't.

That's my whole point.

Whether or not fish have the right to live is really a whole different issue that really has nothing to do with the argument I'm making. "rights" are a human invention that is part of the human ability to go beyond simple animal instincts and create things such as laws, culture, society and yes, rights. If a society agrees that X has the right to Y, that is not a given, it's an agreement. Goldfish do not nescesarily have the right to live, we just feel they do because we have decided that they do. But that's not even completely true. Many animals such as cows, chickens, many fish, pigs but also flies and spiders are killed for various reasons every day, which can hardly be considered wrong.

(

DaSchop gippie, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 1:57, archived)

Appreciated

But we kill livestock to eat. Thats survival. Theres a big difference between that and killing a goldfish in the name of art.

And watch the video. You can clearly see that the goldfish is distressed, as soon as the water level begins to drop its movements are jerky and panicky. It doesn't exactly look overjoyed, does it?

I just dont see who would be so very depraved as to kill something and call it art.

(

SugarSpunSister Yeah, whatever, Fri 11 Aug 2006, 2:03, archived)

well,

that's a bit of an anthropomorphism.
Flapping about is just the fish's instinctive response to not being in water. I suppose it's evolutionary cause is to move it from dry land into any nearby water.

But it doesn't mean the fish is in pain or emotional distress.

Whether or not it is a ad thing to kill and torture a goldfish, that is a matter of opinion. You obviously think it is and I, well, I do too really but I really can't support that with any scientifically reasonable arguments.
