Create a flash movie like Linkin Park one

When I was looking at Linkin Park homepage, I was impressed by the intro. It’s very simple but very nice.

To do something similar, we need four elements:

1) A b/w photo with an high contrast
2) PhotoShop
3) Flash
4) An awesome music track

Finding the photo

It’s quite easy to find (or shot) a photo… just remember it should have an high contrast between the white background and the black foreground. Read more

Cyanotype effect Photoshop Action

From Wikipedia: Cyanotype is an old monochrome photographic printing process which gives a cyan-blue print.

The English scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel discovered this procedure in 1842. Though Sir John Herschel is perhaps the inventor of the cyanotype process, it was Anna Atkins, a British scientist, who brought the process into the realm of photography. She created a limited series of cyanotype books that documented ferns and other plant life. By using this process, Anna Atkins is regarded as the first woman photographer.

Let’s ty to replicate the effect.

Photo to impressionist painting action with Photoshop

From Wikipedia: Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists who began publicly exhibiting their art in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from Claude Monet’s Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant). Critic Louis Leroy inadvertently coined the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari.

With this action, you will be able to transform a photo into a impressionist painting like Monet ones.
