Snapshot Postcard #4 Timelapse

Posted by Kyle Pulver on April 6th, 2010 in Contests

It's time to reveal the new Snapshot postcard! This one goes out to all of our Retro Affect birthday extravaganza winners. This big reveal isn't coming to you in the form of a mere .jpg though, it's a time lapse of the entire process. Beginning to end, all captured on the left monitor of yours truly. Check it out (in HD!)!

The entire thing took about 4 hours from start to finish. I started by drawing a tiny thumbnail of what I wanted to do on an index card, so I didn't go into it completely blind. I also had some failed concepts in the .psd that I didn't go with from the day before. Also, if you watch closely you can see a couple frames where I got distracted by a Starcraft 2 commentary video. (Also I hate you, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, and I hope you get your lunchbox stolen at school tomorrow.)

These postcards will be heading out the door pretty soon, and hopefully there will be more chances in the future for you guys to get a hold of some. If you have any feedback on the card or the video, lemme know in the comments!

(There's also a version of the time lapse on vimeo that captures the full screen mode better than YouTube. If you want the full experience I suggest viewing that one.)

You are ridiculously talented sir. Thanks for sharing :) I'm even more excited to get my new art card now!

PS- I like the Retro Affect animation at the beginning very much.

Nice! the music goes well with it too, lol. I watch it and go "ooooh prety..." but I really have no idea what anything in Photoshop is...
Did I see you draw sonic the hedgehog over him at the end?...
Also... I never noticed Pic has a radioactive symbol on his chest.

My Name? What is this?

Very well done. I liked it more before you brightened everything at the end, though.

Thanks everyone! :o

You did see Sonic the Hedgehog, Josh, and there are plenty more little hidden images in there as well. I think there's one frame of Mario as well.

Nameless guy: I guess you mean the yellow light from the background? In my defense, I'd say that the image is a little hard to read before any sort of atmospheric light was added.
