Occasionally make movie posters for YouTube videos I download, primarily using low-tech means like cropping, layering, etc.

Mainly because I don't know how to do the more advanced stuff, but I find it kind of fun though to try to do similar levels of quality with lower-tech tools. Kind of like coding challenges but with Paint.NET. Lol. (BTW, that's not a link. Lol.)

Did you watch that short movie that someone here made a few months ago? It was about a doc who dresses up for Halloween. It was really good and making a poster for it would be cool.

I actually didn't! Do you have the link for it?

It's about 12 minutes.

....Thanks? I'm sorry; I'm just confused why you would mention that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just to let you know that it's a short film. You don't have to commit to 2 hours.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Oh.

I appreciate that. :)
