I remember you well from the Photoshop training. Glad all the tips helped..... (the burn tool is for life!) And that it helped you get a distinction in your backgrounds project. We’re still plugging on in here. Just saw ‘The Secret of Kells’ on Monday....amazing looking and you’re right, cool trees! Hope your second year treats you well. As an extra tip the new Photoshop has an option to import footage into it and you can draw over it on different layers or use photoshop filters on it. Well worth some research into it for using in an end of year film...hint hint ;) Hi Orla,

I'm now in my second year of animation but last year one of the assignments we were given was to...render a background using photoshop of course! and thanks to your many tips and advice I ended up getting a distinction for that!something I never would have got on my own! I wish I could show you the difference between the background I did before the week I spent with yous and the final piece...it's ridiculous!well actually I don't think I could bare to let anybody see the first one...it was done before I'd been introduced to the burn tool.... anyway so thank you so much for help and time! so back to the topic, some of those tree designs are stunning, really like the Bill Wray's Mad About Cartoons tree! and of course the backgrounds from Sleeping Beauty are astonishing! Know they're not in the image above but I really love the square trees that are in front of the castle in the film, they have real ones in disneyland paris...so cool! Have you seen The Secret of Kells yet? some spectacular tree designs in that! hiya Bronagh,
