French movies

Apr 24, 2006 02:58

Time to celebrate the end of my vacation. It was good, even if it was of course too short ;) I've been playing like crazy with Photoshop but my interest these days lies much with some French movies I've seen recently so I don't think many of you will be interested too. Anyway, here's a first post about two actors and three movies. ( Albert & Christopher )

wow.

so i have absolutely no clue who these people are, or what these movies are, but i cannot deny the talent you possess in making walls! those are absolutely amazing siriala! i don't suppose you want to teach me photoshop. i just don't have the inclination to learn, and i really, REALLY need to! will you show me :P

perhaps making walls of ewan will be enough incentive for me, no?

but yeah, you make absolutely stunning walls, and these are no exception. great job!!!!!

What she said! I don't know the movies either but your graphics are just stunning. Lovely work honey! ;-) thanks for continuing to share with us.

And so I'll suggest to you too to read the explanations provided by the links I mention ;)

It's so very lovely and thoughtful of you to comment on these walls, particularly if you don't know what they are about. Thanks Lelia :D

Woosie darling ! You deserve the Curt icon ;D

As for who the people are and what the movies are about, just read my prose and click on the links I provided, and you will know ;) But it's great that you appreciate the walls even without knowing their subjects !

Of course I can help you with Photoshop, I just don't know how much help I can be, I'm far from being a pro and I'm still learning each time I create a new wall. But if you need any tips, particularly to begin as I know for a fact it seems a bit daunting at first, don't hesitate to ask, here or by email ;) And Ewan is certainly the best topic to practice :D

I'm still smiling from your compliments !

I have no idea what they are about but I LOVE how they look! :D

The last is my favorite followed very closely by the third and first ones! :D

siriala April 24 2006, 11:56:15 UTC

Third time's the charm ? As I mentioned above, you just have to read what I wrote and to visit the links to know what the walls are about ;D Although I must admit that I enjoy being for once the one who knows and not the one who always asks "what are you all talking about ?!" ;)

I'm smugly happy with this last wall. I was so NOT happy with the Ewan walls I sent to Rose and you, I felt relieved to see I could do something this good (for my level). Glad to see the third one pleases you, I fell a bit out of love with it. And most of all, thanks for your nice words ;D

*hugs*

I always enjoy your art siriala! :D

It's very distinctive!!

The last wall is particularly beautiful. Gorgeous symmetry in the colors and shadings, and I love the warm/cool [but not jarring - how'd you manage that?] contrast.

Thanks ! ;)

Jeunet is the magician here, I simply use his art. The movie is nothing short of stunning in that regard. Jeunet often uses an image inside another one to show for example a scene someone is talking about, or someone writing the letter someone else is reading. He doesn't do it in a Pillow Book way, with an image clearly defined. It's done on the contrary in a "wallpaper style", one image fades into the other.

Also I've always loved Jeunet's attention to details, like Albert Dupontel's stache : it's turned up when he's happy or relaxed, and down when he's in the trenches, at least on every caps I've checked ;)

*grins*

Well, for once on LJ I seem to be among the few who know what those movies and these people are.

I finally wandered here (after quite a long lj-break), and I am sorry I did not come earlier :)

Wow, I looove these walls. But, what an amount of work they must represent ! How many hours did you spend on them ? And how many pics did you use ?????

I love the textures. Really. they make your style very personal.

I confess, I did not see "Enfermés Dehors" *bows head in shame* But I like the wall anyway, so does that count ?

siriala May 13 2006, 23:05:17 UTC

Shame on you !! ;D Well, you'll catch it once it's on TV, I hope. Liking the wall does count, at least for me ;)

I seem to do either very simple walls with only two pics, or very complex ones with too many pics to count on both hands. Time is not really a problem, I love to be able to create something that I love, or I'll get fed up very quickly and stop doing it.

And yes, it's nice to be the one in the know sometimes, isn't it ? ;D

Nice to see you again, I hope you're doing well ;)

lilsan01 May 23 2006, 20:16:51 UTC

Oh, I'm doing well, that's very sweet to ask !

Are you doing well ?

Oh, and I have a question... can I add you to my friends list ? So I don't miss any of your updates ? Can I can I can I ?

siriala May 23 2006, 20:37:22 UTC

Well, since you asked so nicely... avec plaisir :D My next post is gonna be private anyway (because it's rated X) so it may be better. I'll add you back if you don't mind.

And I'm doing, that's all I can say. My bossWork is a bitch these days, but I have the end of the week off after tomorrow for the Ascension, so it should give me a bit of time to rest and meet friends. I'm looking forward to it ! ;)
