It's a 'heavily-manipulated-to-a-point-that-it-is-almost-a-stock-image' poster from the movie, not just a random image off Google!

Fixed.

Fixed.

Lol whoever did it just removed Sandy and the debris. Anyway, I think I'm beginning to see the relevance of your signature... ;)

Changing the subject, I'm just about to do the washing up after supper. And I'm torn between listening to Gravity or Inception (again). As I said here earlier, I've been having very vivid dreams recently - did any of you find that after watching Inception?? Sometimes the dreams are unpleasantly weird. Other times, like last night especially, they're quite nice...

I didn't have any dreams after Inception, but I basically never have dreams (I don't know why). As for what to listen to, I think that's up to you. :)

can you guys please do some magic on a new the cover for bophal: a prayer for rain by benjamin wallfisch?
the huge head of martin sheen is kinda disturbing to look at.

thanks :)

Acknowledging the change of subject, maybe Inception triggered something in your imagination. Or maybe it's just that now that it's in the foreground, you're paying attention to what you're dreaming more. Unlike weird Jason, I dream a lot. And they're full fledged epics in themselves. Like with a proper narrative and everything. I do, unfortunately, forget them soon after I wake. And now, I've forgotten what my point was.

Great GotG covers! :D

You don't dream?? Wow, you should count yourself lucky. Sometimes I'd rather not dream myself. But then (like last night) you get a dream which makes you think it might just be worth the bad ones. ;)

I had to go Inception. It's just so good. Not that Gravity isn't good, but nothing can beat Inception.

Haha yeah maybe it did. You're right, I think I'm paying more attention to them now. Last nights' was nice. I don't think I ever have full fledged epics... Just random events all connected to each other in random ways.

Poor Martin Sheen and his big head. But honestly, his big head's probably the only reason people'd ever see the film, Kal Penn doesn't really scream B.O. success does he?

It's not that I never ever dream, it's just rare. And when I do I usually wake up knowing that I dreamed, but I don't remember the dream. Unless it was a bad dream, those tend to stick. :(

Inception is pretty darn epic. :)

I think you and I should find ourselves a PASIV Device (split it 50-50, they're pricey on eBay) and go on some epic dream adventures together. Because clearly, I am missing out.

I just started getting into the habbit that every time I have a dream I write it down in my notebook. The same notebook that I took notes for on how I wanted to assemble my massive 30+min MoS suite. The last dream I had was with Clair Underwood. She was my acting coach at a film school / university somewhere here in the US. And Miles Teller was in it as well, although I don't know how he factored into it

Hey everyone - quick and dirty with minimal photoshopping, I mocked up these covers. They represent just a smattering of the treasures that we've had pop up in the past 48 hours. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who shared (and continues to share) these scores.

Edit: Sorry for the size. For some reason, imgur isn't letting me embed thumbnails...

When I manage to save up more than three little grubby coins, totally.

I did that once, keeping a dream journal when I was little. The problem with that is that anyone could read it and conclude some pretty weird things about you. I'm sure my parents would've had to arrange a 'cleansing ritual' for me if they'd ever read it. :)
Miles was prolly still drumming out his solo while Claire was delivering a lecture on how to act like a proper First Lady.

What he said.

Yes, but Clair Underwood is an extremely powerful and manipulative woman :D

I'd say Scarlett is extremely powerful... just in a different way.



Anyway, I'm done for the night. :)

Wow, I love this. I've seen this image used over and over for MoS covers, but they background is different. I don't know what's different exactly, but whatever it is I like it.

Thanks man! :D

This is first try
hope you like it

it came out? where?!?

it came out? where?!?

It's customs I made. The score certainly out on May 1st ;)

They might be in anticipation... like Mr Gold's cover about 6 months ago lol

Here are two alternates I have created , hope you ll enjoy them!

First, Exodus got the worst artworks, so I found a picture on deviantart and created this

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/97909682@N03/16791116331" title="exodus front by Eric Xalandar, on Flickr">

The FYC CD got a nice cover and i could make an even better one, but i m waiting for it to pop up before I m doing anything else (fingers crossed!)

Then, "Marnie" always got horrible covers too, so I tried to obtain something better, tell me what you think about it!

I can't decide which of these to use!

These are fantastic, Sully!
I'm especially delighted by the wonderful font your chose for the album text.
And I also don't think they're oversaturated. You can however fix that in a few clicks in GIMP, no big deal.


Jesus, that's a lot of choices. I've seen this image used many times, but you're the first to take it and turn it 90�. I like it. I think it would also work really well if you flipped it 180�, as if she's falling downwards and away from earth. You should try it.

*cough*




I think last night's will stick in my head a few more days yet...

You keep teasing us. No go on, tell us all the details!

Was it custom cover related?

I think I already posted it here, but I still remember dreaming about Trent Reznor one night, he was going to sue me over my Gone Girl covers. He even came by my house and was knocking frantically at my front door. scary stuff lol

Very nice! What did you think of my Gravity covers (http://customscorecovers.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/blog-post_57.html)? I'm thinking of changing the logo to the one you've used - with the letters more spaced out.

DAK said he met Claire Underwood in a dream - well, I met Miss Johansson. She was really friendly and gave me a big hug.

It looks good. Very well-crafted. Although I would also suggest in using the original font types. I know it's tough and sometimes even impossible to find the original fonts. I can provide you with source material of you like...?

For me it's either as true to the original as possible or completely customized, that's when I tend to let my creativity go wild and do something entirely different. Much like Jay does it in his Disney covers, completely ditching the official logos.

Special thanks goes to James P. Sullivan (Sully) for providing me the logo used in the cover.

Flipped V2 and added it as V8, also I added a few stars at the top of V2: http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/official-custom-covers-thread-90457/240.html#post2910073


*cough*



Yeah, that's where I got the idea, I was looking on Google for posters, images and wallpapers to use and I saw this one and thought that was a pretty cool idea to flip it 90�. I actually thought it was an official cover :D

What's rong with Recording Sessions? Apparently they're the same thing, or so I thought. At least that's what everyone here seems to think....

I've heard GIMP is the poor man's photoshop lol

It really is. :p

By the way, what do you guys think of my new blog? I've tried to customise it to a certain degree and I've finally brushed up a logo for it.

Bravo Sully! :D

That's a good lookin' logo there. Smart thing with the two C's. I prefer the new look to the old one, which felt right out of 2006.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, the new look is better. I've had that logo in my mind for a couple of years, but never really had an opportunity to use it (apart from on the spine of my back cover for my custom complete soundtrack to Cars 2). And I was just mucking around with the gradient fill tool and stumbled across the '3D' look.

I'm having trouble finding a large enough png logo for Gravity. The one I used on my recent covers had the letters fairly close together, but the more regular logo has the letters spaced further apart, like on tintacle's, heidl's, Helix's, and Jason's covers. Where did you guys find yours?

I know I requested a couple of versions for Horton not long ago, and the results were great, but I then thought of this as a cover and couldn't resist having a go with it...

Now that you have a different theme and a logo it looks so much better, much more cohesive! Great job Sully!

As I said on your blog - I like this cover probably because of the contrast of colors. You've got the field of pink flowers, the yellow sun in the background, and the dark, almost ominous clouds at the top. Your cover is especially beautiful compared to the real thing (), where Horton looks like some sort of shady drug dealer and the Mayor looks surprised to have been photographed. I daresay your cover is actually a lot better than the real thing! You probably put a lot more work into it, at least. :p

So far I think your blog looks awesome, and that logo is a clever idea. It's nice to have somewhere where I can browse through only your work. :)

I'll take that as a compliment ;)

Can someone please make a custom cover for Steven Spielberg's Lincoln movie from 2012? Besides the original art that was based on the poster, I haven't seen a custom for it anywhere. And it's like they only decided to release one poster for it...

Started listening to both the FYC and the original score, hoping there's an expanded score out there.

EDIT:
Also, nice blog, Sulley. I remember someone else having a custom album art site... think it was Bugz...

It looks like I'll be attempting a fairly big dump of recent covers I've been putting together. I'll start with three customs for a new soundtrack which has really got me under its creepy spell this past week: Disasterpeace's original score for It Follows. Fond memories of late nights compiling artwork and making these work as best as I could. I hope you all enjoy!

And I've got one for Paul Leonard-Morgan's Dredd, one of the most propulsive scores of the past few years. I really smile at the cult love this film and score has got over the years. It was such a great experience seeing this one in 3-D at the cinema when it released! I think I'll be telling my kids about it! Haha!

I couldn't find a good cover for The Wolverine, so I decided to make one using my minimal image-editing skills.

I personally don't like unnecessary wording like "Complete Recording Sessions" or "Original Motion Picture Score", so I kept the text to a minimum.

Nice work, Skelly!

Although it's kinda sinister-looking, what with the bloody phantom-lady and all... I haven't seen the film (yet), but I'm pretty sure it's not a horror film... ;)

It's Jean Grey ;)

Wolverine's memory of Jean follows him around like some sort of ghost, essentially haunting him. I thought it might be fun to play with that idea.

That's a GREAT set of GoT! What an awesome way to show off the houses sigils.
However, I would vary the paper texture a bit. Maybe flip or rotate it every now and then to make it look like it's a real paperpack case.


By the way, what do you guys think of my new blog? I've tried to customise it to a certain degree and I've finally brushed up a logo for it.

Welcome to the party, Sulley! I added you to my blogroll.

Ok, i'm tired and i just wanted this uploaded. I'm sure something like this has been done already, but here it is anyway. Nothing special or advanced, but i like it.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Cheers man! And yeah, i'll do that in a future update. Might take a while though.

So I'm working on some complex projects.
Mainly involving scanning an entire movie. Twice.

The first time I scan the movie, I take the average samples of each and every single frame.
It gets squished to an average color, forming a palette for the frame.
Then it all gets laid out in a sequential line.

Example: Mouline Rouge! (2001)
Average color of each frame, lined up frame after frame.
)
Look how colorful the film is!

Now that I got that, scan the movie's audio.
Grabbing a waveform that I can use.
I convert the total audio down to mono. Surround sound or even stereo is not important.
I just need a powerful waveform.


But I can do better than that. I can grade the transparency so it's not completely solid.
It'll fade from the center out, so the center is the real power of the waveform (as it should be).

Better.

Now I can mix the two if I want for something creative...


And now for an appropriate screenshot from the movie...
Cropped black bars, so I have 1920x800 resoluton.



And this is the only thing I can think when I have all 3 elements
1920x1080 resolution


My monitor is small, 1280x1024 so I made one that fits my monitor as a wallpaper.


The waveform is more prominent in this version.


But, I want more.
Something more creative.
I don't have any photo editors installed any more.
Those were archived from when I did that a year or two ago.

I want to do something like have the colored/filled waveform close to 85% transparent overlayed the movie poster some how.
Make it subtle.
More screenshots of the movie can be taken for more options.
Or it could work on other posters.

The idea is to use the colored/filled waveform as part of the soundtrack poster.

But rather the end credits/film-edit.
Moulin Rouge could use a bluray rip update.

This technique can be applied to other soundtracks too, to illustrate the nature of the film vs the soundtrack.
The soundtrack/sessions/etc can be joined as a single image, then scanned to create a waveform of the music itself, not just the movie audio.

Anyone have ideas or want to play with it?

It would be really cool to stretch the waveform long enough to wrap in a complete circle, as if it were printed to disc or vinyl, no?

Take a look guys. :D

I really like the idea of stretching the waveform around.
Like the Black Speech for the LOTR albums.

I just need photoshop people.

I don't even know if a score is being released for this one... not even Balfe does.
But by what I've heard from it from a few clips and a track Balfe posted on YouTube today (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz5dct3DF0Q), it sounds pretty good.
I really hope an album is released!

Holy crap! Heidl, hearing from you is like getting mail from a rock star. Your work on HQCovers.net is what helped put the inspiration back into my own work doing custom alternate covers! I couldn't even begin to express the huge grin I had when seeing my cover alongside some advice and a thoughtful compliment. I appreciate it very much, my friend! And I will take your suggestion to heart and see what I can work up following your comments. I'm likely not done with the It Follows covers, as a forum member has also asked for a back cover (which will be my first attempt at such). Adios for now!

2 months! Jesus!

Yeah, but it's not like I've put in 4 hours a day or anything. Just a bit here and there whenever I have time+energy. :)

Been working on some Elfman covers as I update my home music library. Included are:
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Beetlejuice
Batman (1989)
Batman Returns
2 versions of The Nightmare Before Christmas (both the regular soundtrack and the orchestral version) and
2 versions of Sleepy Hollow (Orange or Teal)
2 discs for Edward Scissorhands (yes, I know it says "complete" rather than "expanded," but meh).

What a brilliant idea, Sparky!! I love it! I'd love to see one of these for all my favourite films! (Just the colour-filled waveforms. The screenshot thing detracts from the whole idea, imo.) Even though the colour palette isn't the brightest, I'm thinking Inception would make an awesome one. What great wallpapers they'd make! For a brightly-coloured film, perhaps Cars 2 would be good?

Would you believe it, I was seriously considering doing this exact thing myself a couple of weeks ago, but due to time constraints, I hadn't started it yet. I'm glad I didn't! You've more than earned yourself a rep from me. :)

I don't even know if a score is being released for this one... not even Balfe does.
But by what I've heard from it from a few clips and a track Balfe posted on YouTube today (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz5dct3DF0Q), it sounds pretty good.
I really hope an album is released!

Nice cover! I do love a bit of Balfe. ;)

It would be really cool to stretch the waveform long enough to wrap in a complete circle, as if it were printed to disc or vinyl, no?

Well, there's your waveform wrapped around a circle:

I've boosted the colours a bit, but otherwise it's very rough and only a quick mockup. Can be done in Photoshop withing a matter of seconds really. Also, the bigger the source file, the better the quality in the end – obviously. This one here only used the 1920px file, which resulted in these jaggy lines – especially the almost horizontal and almost vertical ones. But yeah, can be done easily :)

I couldn't resist doing a couple of these. The poster I've used below is the international poster, and is less cramped than the first (notice particularly Black Widow, Cap, and Iron Man). Also, Stark is in the front where he should be. Cap can be at the front for Civil War.

Could anybody tell me where can I find the original cover for ''Run All Night'' in hi-res? All I could find was 600x600.

All I could find just now was 500x500. Odd that there aren't more of different sizes. Guess it's quite early still. Keep checking Google.

WT...?! I searched "Run all night soundtrack" and "Run all night OST cover", and I even searched using the smaller image, and the only other size of that image that Google found for me was 225x225!

How did you find it??

Btw, any thoughts on my AoU covers?

Also, a great collection of custom covers in your signature!



Holy crap! Heidl, hearing from you is like getting mail from a rock star. Your work on HQCovers.net is what helped put the inspiration back into my own work doing custom alternate covers! I couldn't even begin to express the huge grin I had when seeing my cover alongside some advice and a thoughtful compliment. I appreciate it very much, my friend! And I will take your suggestion to heart and see what I can work up following your comments. I'm likely not done with the It Follows covers, as a forum member has also asked for a back cover (which will be my first attempt at such). Adios for now!

Thank you, really!

But don't read too much into it. I'm just an average guy like the next one. And I'm not even that good looking ;-)

That's a tricky one.

I like how you put the title in the shadows. It's still identifiable. I would even go so far to put the "OST" term in the figure's shadow as well. Anybody knows what it says anyway. But maybe expand it over the whole width (one letter per box?)

The artist's name worries me a bit, it's so long and looks a bit jammed down there. Have you tried to wrap it?

The most elegant solution to my nitpickings however would be to expand the whole image. The box-patterned background would qualify just perfect for it. Wanna give it a try? Or should I?

It looks great except for the s at the end covering the face of the Ultron clone. ;)

And some additional critiquing:

Because of where she's placed and which direction that bahhhdy is facing, there should be little-to-no space behind her. There should be what's called "lead room" on the left side of the image, and no space behind here. It's like how you have a camera set up when interviewing someone. Whichever direction they're facing is where all the lead room is at, there's nothing behind them. Fix that up and it'll look more professional

You're added. :) I just don't want to have to search through every day in case someone asked. Much easier to have them PM me so i can't miss it.

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately it's a no-can-do situation. That's the full width of the image. So unless I crop off the space behind her and then squash the narrow strip that's left into a square, I can't do anything about it. :erm:

Can you slide her to the right and move around the Ultron clones?

Can you slide her to the right and move around the Ultron clones?

Dude, it's one image. If I moved her, there'd be a big Johansson-shaped hole in the picture. Likewise with the drones.

However, a fix is on the way...

Hope you like them! Let me know if you'd like me to do matching covers for any of the other characters. :)

Even though the colour palette isn't the brightest?

I've reviewed my current script for it and found that most movies come out rather dark.
I added a tweak to it to get it more saturated, more brighter and more contrast to the whole movie.
Just so that after all the resize and blurring, the color pallete (bars) would be more colorful.

All current projects and future projects will start off with brighter and more colorful palletes.

Moulin Rogue! (2001) project was one of my first attempts and didn't want to want to change the colors as I wanted it to more accurately portray the film.

But since this is for Art Class�, everything is game.


Inception...Cars 2

I can work on those.
Inception first, as I have the bluray.
Cars 2, I'd have to locate.


The screenshot thing detracts from the whole idea, imo
That's an idea for wallpapers and movie posters.
Separate from what I want for the cover albums.

These are excatly the type of creativity I'm looking for!

I hit "like" then "unlike" so I can "like" again.
I did that about a hundred times. ;)

These are wonderful!


This one here only used the 1920px file, which resulted in these jaggy lines � especially the almost horizontal and almost vertical ones

I'm currently reviewing the software I'm using.

The color bars/pallete is done using avisynth and it fits within the dimensions of the movie you're doing this with.
Since I work with bluray remuxes, the dimensions are limited to 1920x1080.
Which, when you alter in ways that affect length, like wrapping, aliasing (jaggy lines) is very likely.
However, I believe there should be a way to get it to have wider dimensions.

The audio waveform is taken using a CLI program.
It has options to define custom resolutions, so I can work that, too.



The first one makes me think of doing the Sunshine (2007) movie to go with the John Murphy soundtrack.
The second one looks great for first-runs of any soundtrack.
The third one is indeed great for Interstellar or other movies like A Scanner Darkly (2006) or even Memento (2000).
The last one makes me think of the Mockingjay or a phoenix (X-Men Last Stand)

Today, I'll review what I can change and process Interstellar.
I'll process the audio from the film and then process the deluxe OST as a single image.
The film will give more spikes and variation in the waveform.
The OST will give a more static presentation.

Inception and Interstellar in the next few days after I fine-tune the software/scripts.

Looks great, Sulley! Any chance you could make one with equal credit for both Brian Tyler and Danny Elfman though?

For anyone who hasn't heard, Elfman has just finished recording over 60 minutes of score for this film (probably replacing about that much of Tyler's compositions).

Nice covers, Sulley! These should tide us over till we get the official cover... Elfman may be scoring a good portion of the music like amh mentioned, but as usual, the cover depends what material goes on the official release... so if most of Tyler's stuff makes the cut and Elfman's edits don't, the text on the art would say "Additional Music By Danny Elfman" like all the posters have right now.

Thanks Sulley!


Wow, that's unexpected. Source? Last I heard Elfman stated that he "adapted" Silvestri's theme, and was credited with "additional music".

Well the poster does credit him as writing "Additional Music," but it was actually Elfman's music editor who revealed just how much work Elfman had put into it:


Just finished one of the most intense & quick projects of my entire career. I was music editing - about an hour of music composed, recorded, mixed, conformed to new pix and delivered in 24 grueling days! I think I've earned a nap

Anyway, some die-hard Elfman fanatics were able to eliminate other projects on Danny's schedule and they've been talking about it incessantly over at FSM and JWFan for almost a week now.

I disagree with this philosophy. Should Zimmer be getting equal credit with other composers on albums like Inception, Megamind, Kung Fu Panda, Sherlock Holmes, TASM2, etc?

Should Zimmer be getting equal credit with other composers on albums like Inception, Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: AGoS & ''Angels & Demons''.

Agreed. Lorne Balfe should have been credited with Zimmer as a co-composer for these projects. Just sayin'

A lot of composers should be getting "Additional Music By" credit.
Not just a fine print in the booklet or the end credits.

I loved it when Elfman did that track on Army of Darkness.
When Conrad Pope took over The Wolfman.
HGW did some stuff for Prometheus.

It certainly seems like Balfe was practically a co-composer on Inception.

However, I believe there should be a way to get it to have wider dimensions.

That's not quite what i mean… The source dimensions are irrelevant. Heck, you could work with a crappy 300x200px video, because all you need is to get that one pixel (one colour) per frame. This then gets stretched up horizontally to get what you posted before. Let's assume 90 minutes long movie; you'll end up with 129600 pixels (90 minutes * 60 seconds * 24 frames) – one for each frame. So the final picture is 129600 pixels wide. Hight is again irrelevant, since you can stretch it up indefinitely. With a picture this large, you can twist it around a circle much better. Yes, you will still end up with jaggy lines, but you have a much bigger picture to work with where scaling down is an option.

Can someone enlighten me as to how to save an audio file that plays in the background on a webpage? I've checked the HTML for audio extensions (.mp3, etc) but with no luck, and it seems Macs don't store temporary internet files like PC's do, blast it.

There are quite a lot of ways to do it – but there are also quite a lot of ways to embed it in the website to begin with. It could be Flash, it could be a HTML5 canvas element, it could be coming in as a stream… First thing, i would look at the page source and search for .mp3 and similar. If nothing comes up (which is probable), there are a few handy extensions you could try; like DownThemAll (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/downthemall/) or DownloadHelper (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/). (All this is assuming Firefox, but there are similar add-ons for Chrome.)

There's no guarantee it'll always work, of course. The most difficult ones (i dare say impossible ones) are flash-players that either embed the music file inside the .swf file, or that play a stream from somewhere else, which never gets cached. Then your only option is to capture it with a 3rd party program.

Firefox has always been the way to go for me. Just start playing the track and you can instantly download it. Although in shitty quality, usually 128-192k :/

The last thing I'd do would be using a 3rd party program. I managed to nab a track off Don Harper's website once using temporary Internet files, which worked wonderfully.

Wider dimensions can be obtained.
But probably not in the extreme dimensions of 129600 pixels.
That would crash the machine.

Each render of the color bars takes anywhere from 2-20 minutes (depending on system specs and SDD vs HDD vs USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0).

I've started adding a tweak to each script to make it brighter in color and brightness from the start.
The colors are more accurate now.

I've also started doing it in 4K resolutions.
3840x2160
The hieight is there for the benefit of already being resized for other projects.
I don't know what resize kernels Photoshop uses.
Avisynth has very customizable resize kernels.

I could try get something like 5760x renders. Or bigger.
It might crash. Or take infinitely longer.
But, I'd rather render with avisynh (source) since it'll be a cleaner render.

Both the color bars and waveforms can be rendered to any dimension.
Waveform is much faster however.
Since it's a 16bit mono wav file.

Glad you like my AoU covers. I think I might have a few more up my long sleeves. I do wonder what the official cover will look like. One day, we'll have the AoU sessions, and faultless tags courtesy of DAK and we'll finally be able to work out who did what. But I think that day is still far, far away...

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------





Let's hope the AoU sessions leak soon then. It'll be like the TDKR ones leaking well before the Blu-Ray/DVD/Ultraviolet release.


A lot of composers should be getting "Additional Music By" credit.
Not just a fine print in the booklet or the end credits.




Well the poster does credit him as writing "Additional Music," but it was actually Elfman's music editor who revealed just how much work Elfman had put into it:



Anyway, some die-hard Elfman fanatics were able to eliminate other projects on Danny's schedule and they've been talking about it incessantly over at FSM and JWFan for almost a week now.

I disagree with this philosophy. Should Zimmer be getting equal credit with other composers on albums like Inception, Megamind, Kung Fu Panda, Sherlock Holmes, TASM2, etc?

That really depends. If you manage to read the liner notes (I never do), you may be able to find out who did what.

Take Man of Steel for example.
I didn't know Junkie XL was involved in it apart from the drums sessions... or Steve Mazzaro. But from what we've got in the sessions tags, Junkie's only collaborated with Zimmer for about 5 cues for the movie. Andrew Kawczynski and Steve Mazzaro have only collab'd on one cue each.

So in this case, Hans Zimmer would obviously get his name on the cover as preference for the body of work that he did.

Is this it (for Chrome)?

It seems to be just a video downloader, not behind-the-scenes audio from webpages...

Sorry, Sulley works on a Mac. :/

Whenever I want to capture streaming audio/video, I use a Firefox add-on called Video DownloadHelper (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/) (I use Firefox only when I need to use that). If a song starts playing in the background of a website, the little icon starts spinning around and you can choose which file to download.

Wider dimensions can be obtained.
But probably not in the extreme dimensions of 129600 pixels.
That would crash the machine.

It did.
I just tried on a 2min trailer.

Going beyond: 1920*4 (7680) will likely end in a crash.

I tried 1920*5 (9600) and it didn't even register the script properly.
Probably out of memory issue since the dimensions are too drastic.
The script involved is quite complex, as in a lot of calls and internal resizers just to get the color square.

Trying out 7680x2160.
That should give the highest and richest render available.
Pretty sure that resizing with this should give decent results in any program.

The waveform, however, I need to test for maximum render.
That's the one that actually gives aliasing in any warping. It has more details than plain color bars.



Sullly. Inception is half done.
4K resolution of the color pallete to the film.
Will redo in highest resolution.

Inception 4K (original colors)


Inception 4K (tweaked colors)


:laugh: Never would have picked it for a brown movie.

Just need to convert the audio to get the waveform.



Here's Interstellar movie:

Color Pallete: 4K 3840x2160


Waveform: 4K 3840x2160


Combined: 4K 3840x2160
I still had to tweak this one even brighter and more saturated so it shows up when mixed with the waveform.


I'm thinking I should normalize the movie audio with RMS normalization so it's a lot more compressed.
The spikes are very dynamic. The differences between the loudest and quietest parts are too severe when layered with the waveform.

On its own, the color bars look nice.
But the waveform is too variable that it hides a lot of the colors.

I'll try RMS normalization so the power of the waveform increases.
I thought Peak normalization would be okay.

That's really beautiful.

There's also the matter of extracting the colored waveform and putting it on an alpha channel so it's just the waveform.

Surrounding it with black also adds to the dull appearance.

I remember there was a trick I did to get it exact without using a brush or lasso to select/delete colors.
Deleting the black would delete any black in the color bars, as well.

Lasso selection isn't preferrable either, as it tends to feather a lot.
No matter what settings you use, you can't get the exact waveform. Edge details are lost.

I think I created waveforms with inverted transparency so I just overwrite the image with new transparent levels (where the black would go) and save it as a new image.
This way you get exact waveform and not messy, feathered job.

Will redo in highest resolution.

Wow, thanks for doing Inception - it looks awesome! Although I think I actually preferred the colour palette before you tweaked it. It's more reminiscent of the film. Can't wait to see the finished waveform! :D

I'm loving this idea of yours more and more...

If a song starts playing in the background of a website, the little icon starts spinning around and you can choose which file to download.

Does it download the original file, or does it just rip the audio? And what's the quality like when you compare it to what it sounded like on the website?

Well, these tags are misleading! Because, JXL was involved in more than the drums sessions. He co-wrote Zod's theme/Arcade/You Die Or I Do/Zod's Story and many other. That's why I think, he should have been credited with Zimmer as a co-composer, not just for additional music.

Good to check HZ.com for (MoS) right tags.

Does it download the original file, or does it just rip the audio? And what's the quality like when you compare it to what it sounded like on the website?

It downloads the original file, so it should sound the same as it does on whatever website it's playing on.

Okay, here's the Interstellar waveform with transparency, probably.



Saved in PNG format.

Took awhile to remember how to work Adobe Photoshop.
It's all new and stuff...

It was select "color range" on an inverted alpha PNG.
That way you can copy the color wave on black into the wave on alpha. :smrt:


Confirmed transparency.
Switched from bright side to timewarp template and transparency shows on the PNG.
Just save and do what you want with it.
Throw it on red, throw it on green, throw it on Mat's face...

I thought this was a custom cover thread. lol

It is.

Just creating assets to create a new cover.

How's the Inception waveform coming along? Can't wait to see it!

Combined: 4K 3840x2160

These resolutions should be great to make some assets for 1500 covers. Good job!

How's the Inception waveform coming along? Can't wait to see it!

How's my sammich coming along? Can't wait to eat it.

Jk.

After the movies are done, I'll combine the OST as an image and scan those.
The waveforms from those can replace movie waveform for music covers.

The colors are mostly washed out.

Going through the trailers, too, to see what I can grab and darken.
I think some tweaking is needed though. Some shots come in too dark.

I think this image is from all the X-Men Origins: Wolverine campaigns. His claws are not adamantium in The Wolverine, they're bone

His claws are not adamantium in The Wolverine, they're bone

Well... they are adamantium for the most part... but then they get crushed.

But in DofP he has adamantium again so.... I don't know what happened between the two films. Maybe Magneto gave Wolverine a little help.

But even so, I do think that cover is from the first Wolverine movie. The style sure looks like it. I think if you replaced "The Wolverine" logo with "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", I'd definitely use that cover, Sulley.

I don't even remember.....just that they were bone at one point. The movie sucked and DoFP fixed all the shittiness that took place in the past (looking at you, Brett Ratner)

The X-Men timeline is a mess. (http://imgur.com/a/B2M1n) There's virtually no continuity between films.

The most hilarious contradiction is in X-Men 3, Trask is a fat black guy (). In Days of Future Past, Trask is a short, white guy with glasses and is shot in the head ()30 years before X-Men 3.

With those waveforms...neat idea, but why the massive filesize? Even at 300 dpi you don't need one larger than 1425, and that's for printing. My Sonos won't even accept filesizes over 1024x1024.

The massive filesize of these waveforms is required so i can process them into large enough assets for further use. When you twist a picture around, it loses quality with each pass – and this is especially noticeable on thin lines such as the ones you find in these waves. Finally, once you have the twisted waveform, you still need to do something with them: Either have them centered like in my previews, but maybe you only wanna use parts of them.

As far as I'm concerned, X-Men are the only non-Disney Marvel films worth seeing. Forget Fantastic 4, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider and everyone else (Although I do love Blade). I'm going to go out on a limb (which isn't really risking anything here) and say you haven't seen any of the X-Men films. And if you haven't seen them by now, don't waste your time being that DoFP has been made. It completely omits all the other films (which is a good thing beause the time line is fucked up beyond repair - the only repair being DoFP). So if you're going to watch any of them, watch DoFP. It won't have as much meaning to you as it did for everyone else, because it pretty much healed everything, but it's still a good movie. The best in the franchise yet.

First Class was a good installment itself. Also works as an intro for the younger versions of the characters in DoFP. The Wolverine is okay too, I suppose.

The Wolverine was pretty good, and I really enjoyed the second X-Men... the first one is too goofy and doesn't fit with the rest of the franchise.

Just read the Wikipedia page for X-Men 3; the movie's awful, but the general storyline is all right. Avoid X-Men Origins: Wolverine at all costs.

First Class and Days of Future Past are amazing films, both with mind-blowingly good scores.

I promise you I will watch the rest of the MCU soon, and Man of Steel.

I wasn't thinking. First Class is good. I hated The Wolverine. Why? I don't know. I just did not like it. Same as Origins and The last Stand. I'll agree X1 is a little goofy, but I still like it. And X2 is very good.

This looks spectacular! I had to squint to see what was different and then I remembered the "assembe" line.


are the X-Men films worth seeing?

Yes.
For The Wolverine, watch the unrated version. There's more story to it and doesn't feel so rushed.

There's a scene after the end credits of:
X3 (vital before watching all the rest)
Origins: Wolverine
DOFP


I wasn't thinking. First Class is good. I hated The Wolverine. Why? I don't know. I just did not like it. Same as Origins and The last Stand. I'll agree X1 is a little goofy, but I still like it. And X2 is very good.

Watch the unrated Wolvie.
Look closely at his claws after he attacks at the funeral. There's blood and hair on them.

Origins is pretty bad. The last half really goes over the top.
Feels like it suffered over 100 rewrites.
It's partly good.

The trailer was awesome since it used Murphy's Sunshine OST.

I still don't know how Wolverine got his adamantium back for DOFP.
He must have had another injection in his hands.
Or maybe they just grew back slowly? :laugh:

That's like 3 times we see his bone claws throughout the series.

I don't know how he got all the adamantium back either, but I don't care since DoFP omits everything else. But then again when he wakes up in Saigon at the beginning of DoFP he has bone again....so idk.

According to rumors, The Wolverine 2 will take place between The Wolverine and DoFP. Maybe they'll bother to give us an explanation then.

My theory is that Magneto rearranged the placing of adamantium on his body to be back on his claws again.

Works for me. It doesn't have to be an exact, fact-proven explanation and I can susbend my belief

I don't know how he got all the adamantium back either, but I don't care since DoFP omits everything else. But then again when he wakes up in Saigon at the beginning of DoFP he has bone again....so idk.

He wakes up in the US I believe.
He has bone because it's 2 years before he encounters Stryker to join Team X and get them adamantium.[COLOR="Silver"]

That would wreck his whole body as the adamantium replaced all his bones.
He would need to go in for a spa treatment to get them nice and shiny again.

They probably break into a facility to jack him all up on admantium.

Duly updated. Thanks to Rotane for the cleaned-up image!

Nah, it coats his bones. Remember the part in X-Men 2 where Stryker explains that adamantium hardens when it's not at a boiling temperature? They shot scalding adamtnium into Logan's body, which hardened and coated his bones.

Though like DAK says it doesn't even matter anymore since DoFP reset the clock.
