Panorama

A panaromic type image i knocked up quickly today. Photo i took looking up Union Street at night from the Castlegate. Some effects and PS adjustments later and came up with this.

Workstation audits

This is my first attempt at making a movie for college. The theme was workstation auditing. A few of my classmates helped with the shooting, but the finished video was all my own work. This is the first cut of it, so its a bit messy, and theres a few bits im not too happy with so i'll probably stick another version of it up later.

Rom Check Fail

ROM CHECK FAIL

One of the craziest games i've seen lately, it available as a free download on the above linkage. Its Super Mario, Pacman, Gauntlet, Defender and a load of other old skool games rolled into one. Game format keeps changing at an alarming rate so you're never quite sure whats going to happen next. Excellent stuff.

More lazers

Messed about further with the beach lazers thing and animated it so it looks like a real lazer show! (well... something like one)

Chemical Beach

A photo of the skyline of Codonas amusement park at Aberdeen beach, as the sun went down. Manupulated it using a photo i took at the Chemical Brothers gig in Glasgow back in December.

Random album cover 2

The legendary Betha Palmer, and her 1982 release 'Keeping Up with Yesterday'.

I could mess around with these all day.

The random album cover

Give this a try:


ALBUM COVERS THAT NEVER WERE

I had a go and this is what came out.

Interesting.

ATTI

As mentioned earlier, i stayed in the art-themed Winston Hotel last week. The artist responsible for our room was ATTI. Looked up some more of her stuff, its pretty cool so i've stuck a link up here to her site:

ATTI

You can view the room we were in, you'll find it in the Interiors section.

The coolest bar ever?

No Photoshop trickery this time, just some pics taken last week in the new Ice Bar in Amsterdam. Not the best pics due to camera troubles and a partner with shakier hands than a Torry wino with the DT's, but you get the idea. Every things made out of ice, right down to the glasses. Its not quite inline for becoming my new local, but a drinking experience different from your usual Aberdeen establishments is always welcome. And yes- it was absolutely freezing, hence the silly North Pole type attire.

More Photoshoppery- NEMO

The NEMO sceince centre in Amsterdam. Its an impressive building in itself, couldnt decide what to do with it in PS so here's a couple i threw together. I'll maybe mess around some more with it later.

Winston Amsterdam

http://www.winston.nl/

Just got back from Amsterdam, much needed break after a chaotic year. Stayed at a cool, arty hotel in the RLD called Winston. Each room had been transformed by a different artist, and as a result it was the coolest place i've ever stayed in. The rooms varied from wall to wall fractal graphics with giant robots standing over the beds, to a fetish room complete with leather straps and chains on the bed (!). Cant do this place justice, but heres a little video i found on Youtube showing some of the rooms.




It also had a bar which was very popular with the local crowd as well as residents. Heres a pic of the gents (most surreal) WC's.
