Week 2 - Creating 8-bit style Content...

Well i started to create the 8-bit style photos the other day, and edit them on photoshop. I screenshot certain images from the film via VLC media player as i could use them in the title sequence. This was a clever idea as there was no stock images from the film on the internet, but to be fair the film was released in 1985, years before the internet came along. Originally i though editing the images down to an 8-bit style would be very difficult but as i searched on the internet for walkthroughs it became abundant that it was very simple. All i had to do was to place the image in photoshop and click on Posterize. From there i had the ability to edit the images to look like they were from an 8bit film.


Heres an example of a screenshot i took from the film, and edited into an 8-bit style image.



As you can see it looks pretty good, and yet was simple to create.

Hopefully my title sequence will look the same :)
