~ Storyboards in the Animation Art section

Guys, I am trying to get this section populated a little. I only have one full storyboard myself, I have some more from episode 1 that I still need to scan, but am trying to get this storyboard for ep 71 up and available.

I would like to go the easy way with this item, by using pdf files. I am no pro with pdfs and don’t have the writer, so I can’t resize the files at all. I’m looking for help (again) with this.

I would like to:

  1. Rotate the view so that you can look at these properly as soon as the file launches
  2. Reduce the file size if possible (giving up some scan quality is acceptable)
  3. Add watermarks to each page (that can’t be removed easily)

Here is the page that I’ve posted them on. I also have jpeg scans of each page so if it’s impossible to do what I asked above, we can also work with an image editing software (though it will probably take MUCH longer?)

Chris here…

Awesome to see these online, Mark - I’ll look at those properly later, they look amazing! :slight_smile:

As for the PDF issues, I believe MannyC has been working on incorporating some full comic issue scans into PDF files for the “Members Only” section of these Boards - it may be worth firing your questions in his direction. :slight_smile:

Take care… :slight_smile:

They’re not really on-line yet, at least they’re not linked in to the rest of the site, I don’t want the storyboard available until the watermarks have gone in.

Manny, can you help bro?

Hey Mark, all you need is the jpeg files switched over to pdf? If so I can do the job for you. I would need to know where each file is so I can resize it,add watermarks and make it into pdf format. After they are resized they should be fairly easy to read and follow thru. At the moment I have a considerable amt. of time to spare so basically the sooner I can get the single files the sooner I can have it ready. Also the current format that you have it in is that the way you want everything to look like (scrolling down to view the pages).

Hey Manny!

Ummm…

Was wondering if there is a way to apply the watermark to the existing pdf docs? If no then I can start uploading the jpegs as a back up option.

And I would like the pdf to be set to landscape. I assume scrolling down is a good option but if you can think of a better one I’d happily entertain other options.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark I have finished this for you. The watermarks should be tough to remove but like any watermark it is possible to do if you want to take the time to do it. I will upload what I did to the same folder and if you like it you can erase the old ones and rename it to coincide with what you had before. The sizing is set to an automatic zoom of 70% which makes it viewable and easy to scroll and the watermarks have been set as well.

UPDATE: Files have been uploaded, they are named the same but both have the word “edited” at the end of the file.
