A little Photoshop playtime
I thought I would sit down for an hour with Photoshop and put together something that captures the flavour of the movie we’re about to make. It’s a mash-up of some photos I found using Google’s useful image search facility (you can bet there are no trees like that in Portadown, unless there’s a Portadown, California out there). I found a lot of parka coats in an online catalogue. Although this one lacks the traditional fur-rimmed hood, it was the only one that had an air of menace. Obviously, this mash-up isn’t what we’ll use for the final artwork when it comes time to promote the film, but maybe we’ll use the same idea. The movie title reflects my current favourite, and may change. The tagline is whatever I could think up in the space of a couple of minutes.

Nice idea, but yeah… you know if the original copyright holders of those images find out you’ve used them for “commercial purposes” they’ll fire law-suits up your wazoo so fast you’re eyes-balls will fly out and go into orbit.
“and so you believe that Mr Sloans unsolicited use of your parka image has cost you $53 million dollars?”

Looks good, reminds me of the Dreamcatcher artwork for the Stephen King book, film, etc.

Thanks, Glenn. Got your text, and very glad for your enthusiasm. We’re probably looking at August/September before we get into the shooting. Will keep you posted.
