…and believe me it’s exhausting.
I’m gonna revisit this one in Photoshop sometime soon and get it right. Way too big at 9 MBs, and the drift is off, but this is the one I want to perfect. This is the one.

Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.

Everything Jim Groom touches is gold. He's like King Midas, but with the Internet.

My understanding is that an essential requirement of the internet is to do whatever Jim Groom asks of you while you're online.

āReverendā Jim āThe Bavaā Groom, alias āSnake Pliskinā is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed āused car salesmanā clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washingtonās DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with āEdupunkā, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.

It’s clearly coming along though. I was looking at some of the ones at If We Don’t, Remember Me – http://iwdrm.tumblr.com/ (thanks to @Brad Kozlek), and by “some,” I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE. I’m wondering how much masking they end up having to do, which made me think of Ralph Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings, and how awesome some of that looks. Remember some of those nighttime scenes where the eyes were glowing? Similar, modern implementations of rotoscoping-like techniques don’t look exactly the same to me – think Waking Life or A Scanner Darkly. They end up looking more like flat-shaded 3D animation. Not that they aren’t cool, but they don’t have the analog, gritty, handmade look that makes Bakshi’s LOTR, if not a great film, at least intriguing to the eye.
Anyhow, I got to thinking that, with an heroic effort, wouldn’t it be awesome to take an entire film and mask out the entire background, leaving only the characters, completely divorced from their context in space/place? Anyhow, just pondering out loud…
Impressive. I intend to perfect Pee Wee’s big shoe dance.
yes, that must be exhausting!
Hahaha this is cool! š
