Skills Development - Making the chain circle

To recreate the stock image of a chain link circle that I had used for my flatplan, I used Photoshop to edit the image of the chain that I had taken and removed the background of.

The first thing I tried was placing the image of the chain on a new document and using the polar coordinates setting, seen here:

The setting was very simple to use, I just had to select the "Rectangular to Polar" box, pictured here:

This did not quite give me the results I had hoped for, however, as it had only made a semi circle, pictured here:

I decided to try again with a longer chain, so I undid the polar coordinates command, duplicated the image I had and flipped it horizontally, before placing it next to the original image and merging the layers into one, like so:

I then tried the polar coordinates setting again and this time it created a circle like I had hoped for:

The circle was not perfect, however, as the image had been stretched so the chains looked too thin. To counter this, I undid the polar coordinates then stretched the original image upwards:

I experimented with different levels of distortion until I ended up with what I had hoped for:

Edited Chain and Lock for Digipak

I removed the background from two of the images I took, using Photoshop, so these images can be used on my digipak to replace the stock images I used in my flatplan.

Skills Development - Rising Zombie

To create the effect of the main character in my music video rising up from bed, I had to reverse and slow down a clip of him falling in Adobe Premiere Pro.

To reverse the footage, I had to right click the clip, and click on "Speed/Duration", as can be seen in the below screenshot: 

This then opened up the "Speed/Duration" window and I had to select the "Reverse Speed" box, seen here:

The final step was slowing the clip down. I did this by changing the "Speed" percentage in the same window pictured above to "50%".
