Time lapse video capture of me making my sig. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1LzYW_timA"]YouTube - Making of a Sig: Channing Crowder[/ame]
I think it's interesting you actually paint your cutouts ... I use the magic lasso tool and zoom in to 8x on my work. Either way nice work Gish, on both the sig and the video.
I do what Gish does... usually I make a black or gray background so I can see what the player looks like on top of color. I zoom in moreso than Gish though.. probably around 400-500%.
